END OF Jim CROW CHILES.

Kansas City Star: The appearance of
the name of Charles Peacock, of Inde-
pendence, on the motion for a special
Judge in the Jesse James case calls to the
minds of old residents of Kansas City one
of the stirring events there during the
guerilla days. For Charles Peacock him.
self, killed Jim Crow Chiles and his son
on the public squar at Independence
twenty-five years ago, and thereby broke
up the gang of bad men who made a
practice for several years after the close
of the civil a of frightening Indeuend-
ence at all hours Of the day or night by
riding around the square and shooting
out windows. These desperadoes were
not always sure of their aim at windows
and it was not uncommon that innocent
b~ystanders were badly hur n occasion
ally killed. There was no organized gang
for this purpose. but certain men seemed
to delight in it.
"Jim Crow" Chiles was a brother Of the
present marshal Of this county. He is
described as a short, thick set man, and
wealthy. He was big-hearted and good
natured when sober, but whisky invaria-
bly, made a fen of him. With whisky In
him he was altogether too handy with his
pistols, of which he always carried two
it was a fashion mem a in those days.
It is old of Chiles that he occasionally
killed a "nigger' in the main street with
out the slightest provocation, just to keep
his hand in.
In 1873 Charles Peacock's father was a
deputy marshal at Independence. He is
now police judge there. One rainy Sun
day Jim Crow Chiles began drinking.
He succeeded so well in getting drunk
that he grew noisy along in the afternoon,
and someone carried word to him that
Marshal Peacock would arrest him. This
heretofore unheardof interference with
his rights as a town bad man angered
Chiles, and he started out to find Pea
cock, announcing as he did SO, that he
would slap his jaws for him. He found
Peacock on the east side of the square,
but he didn't slap him. Peacock told him
he could get as drunk as he pleased so
long as he was quiet about it. but that II
he made q noise he would have to lock
him up. Chiles slapped at Peacock, and
Peacock grappled with him., and they
went down in the gutter. Peacock on top.
The first fight over, Peacock arose. So
did Chiles. Chiles reached for his revolt
vers, but he was o slow, and Peacock
shot him just beneath one of his eyes.
Friends carried Chiles to the hotel, and
he died there a few minutes later.
