JESSE JAMES SPARED HIM.
The Desperate Might Have Killed
Traitor Stapp, But Only
Warned Him to Move.

Ex-State Auditor Van B. Prather OF
Galena was in Topeka the other day,
and while in conversation with some
old friends the suicide of lobe Stapp,
of Webb City, Mo-, several years ago
was mentioned. This recalled to
Prather a recollection of the suicides
brother, n. B. Stapp, notorious 20 years
ago as Dick Stapp.
For number of years Dick Stapp
lived in the Short creek lead-mining
regions near Galena. Stapp became
notorious in connection with the Jesse
James gang, and lived in CRANKY, Mo-,
where he kept saloon. The James
gang had designed to raid the vaults
of the CRANKY Mining company and
took Stapp into the enterprise. At the
same time they planned the Otterville
train robbery. Stapp weakened at the
last moment, and told the officers of
the plot. Afterward at the trial of the
only one of the Otterville robbers who
was arrested Stapp was the principal
witness for the state, and the man was
sent to the penitentiary. Stapp was
compelled to leave CRANKY by fear of
assassination. He came to Short Creek
and then opened a saloon in Galena.
One night a man wearing blue Cog
giles and SLOUGH hat well down over
his face appeared and called for
drink. 1t was given him, and as he paid
for it he said: "Your name is Dick
Stapp. Do you know who amp"
Il believe do" replied Stapp, at the
same time reaching for pistol behind
the bar.
II am quicker than you are, as you
ought to know" exclaimed the stran-
ger, producing revolver from his over
coat pocket. But l have not come to
shoot you. This is mission of peace.
/ want you to be out of the way when
we give ourselves up to the authorities.
If you are not some of us will put you

stellar work the Dartmouth professor
was lately invited to try if he could de-

observatory. Details of his expert
