DEATH CLAIMED
FRANK JAMES
Was One OF the Leaders Of the Most
Notorious Band Of Robbers in
History Of the Country.
(By Associated Press)

Excelsior Springs, Mo-, Feb. 10
Frank James, one of the last suryiy'
ing members of the notorious James
gang, died on his farm near here
Thursday afternoon. James, who was
"A years old, had been in i'll health
several months and was stricken with
apoplexy early yesterday.
One Of the last members OF a no.
torious robber band whose unparal-
leled career of crime during the war
between the States and the unsettled
period that followed kept the people
of a dozen States in terror, Frank
James had been living the life OF a
quiet farmer for more than thirty
years.
The son of a minister, respected
throughout the community, Frank
James Joined Quantrelle's guerillas
in the war between the States, to-
gether with his brother Jesse, and
took part in the sacking of Lawrence,
Kan.
When the war came to an end they
were hunted far and wide by rela-
tiyes of those who had met death at
their hands.
Were Driven to Become Outlaws.
Driven here and there, they soon
became outlaws. Many notorious
crimes of the decade following the
war have been laid at the door of
the James-Younger gang, OF which
the surviving members were Frank
James and Cole Younger, the latter
of whom is now living at Lees Sum-
nit, Mo. Among these deeds were:
The raid on the Commercial Bank
at Liberty, Mo-, in 1866. One bank
defender was killed and $4,000 was
stolen.
Looting of the RussellvilIe (KyD
bank in 1868 for $4,000.
Bank robbery at Gallatin, Mo-, in
1868, in which the cashier, Captain
John w. Sheets, was murdered.
Robbery of bank at Columbia,
KY, in which r. A. G. Martin, the
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1915-02-19

and gone back home with empty
wagons and bettered bank accounts,
or at most carrying home only those
things they could not raise in the
county.
Last year Runnels County import
ed hogs; this year 1t supplied its own
needs and exported a surplus. One
groceryman in the county seat bought
5000 worth OF butter from one farmer,
who also raised large Cotton crop,
which he looked upon as a secondary
consideration. There are several
! produce exporters in the county; one
reported that he had paid $42,643.10
to Runnels County farmers for their
chickens, eggs and poultry. He said
some of the farmers made theiE poul-
try pay the family grocery bills and
yield a surplus of clear profit.
"The poultry industry is now well
recognized as an important source Of
income. Its value for the past year
was conservatlvely estimated at near
~ a quarter OF a million dollars, for
fully half that much was realized
from what was exported after the
county supplied its own needs.
This county, so we learned, has
a large number Of farmers who
utilized the services of the Texas In
dustrial Congress, getting information
from it, particularly as to the growth
of forage crops. Four prizes were
won in the forage crop contest of the
congress last year by farmers OF the
county. Grayson Wiley of Ballinger
last year produced 5000 pounds of
feterita on one acre, which not only
won a prize in the congress contest,
but was the largest yield of feterita
ever secured in Texas, so far as the
records go.
Does this kind Of farming pay?
Records of crops raised show the av-
erage profit of the four prize winners
in Runnels County for 1914 was 1876
per acre. 1t is particularly interest
ing to note that this is seven times
the assessed valuation of the average
acre of land in RunneIs County Prob.
ably the acres on which the prize
crops were grown are more valuable
than the average, but at any rate the
profit per acre has been shown to be
greater than the cost per acre. That
we consider a remarkable and de-
sirable result of this kind of farming"

Because Of a contagious in

you are asked, by the Board of
Education and teachers, to take
particular care of your children,
to see that all such cases are
properly treated. Pupils afilic-
ted with these infectious sores
will be sent home from school
unless proper treatment is given.
We are taking this initiative in
order that many children may
not be likewise afflicted. A doc

cleanliness will work wonders.
