here on the steamer Dirigo present
dark side Of Klondyke life. They say
that Dawson Is crowded with idle
men, who are willing to work for most

there are hundreds of men who have
nothing but beans and bacon to eat,

Jack Kennedy Is probably the most stoical
criminal that has ever boastcd that Missouri IL
the state OF his nativity. When not under the
influence OF liquor he Is taciturn TO degree up
preaching moroseness. He *, apparently, u
shrewd, fnr-seeing man, and the last that q
stranger would stamp rs q daring train robber
who has on numerous occasions during the past
ten years taken his life In the palm OF his hand
He was born In jackson county, near Kansas
City, and from his earliest days after the power
Of reasoning came TO him the James boys and
the Youngers have been his ideals Of all that IL
brave and manly. II reports Of his life are true
he Is worthy successor Of those celebrated
knights Of the road and II was amid their homes
that he Is credited with plotting his first crime
Since the summer OF 1876 there have been
nearly dozen trains held up In the vicinity OF
Kansas City and Kennedy was suspected OF
having had u hand In each one OF them. He
was three times arrested and Us many times de-
clared not guilty by juries, the trials being no.
torious for the charges that witnesses for him
perjured themselves and that juries were
bribed. In December, 1897. he was arrested on
the charge Of having murdered Miss Emma
Schumacher ut her grocery store In Kansas City.
After lying In Jail several months Kennedy was
released on bond. This accusation Is still pend
ing against him. although he has never been
tried.
