the Capture.
Marshal Markey Rtc,tes an Incl
dent Which Occurred in the
Early Days In Missouri.

An excellent feature was disclosed
today in connection with the pioneer
days of two well known Marion coun-
Ity residents. when Marshall Markey,
the well known Bowling Green town
ship capitalist, disclosed to a Mirror
reporter an unusual incident, when he
and his brother "Jack" Markey were
mistaken for the celebrated outlaws,
Jesse and Frank James
The incident occurred in the village
of Fayette, Howard county. Missouri.
Mr.. Marltey and his brother had been
cutting railroad ties in the northern
part of Howard county. One Satur-
day evening the brothers walked to
Fayette with the intentions of maxi
ing purchases of stationary. Immed-
lately upon their arrival in the viii
lage, they were soon conscious of the
fact that they ,wer, closely watched
The men at that time were twenty
four and twenty-six years of age re-
spectively. Being about the same
build, age and seemingly of the same
description as the James boys, the cit
liens of the town Immediately con-
cluded that they were surely the fam
Gus outlaws.
A United States marshall was at
that time in the village in search of
the outlaws. The Markey brothers
had entered general store and were
purchasing stationary from a tremb-
ling, scared clerk when a posse of men
with drawn revolvers entered and
commanded the brothers to throw up
their hands.
II can feel the cold steel of that
pistol barrel in my ear yet" declared
Mr.. Markey today. There was some
hesitancy nthe part of the Markey
brothers, and as result 1t came neaI
costing them their lives. The mar.
shall afterwards told Mr.. Markey that
so sure was he that they were tho
outlaws. he came near shooting wheT
they failed to throw up their hands
at the first command
After the supposed outlaws were in
duced to throw up their hands, thu
authorities searched their POCKETS an,

James boys He visited us in the
prison and Immediately saw the mis-
take. On the following Monday
morning the authorities dismissed the
prisoners, but not until after they
we're fully satisfied of their mistake.
"rhe entire community was
wild the night we were arrested !"
declared Mr.. Markey. The news
spread like wildfire that the great
outlaws had been captured and
the United States marshall was re-
ceiving congratulations from all
parts of the country, for his glori-
Gus capture. He had even planned
how he would spend the $4,000 re-
ward money, so certain was he
that we were the right fellows.
particular feature of the event
was that after the dismissal, n
young attorney who was at that
time a penniless lawyer in the vii.
lage. called upon the mistaken
outlaws and informed them that
they could secured heavy damages
against the county. That attorney
was none other than the famous
senator Clark of Missouri.
"Despile the earnest argument
of the young attorney. we didn't
start law suit. for we had had
'nough trouble for cne time" de-
ciared one of the brothers. today.
After this story has been divugled
Mr.. Markey will write the Missouri
senator a letter. in which he will
enclose the clipping OF the story.
lt will undoubtedly recall to the
senator's mind. many fond recol--
'ections of his initial year in the
practice of law.
The Markey brothers are we'll
known throughout Marion county
and their many acquaintance will
read with great interest the de

Traitorous Blow to Missouri

The spectacle of Hon. Champ
Clark, Democratic Congressman
from the Ninth District of Mis-
souri, opposing a tariff on zinc ore
before the Committee on Ways
and Means last week ought to be
a salutary lesson to the people of
Missouri as to the folly Of Demo-
cratic policies and the disloyalty
Of a Democratic Representative to
their own people. The Demo-
cratic party is opposed to a pro-
tective tariff, whether it is needed
or not. Hon. Champ Clark in
dealing this traitorous blow to
the miners of southwestern Mis-
souri, was doubtless making a
grandstand play to advance his
own personal interests. He wants
so be leader of the Democratic
minority i'll Congress and he
doubtless figured that by taking
this fool stand against the pro-
tective tariff he would advertise
himself and boost his chances for
the honor he seeks. AT any rate,
he insulted and snubbed the rep
resentatiye Committee of Mis-
souri, miners, insinuating that
they were trying to get money out
Of the federal treasury to recoup
their losses in the mining bust
ness, impugning their sincerity in
saying that they needed any pro-
lection and implying that the
mining business in south west
Missouri didn't amount to much
anyway.
We notice that Mr.. Clark Is
wiling enough to dig into the
federal treasury for the benefit OF
his own district. He has for years
been appealing to Congress fol
big appropriations for the i'm
proyement of the Missouri and
other rivers in his district. A
more persistant medicant for gov
ernment aid than the Hon. Champ
would be hard to find in a days
ride. But his appeals have beer
80 melodramatic and unousiness-
like that he has not been very
successful in obtaining federal
protection for his district from the
raging floods. In all probability
he would be begging yet but fol

CHAMP CLARK A FOE
Missourian Leads in Fight
Against Protection of a
Missouri Industry

Champ Clark, Democratic rep
resentative from the Ninth Mis-
souri, District broke all presidents
in the Ways and Means Com
mittee of last Wednesday and led
the fight against the protection of
an industry located in his own
State by making a series of vic
ious attacks on the delee alton of
zinc producers from the Missouri =
K ansas district, when they asked
that the cheap zinc mined by peon
labor in Mexico be made to pay a
duty. Though a large number of
mines in the district are unable
to operate today because of the
importations from Mexico, he
insisted that they did not nee d
protection, and that ''the whole
row." is simply a fight between
the smelters and the producer.
1t would be difficult to imagin G
the indignation of the delegation
from Joplin after the hearing had
closed. The Democrats in the
delegation were especially
aroused over his attitude and con-
demned it as unpatriotic.
During the last campaign
Clark spoke at Nevada and there
favored free trade but did not
mention zinc. Thomas Hackney
who ran for Congress against
Charles H. Morgan, the Republic
can nominee, said that he could
get the assistance of Democratic
members of Congress to help Sc
cure the tariff. He was not here
today. Instead Phil Campbell +,
Republican member from Kansa )
was on hand and did everything
in his power to help, while tn e
Democratic members of the Way S
and Means Committee spent thei :
energy in trying to show that tn c
tariff should not be imposed
Chairman Payne, on the other
hand asked the delegation to
speak further Friday, and Repre-
sentative Boutell, of Illinois, said
to him, so that all could hear, tina t

ating" so far held by the COM
