career Of Ehese des1eradoes, who we're cap

brigade which, toward the end of the war,

the Ruerillas who infested those parts, the
elder of the James and Younger brothers
being members of these bands, says these
bands Of Quantrell, West and Ander-
son conducted their operations in
the mcst baEberous and ferocious style and
entirely st variance with the principles of
civilized warfare. He says: They
granted no quarter to their prisoners and
their malice did not even end with the
death OF those unfortunate enough 70 fall
into their hands, whom they mutiIated in
the most frightful manner. The younger
of the brothers was companion Of his
brothers during part of this time, be-
lieYe. Since the war and until their incar-
ceration they lived lives Of robbery and
bloodshed aud nothing else. I don't know
how many they killed themselves, and their
gang killed. know. scores If not hun
