even forgive the dead that had peen

organization, one side of which was
captained by Jennison, Lane ana
Ransom, of Kansas, and Penick, OF
Missouri. the other led by Quantrell,
Anderson the Younger brothers and
the James boys. All but one or the
list that abused the blue are dead.
Three of the latter that rode in any
uniform, but which were Confed-

The Younger brothers, Coleman and

During the summer of this year
was in the house OF a man VINO
threw off his pistols and belt only
after he had rode out of his own
countrv into another, where he Of
fered to take up the cause Oh an
Austrian prince. That renewed his
Americanhood. He said to me the
night in which we talked over the
events. some of which I am about to
give YOU: It's good medicine for
an American who has had a grudge
against his own country, this thlng
of fighting for a foreigner.
