THE "JEssE JAMES GANG !,

ington That Needs the Attention OF the
Police.
The neighborhood of II street, between
North Capitol and First streets northeast, is
nightly infested by a gang of boys, who call
themselves the Jesse James gang."' Some
of them have frequently figured in the police
annals. They are officered by half grown
youth, who travels under the poetic cognomen
of "Cockeyed Mick" and who has become
terror to almost every boy in Northeast
Washington. The gang lay in wait for school
boys as they are returning from school in the
evening, and rob them in true highwayman
fashion. In one instance they caught boy
and compelled him to hold up his hands
while one of them went through" him and
relieved him of considerable money and
watch and chain. At another time they even
went SO far as to attempt to overpower
driver Of an ii street car and take his money
box. The gang has been broken up several
times by officers of the seventh precinct, who
arrested several of its members, but, like the
democratic party, it appears to "bob up
serenely" after every downfall. ~
