Jesse James and his gang nee stop
ped at the house of a poor widow and
ordered dinner while on a plundering
tour through this part of the state.
After the widow had hustled around
and got up the best dinner possible,
she told Jesse she was in great trouble,
that the mortgage on her home was
due that very day and the man would
be there in a few hours to turn her out
if the money was not forthcoming.
The great bandit asked how much the
amount was, and handed her the ST.
800. The man came, received the
money and released the mortgage, but
had not proceeded for on his trip I'M
til he was told to throw up his
hands," and lessee not only took the
81, 800, but all the money and valu-
ables the man had on his person. and
rode away with a contented and hap
ply smile on his face. There were
some good traits about Jesse after all.
