and her daughter. Miss Susie, captive ana
carried them to st. Joseph. where they
were detained in Jail for several months.
Another stirring event occurred when
five Pnkerton detectives. the sherlH ol

At this moment one of the party making
the attack threw the hand grenade INTO

followed gave unmistakable evidence that
the james boys were not the only outlaws
in these parts at that moment. When
