DEATH OF FRANK JAMES
Famous Outlaw Charged with Many
Robberies SEQ

st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 1s-Frank
James, IA, one of the last surviving
members of the notorious James gang,
died at his farm near Excelsior
Springs, late yesterday afternoonn.
James had been in i'll health for sew
e-al months and was stricken with ap-
oplexy early yesterday. One or the
last members of notorious robber
band whose unparalleled career of
crime during the civil war and
tile unsettled period that followed
kept the people Of dozen states in
terror, Frank James had been living
the quiet life of farmer for more
than 30 years.
The son of a minister respected
throughout the community. FRANK
James joined Quantrells guerrillas in
the civil war together with his broth
er, Jesse, and took part in the sack
ing of Lawrence, Kan. When the war
came to an end they were hunted FAR
and wide by relatives of those who
had met death at their hands. Driven
here and there they soon became out
laws. Many notorious crimes of the
decade following the war have been
laid at the door of the James-Y ounger
gang of which the surviving members
were Frank James and Cole Younger,
the latter of whom is now living at
Lees Summit, Mo.
Detectives surrounded the James
home near Kearney, Mo-, January 25,
1876, and threw lighted bomb into
the house, thinking to kill the James
brothers. 1t exploded tearing the arm
off their mother and killing their
brother Archie.
Although the James boys participate
ed in hundreds of robheries it Is now
generally believed that there were al
so hundreds OF robberies charged up
to them of which they were innocent.
In 1882. after Jesse James had been
shot and killed in his home in st.
Joseph. Mo-, by Bob Ford, also band
it, for reward of $4,000, Frank
James surrendered in Jefferson City
Mo. He was sentenced to life impris
onment in the penitentiary but after
few years he developed symptoms OF
tuberculosis and was pardoned by the
governor.
