TED TO MISSOURI BAR.
Jesse James Went to Night School to
Study Law—is an Honored Cith
zen—Tried and Acquitted of
Train Robbery.
Kansas City, Mo —Jesse James, son
of Jesse James, the Missouri outlaw,
ta now a fullfe«dged lawyer. He
passed a successful examination be
fore the state board of examiners and
has been enrolled in the courts of this
state as an attorney at law.
In a class of 37 Jesse James stood
first. His average in all branches was
$1 per cent
Jesse James is a self-made man. He
was handicapped as few boys are
The son of an outlaw, he was left an
orphan at six years of age, without
money and with a bad same to live
down. Soon after the burial of his
father his mother came (0 Kansas
City and made a living for herself
and her two children by sewing Jesse
went to school until he was 13 yaars
old, when he decided that he was oid
enough to work for his mother. One
Sanday he saw the following adver
tisement in a wewspaper:
“Wanted—An office boy. T. T. Crit-
tenden, Jr.”
Jesse answered the advertisement
the next morning. Twenty other boys
answered it, too, and Jesse was the
youngest of them all. Mr, Crittenden
at his desk looked over the crowd of
boys and beckoned to the smallest of
them.
“What do you wish, my boy? he
asked.
“] want to be your office boy.”
“What i= your name?”
“Jesse James, Jr."
Mr. Crittenden was surprised. He
was the son of T. T. Crittenden, Sr,
governor of Missouri, who offered a
reward of $50,000 for the capture,
dead or alive, of the outlaw, Jesse
James. To get this reward Charley
and Bob Ford killed Jesse James. And
now here was the son of the dead
clerk. He studied at home His
mother was his teacher. After a few
years in the packing house he opened
a cigar store in the county court
house. He wrote a book in defense

bandit asking work of the son of that
governor.
Crittenden hired the boy, and he
testified that he was faithful
A few years later Jesse went to
work in Armour’s packing house as a
of his father, and it was published.
It sold well. When he was 21 years
old he had $700 In the bank, and
owned a cottage ln which his mother
and sister lived Then he opened a
cigar store in the business center of
Kansas City
At this period of his life, when he
was on the road to prosperity and to
an" honored manhood, he was arrested
for the crirge of train robbery. It was
charged that he, with accomplices,
had held up a Missouri Pacific train
and robbed the safe In the express
car of $35,000. It was a dramatic
train robbery, as much 50 a8 was any
of the robberies of ,a similar nature
which bad made his father's name
notorious throughout the world He
was tried, was ably prosecuted, and
was acquitted. But the criminal
charge against him was a serious set
back to his hopes and ambitions. It
had taken all his savings to hire ldw-
yers to defend himself, and the worry
had caused his mother's health to
fall. Soon afterwards she died.
Jesse worked harder than ever at
his business. He had a chance to sell
out, and did so at a good profit. Then
he opened s pawnshop and married
But he wished to be a lawyer, and he
went to the night sessions of the law
school here, and all day long he sat
in his pawn shop reading law. He
graduated with highest honors, bis
preceptors complimenting him. Then
he passed the legal examination re
ferred to in the foregoing.
He has sold out his pawnshop and
opened a law office, and won the first
case in which he appeared in court
This was in defense of a man charged
with the crime of burglary. Jesse re
gards this as a good omen.
Jesse James Is 31 years old. He
is worth $10,000, every dollar of which
be has made by honest, hard work.
He has two children. He lives In his
own house. In all his life he never
tasted whisky or beer or any other
kind of Intogjeating drink. He does
not use toda in any form. He ia
a devoted husband and father. He
has no bad habits. He is scrupulous
ly honest. To men with whom he does

They Mussed Things up Some
But Found Very Little of
Value
Waverly — Three burglaries ev-
idently the work of amatures were
committed last Saturday night, but
the criminals obtained very little to
pay them for the trouble that they
took, :
The first place visited was
Boice's coal yard on Cayuta avenue
just south of the Eric tracks. The
window wasbroken in with a stone,
and the place entered. Nathing of
value was taken, but a number of
papers inthe money drawer were
scattered over the floor. After
leaving this place the parties evi-
dently went to the East Waverly
station, They effected an entrance
but succeeded in getting very little
that would be of any value to
them, The third attempt was on
Harding's store at East Waverly,
A shutter in the rear of the store
was pried open, and the glass
broken. Mrs. Eaton, who lives in
the rooms over the store was
aroused by the noise, and going
out scared the law breakers away.
Who the guilty parties are isas
yet unknown, but from the bungs
ling way ia which they conducted
the enterprise, it seems that they
must be new hands at the business.
FAIR OPENS TONICHT
Waverly—The Odd Fellows fair
will open this evening and if the
preparations are a criterion by

the venture the outcome will cer-
tainly be satisfactory to all con-

lodge have labored hard to make
the fair one of the best that has
ever been held in this section and
they have not failed. The build-
ing erected for the purpose stands
at the foot of Johnson street on
Broad. Its capacity is sufficient to
hold a large crowd. There are a
large number of booths, all deco-
rated with the national colors, and
filled with everything you may
wish to purchase. Five valuable
door prizes will be given away each
evening and the boys’ band has
been engaged to give a concert
nightly.
