Fair Association was robbed of its DAVIS
receipts. This was followed by the hold
ing up Of the Malvern and Hot Springs
stages in January, 1874 Then they at
tempted another train robbery at Gad's
Hill, on the Iron Mountain railway, They
drove the population of the village, about
twenty in number, into the freight room
and locked them up, placing one of their
number, with a revolver in hand, on
guard. The train was tagged, all of the
passengers robbed and the express ccm-
pany's safe was rifled.
The Youngers and Jameses then sepa.
rated for awhile, as heavy rewards were
offered for the outlaws. Detectives were
put upon their trail A party went to the
home of the Youngers where they were
believed to be. The Youngers learned of
1t, and awaited for them in ambush They
made the detectives throw up their hands
and throw their pistols into the road One
of the detectives, a man named LulI. had
two pistols, however, and retained one.
with which he shot John Younger, who
died almost instantly. But as John fen
he fired and wounded Lull fatally The
other two Youngers attempted to kill the
other two detectives. One of them was
killed, but the other escaped.
Many attempts were made to CAPTURE
the bandits, and several battles were
fought between the detectives and the out
laws. At times the detectives were hunt
ers and then again would be hunted. In
these, however, the James boys were the
chief objects of the detectives work, and
the Youngers. were able to avoid contact
with them. In a raid on the James house
their mother was wounded and their it,
tie half-Drother was killed.
In December, 1875, two parties were or
gained for robbery. One, consisting of
Jesse James, Bob Younger and James
Younger, killed the switchman at Muncie.

press safe of $4,000. Another party, con-
sisting OF Cole Younger, Frank James and

The country then became TOO hot for the
bandits and the Jamese hid in Tennessee
But afterward they returned to Missouri
and with the three Youngers, Charles

ing 1880.
