of the details of Merriam's rescue

Dicky had caught the word and
wept.
"Oh. don't drown my Merry dear

Ricky had attacked her kind aunt.

the three of them and fastened to

HOUSE FALLEN INTO DECAY
historical Society BaIks at
Plan to Preserve Place
I of Bandits Death.
By DALE 8. RENO.
Iuternst tional News Service.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Aug. 19.--
Fame is tickle even to bandit.
Nor does the fact that he may
have risen to the highest pin
nacle in banditry's Hall of Fame
save him from inevitable oblivion
In popular interest.
At least no historical society
has yet come forward to save
the house, now rapidly falling into
ruins, in which Jesse James, king
Of "bad men," met death at the
hands Of his betrayer, Bob Ford.
on April 8, 1882.
Once Point Of Interest.
For years the old house at No.
1918. Lafayette street was annually
visited by hundreds Of curious
visitors, who stood with eyes and
mouth open In wonder as the elo.
quent caretaker pointed to the hole
In the east wall where the bullet
from Ford's gun imbedded itself
after snuffing out the life Of the
notorious outlaw.
There was a time. and II has not
been such a great while ago either,
when everyone who had read "The
James Boys in Missouri" and "Cap
Collier" in their youth. wanted
70 see the Jesse James house when
they came TO St. Joseph. To 60
back and tell the folks they had not
seen the old landmark would have
been as much Of a disgrace as to
have gone to Philadelphia on q
"rubber-necking" trip without look.
Ing up Independence Hall.
One was always sure of getting
q vivid account of the killing from
the old caretaker, who would even
admit, II pressed long enough, that
he had witnessed the affair. After
a harangue about the details Of the
shooting the visitors were shown
the old, rusty Colts horse pistols
James had laid on the table while
he stepped on q chair to hang q
picture for Ford's wife.
Then followed the old, yellowed
newspapers, which recounted the
story Of the shooting, several Civ.
ing anecdotes showing the better
side of the famous bank robber.
After that the usual procedure was
The Washington times., 1922-08-20

to sell the now enchanted visitor q

around the bullet hole. a piece of
the picture frame. a rung Of the
chair, or some other bit Of doubt
ful value, at u comparatively fancy
price.
The room In the front part OF
the house is still kept for visitors.
An old plush sofa stands against
the east wall. right under the pic.
ture which was being hung by
James when he was shot down by
his old comrade. In the center of
the room il an old-fashioned cen.
ter table on which rests q pink
globed kerosene lamp. and beside
the lamp lay the two gums placed
there by the bandit when he en-
tered the house.
The house, an old frame build
ing, set among the trees on the
top of a bank, still looks Just as
one would expect a bandit kings
home to look. A few hundred yards
to the south high bluffs loom.
while all around the house the un.
paved, little-traveled streets seem
to recall the old stage coach
routes. There are but one or two
houses in plain view Of the cottage,
and these are far enough away to
bear out the idea of seclusion.
Few Visitors Now.
But there are few visitors to the
old, Jesse James landmark now.
The house has not been paint
ed since the bandit was killed.
Boards. bare and rotting, win
dow lights out and a crumbiing
foundation are the only outward
sign of a landmark that once lured
its thousands. The few who do oc-
casionally seek out the old place
are no longer curious, take little
interest in the relics still offered
for sale and generally leave with a
disappointed "Humphr'
Two years ago there was an agita-
ton for preserving the old house
for its historical value, but when
