from there, and. turning to Jim, told

This was done. Bob ran up the street
and Jim helped him to mount. I then
called to Pitts to help me get Miller up
on my horse, it being my intention to
carry him before me On lifting him up
we ysaw he was dead. so l told Pitts to
lay him down and to run up the street
out of range, and l would take him up

rode. Pitts ran up the street about a

STORY OF THE ROBBERY.
The Raid on the Mortified Bank as 1t
Was Told by Younger.

A few years ago Cole Younger told
the story of the Mortified bank rob
berry. After telling how the gang reach

said:
Just at this time someone across the
street shouted, Robbers in the bank. /

pistol into the air to let those at the
bridge know that the alarm was given
At this moment a man came uD to the
bank and then started to run away,
whereupon Miller drew his pistol down
on him and cried out: 'Stop, or I'll Kill

of the bank, Jim stopping in front of
the hank.

SIX BULLETS IN HIS BODY.
After His Release Jifn's Old Wounds
Gave Him Much Trouble.

Jim Younger has lived most of his life
with six bullets in his body. One is lodged
under the spine in the middle of the back,
and another is at the terminus lcs the
spinal column. Two bullets that struck
him on either shoulder from the rear,
found a resting place somewhere in his
chest, and a fifth is in the right groin.
His right hand contains part of the con-
tents of shell from a shotgun. Durins
all his prison life he suffered no serious in
conveniences from these wounds, but soon
after his release, while riding near North
Branch MINI, his buggy became entangled
in weeds and Jim got out to free the
vehicle While thus entangled his horse
started and he was caught between the
wheels and the box of the wagon. Before
he could stop the horse he was painfully
bruised in the back, near where one OF
the bullets is lodged. He thought nothing
of the incident at the time, but the injury
assumed serious proportions and paralysis
of the limbs manifested itself.
It was urged at the time of Younger S
parole. by the friends of the bandit and
members of the prison board. That the
employment of riding over unbroken land
in the country to peddle tombstones was
too harsh work after his many years of
sedentary life.

CHANGE IT'S ROUTE.
Rock Island Will Shorten Its z. c.
st. Louis Line.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 2e.-When the
Chicago. Rock Island s. Pacific railway
bought the St. Louis, Kansas city Il
Colorado line it was supposed that the
cid survey would be followed into Kan
sas City If it had been the grading
would have been nearly completed by
this time.
But the Rock Island is trying to make
an air line from the crossing of the
Usage river into Kansas City and to do
that has been working leisurely on
what construction is under way now.
When it bought the road it was in
operation from st. Louis to Belle, a new

part OF Benton county, through YER
sailles and Eldon But that meant
route that had good many curves and
ore which il continued in the same gen
eraI direction would have reached the
state line fifty miles south of Kansas
City It meant a longer route than the
Rock Island people considered neces-
sary.
They want the shortest line to st.
I.ouis possible. Local business is a sec
ondary consideration. The through
business between St. Louis and Kansas
City with the lines that center here was
what the Rock Island was after and
the whole summer has been spent sur
veying different routes from the Usage
river to Kansas City and arranging
right of way matters. Every mile of
road covered means the use OF a certain
amount of steam and machinery and
the loss of some time. 1t costs more In
the first place to build a direct line and
tunnel the big hills or make long fills
in the depression, but in the end it
saves time and cost of operation.
1t is now stated that the road to be
built is several miles shorter than the
one originally planned and it will take
six months longer to get into Kansas
City than was expected Besides until
all of its terminal arrangements are
completed the Rock Island does not pro-
pose to show its hand by coming into
the city on its own tracks. AS NJ. A

James Younger was the youngest of
three brothers. Robert, Coleman and

Jesse James was charged with innu-
merable robberies of banks and railroad
trains in execution of which many des-
perate encounters took place, and a
number of men were killed. The mem
