The Fate Of all the Followers of Jesse
James
Chicago Times.

Sometimes it has seemed as if there
was no retribution for these men, who
shook their bloody hands in defiance of
Justice while they shouted over their
work. A recapitulation of the manner
in which they have, one by one, met
terrible fate, will go very far toward es-
tablishing the correctness of the idea
that, every now and then, Time takes
hold of these matters himself and, in his
own way, gets even.
Dick Little, who was one of the saddle
gang, tired out, killed Hite, his most
intimate Companion, and then turned over
the whereabouts of JEFF Hite, a brother,
to the authorities. This Hite was SEN
fenced, few days ago, to term of
twenty five years in the Missouri peni-
Tertiary. Little has come off lucky by
resorting to the process known as
'squealing."
John Younger was shot to death by
Captain Lull.
Bud Mcdaniel, who was at the Win
ston robbery, was handed over to the
Kansas authorities, and escaped from
jail. He was secreted in a swamp by an

fought until he fell. His brother, Tom
Mcdaniel, was tracked by two Kentucky
farmers and killed for part he took in

coffin by Jesse James, and now the
leader of the most fearless banditti Of
modern times is plucked by one of his
own company; to whom he administered
the bandits oath; to whom he presented
the weapon that did the work; to whom
he proffered the Inequalities of his home,
and died in the arms of his wife.
There are in the penitentiary Pipes
and Herndon, for ninety nine years, in
Albany, for robbing the mails in Texas
Jack Keene, serving out a fourteen years
sentence for bank robbery in West Vir
ginia; jeff Hite, twenty-five years in
Missouri for a train robbery, and Tucker
Bashan and Billy Ryan, twenty five
years each, for the same offense. Four

is the only one of this band who has died
a natural death thus far.
Frank James, it is believed, is not in
Kentucky, but in the panhandle section
of Texas, where he and Jesse invested
in ranch some years ago.
One of the most vivid pictures which
some writer will have to portray one of

of the woods as he dashed for life to his
old haunts From the effects of this
wound and ride he has never recovered.
The bank and train robberies commit
