enough to be present last evening at the
nomination OF officers will long remember
the excellent musical treat afforded them

The promise OF similar efforts in this line
ought certainly to be an inducement to
more regular attendance OF the members.

people who were shooting from win
dOws and dOOrways. Frank James may
have been one of these messengers, and
it might have happened that he reached
the bank door just as Hayward tried
to get his gun Any of the robbers who
saw such a move would instantly have
killed the man. In his recent account
of the raid Cole Younger stated that
several times he ran into the bank TO
urge the others to hurry, and he made
no mention of any of the others on the
outside performing this service
Younger, however, with stern loyal
ty. has never even admitted that the
James boys were in the raid If his
freedom from life Imprisonment could
be gained tomorrow by making an in
eliminating admission against Frank
James he would not make it, although
he and the James boys parted in an
ger while fleeing from their pursuers-
Jesse James wanted him to desert his
brother Jim, who had been shot to
pieces. but Cole refused, and the James
boys went one way and the Youngers
another. Frank James has thousands
of friends ready to stand between him
and Minnesota justice, but none more
loyal than Cole and Jim Younger.

sprung out of bed and had come into
his fathers room to find, as he first
thought, two drunken soldiers scuffling
III the darkness.
Il called to him: Hold that Snans
hand; get that knife but the major
reached around me from behind and
got his hands on the assassin's Shout
ders, so as to push him along through
the hall door. The assassin came
against the woodwork of the door, and
thereby regained a firm footing. AS
quick as lightning he freed himself
from my grasp, and gave Major Sc
ward several Stabs about the head and
shoulders. He bounded down the stairs.
Mr. Hansel, a messenger in the state
department. was running down the
stairs to get help. The fellow overlook

of the front door like a rocket, leaped
into his saddle, and, striking his spurs

long and sharp, his chin is strong, his
neck is thin, his mOustache is quite
gray and droops mournfully. His lips
are thin and .bloodless, and the corners
of his mouth droOp like his moustache.
He is ungainly looking, all except his
eyes, and when you talk to Frank
James you forget everything in watch
ing his eyes. They look straight at you
and never seem TO blink or CULVER.
They are queer eyes, set close together,
and very small, and blush gray in
color. Jesse James had the same eyes,
and his young son also has them, and
so has the 22-year-Old boy of Frank
James. 1t is said that Quantrell would
pick men with that kind of an eye, for
with him it meant men with nerve
without nerves.
Frank James is not bothered by the
recent developments in Minnesota.
Perhaps he knows that he is innocent

has gained the respect of thousands of
people in st. Louis by his industry,
modesty and upright way of living, are
considerations which are ignored by
the people intent upon hunting him
down
Just at the moment James is the
guest of Colonel Jack Chinn, at the
latter's Kentucky home. The Stand
ard theatre, at Seventh and Walnut
streets, this city, where James has
been employed as Waterman for the
past several years, is closed for the
summer and James is taxing a brief
rest with the Chinns. He has to earn
some money to keep his little home
going. and Colonel Chinn's son, who is
a race horse starter, has offered him
the job of holding the flag on his
tracks. Thus the greatest outlaw that
ever lived may soon be seen waving
a little piece of bunting as a signal
for the horses to begin the race. 1t is
mild work, but it pays SO a day, and
that will tide the James household over
until the theatrical season opens again.
Mild is the one word that describes
Frank James these days. The only
time that it doesn't fit is when he talks
politics, and then some of the old fire
gets into his voice and eyes-the eyes

and that he can prove it at the right
time. 1t is generally believed that 1t
was Jesse James who fired the shot
that killed Hayward. Frank James,
with Cole and Jim Younger. Clell Mil
Ter and Bill Caldwell did not enter the
bank. These five rode up and down
the main street of Mortified shooting
their guns TO frlghten the townspeople
off the streets. Jesse James, Bob
Younger and Charley Pitts were the
men in the bank. These three are
dead. James was killed by Ford. Bob
Younger died in Saltwater seven years
ago. and Charley Pitts was killed in
the hunt Immediately following the
raid.
Ii was not the intention of the rob-
bs-s in the bank TO kill anyone. but
when the three men were dashing for
the door Jesse James, who was the
last TO leap the counter, saw Hayward
reach for a revolver. With the light
ming speed that made him famous,
James whirled about on the counter
and killed HAYWARD just as his hand
clutched the revolver.
This is the generally accepted story
of the murder 1t is known, however,
that at different times the men on the
outside rushed into the bank beseeching

FRANK. JAMES MAY Be TRIED FOR MURDER.

St. Louis, Aug. Sit would be a
strange freak of justice if Frank
James, the reformed outlaw, were to
be brought to the bar in Minnesota on
the charge of killing Cashier J. L. Hay

historic Mortified raid, ON Sept Z, 1876.
nearly u years ago. If certain Mime
sofa men can have their way, James
will be tried. Those men were the
friends of Hayward, and they have
never forgotten or forgiven his cruel
murder. They were the men who
forced aside the tide of sentiment roll
ing in favor of the Younger brothers
and caused the Minnesota state board
of pardons 10 recently refuse to liber-
ate the two outlaws.
These men argue that Jim and Cole
Younger are where they belong. and
Frank James should be with them.
Neither of the Youngers killed anyone
in Mortified, while Frank James is
credited with the murder of Hayward.
So they feel more bitterly against
James than the Youngers. The fact

abiding citizen for II years, that he

SEVERAL KINDS OF GOLD.

something about the varying values of
the metal will be OF interest. The gold
found in the early fifties, in the Lime
stone Bowlder range (Tuolumne coun-
~, California;, according to an inter-
esting article by Prentice Milford in
Lippincott's Magazine for May, 1871,
was worth 81 and 81 more per ounce
than that dug from other and nearer
localities. Columbia gold brought
nearly $40 an ounce; Stanislaus river

The dust from different camps only a
few miles apart bore many different
valuations. The buyers could tell at a
glance where it was dug. They told
by certain indications in color and in
the shane of the grains. River dust was
fiat and scaly; it was so worn from
having been ground between the roll
ing powders on the bed of the stream
for centuries. Gold from the higher
flats and gulches of the dry diggings
was coarser; the angularities o. the
grains were not entirely worn smooth
Dust from some camps would hold
white sand, others black. Strange dust
was like strange coin. A Tuolumne
county retail provision dealer might be
as much puzzled to fix the proper val
uation on Stanislaus county dust as on
an ancient Hebrew shekel. Each camp
dealt mainly with its own dust: miners
seldom traded outside OF certain bound
aries.

NO DANGER OF CIVIL WAR.
AS the Country Grows, It Will Grow
Homogeneous.

Woodrow Wilson in the July Allan
tic: There is no longer any danger of
civil war. There was a war be-
tween the south and the rest of the
nation because their differences were
removable in no other way. There was
no prospect that slavery, the root of
those differences, would disappear
in the mere process of growth. It
was to be apprehended on the con-
trary, that the very processes of
growth would inevitably lead to the
extension Of slavery and the perpetual
ton of radical social and economic con-
trasts and antagonisms between state
and state, between region and region.
An heroic remedy was the only rem
edy. Slavery being removed the south
is now Joined TO the west" joined
with it in a stage of development, as
a region chiefly agricultural, without
diversified industries, without a null
hilarious trade, without those subtle
extended nerves which come with all
round economic development, and
which make men keenly sensible of the
interests that link the world together,
as it were, into a single community.
But these are lines of difference which
will be effaced by mere growth, which
time will calmly ignore. They make no
boundaries for armies to cross. Tide
water virginia was IluS separated once
from her own population within the
Allegheny valleys-held two jealous
sections within her own limits. Mass
achusetts once knew the sharp diverg
ences of interest and design which sep
arated the coast settlements upon the
bay from the restless pioneers who had
taken up the free lands of her own
western counties. North Carolina was
once a comfortable and Indifferent
east TO the uneasy west" that was
to become Tennessee. Virginia once
seemed old and effete to Kentucky. The
great west" once lay upon the Ohio,
but has since disappeared there, over
laid by the changes which have carried
the conditions of the east 10 the
great lakes and beyond There has
never been a time in our history when
we were without an east" and
west but the fnovel day when we
shall be without them is now in sight.
As the country grows it will inevitably
grow homogeneous. Population willnot
