Old Bandit Tells of Famous Raid
in Civil War.
I'once City, Okla., Oct. 16,-“Dad”
Hallidsy, a teaming contractor, one of
the few oil field men of the early days
left, has juat returned from Lee's Sum
mit. Mo., where he visited his old-time
friend, Cole Younger, the last remain
ing member of the famous gang of
robbers who were led by the James
hoys.
After serving twenty five years in
the Minnesota State prison, Younger
went to Missouri twelve years ago, and
over two years ago, on the anniversary
of the Lawrence raid, joined the Chris
tian church. Lent with years and
facing a death from which there would
he no escape by a Winchester light, as
in the old days, he told llalliday that
he did not believe he could have lived
his life differently even if he had so
chosen.
According to “Dad" Holliday, Young
er said of himself:
"There was nothing in my life so
I'ventful as my part in the raid on Law
rence during the Civil War. There is
nothing that ever happened that was
so misprinted in literature and in his
tory.
“My father was opposed to the war
and had friends tin both sides, hut was
shot down in cold blood and robbed by
a gang of freebooters as he was driving
home from Kansas City. That day
changed my whole life. It filled my
heart with a lust for vengeance.
“I was nineteen the day we started
from (Backwater. Mo., about 300 strong
the Quantiell hand, I mean. It was
Aug. 26, hsii,'!. I was a lieutenant.
When we reached a hill in sight of
Lawrence we learned from an old hog-
feeder lhat there were ,'IIHJ regular Fed
eral troops in Lawrence and .‘1(H) mili
tiamen. 'They outnumber us two to
one,’ said Quantrell, ‘but we can whip
them.’
“And sure enough, soon we came
upon them. There were no guards, anil
we tore open the lUips of their tents
and killed them as fast as our guns
would work. We lost only four dead
and three wounded.
“We rode through the town and then
rode awHy. Later we fought for twen
ty-four hours with pursuers who had
organised. They followed us until we
were among friends in Missouri.
"That is the truth of the famous raid
on Lawrence, often called the bloodiest
episode of the border warfare between
the Missouri Southerners and the North
erners from Kansas. It started my ca
reer as an outlaw.
"The remaining years of the wur
were busy ones for me and my threo
brothers. Mohs several times were
formed to lynch us, hut each time our
good marksmanship drove away the
would-be lynchers.
“In the early 70's the escapades of
the James hoys in robbing bunks,” said
the old-timer, getting warmed up to
his subject, "attracted nation-wide at
tention, and we got credit for being in
many of these when really we were
hundreds of miles away. They kept ac
cusing uj until they drove us to it.
"We became civil outlaws when four
Chicago detectives attempted to arrest
me and my brothers, Jim, John ami
Hob. We heard the detectives were
coming ami we rode out to meet Ihem.
It took only a little shooting to make
them turn their burses the other way,
ami they rode back to Chicago as fast
as they could.
“The hunt for the Younger Itoys went
on, and to elude the hunters l went to
Florida and lived under an assumed
name. While staying at Jacksonville 1
• pielled a negro riot, and some of my
friends in Missouri tried to get the Leg
islature to pass an amnesty bill, so that
l could come back and not have to face
arrest for escapades during the war,
hut that failed.
"One day while sitting in a hotel 1
overheard a conversation that Con. Hon
Huller of the Union army had taken
back from the South $300,000 in cash
and had it in a hank in Northtield,
Minn. Indignation rose in my rebel
heart; 1 believed it was loot.
“1 sought out Frank and Jesse James
and plans for the robbery were laid.
There were eight in the party.
“A buttle of whiskey kept the rob
bery from bei-ig a success. I didn’t
touch it myself, but Hob did, and the
men under him did. When they walked
into the Northtield Hank they wire
drunk. They disobeyed my instructions
not to shoot to kill, and they took the
life of the cashier of the bank. They
forgot to close the door and were seen
from the street. There was a carnival
in town that day and the streets were
crowded.
“Five of us tried to keep r IT that
crowd while the other three did the rob
bing, but we were hard pressed. Some
one bhw what was going >>n in the hank
and shouted that it was being robbed.
I called to the boys in the bank to come
out, but they were slow and the whole
town was shooting at us before we got
started.
“All of us were hit as we rode away,
but, by jumping from wounded horses
and riding double, we managed to get
out of town. For two weeks we eluded
them, but at last they surro nded some
of us in a swamp between St. James and
Madelia and I saw that the jig was up
for us. The James boys had separated
from us and made their escape success
fully.
“We decided that we could not rur-
render, but that it would be almost sure
death to do what was left to do. We
could wait, however, until the pursuers
were right on top of us, then break
through and try to shoot our way to
safety. Not one of the boys was will
ing to surrender, so we tried this plan.
“The pursuers shot all of us, though,
before we could get through. Ihadelev.
on wounds, and the others were nearly
as bad.
“No three men who ever went into
the Minnesota penitentiary were so
closely watched as we three during the
fi rat year of our terms. Hrother Hob
just wilted away and died.”
"There ore many people who look
upon the Younger boys as desperadoes,
murderers and bad men," concluded
llalliday. “Gun fighters they were, but
no truer men ever lived than those
brothers. I firmly believe that every
one of them would have made a good
citizen if he liud been in normal cir
cumstances. ”
Minister Gives Testimony.
The Rev. C. M. Knighton, Havana,
Fla., writes: “For three months I suf
fered intense pain in kidneys and hack,
which at times laid me un entirely. I ,
read of Foley’s Kidney Pills, and after;
trying various remedies without result. I
I decided to try the Foley treatment. I |
was relieved almost with the tirst dose,
and it is a fact that I used only 11 bot
tles when all of the pains disappeared.

Notes From Western Baptist As
sociation.
Chrintinn Index.
The reports on Christian education, in
cluding ministerial education and pas
toral support, provoked some very in
teresting discussions. The association
has four ministerial students in the
seminary. Two of these are the sons
of Dr. J. S. Hardaway, of the Central
church, Newnan, and a third is W. K.
Fuller, of Moreland. A new student is
to be entered this term. The asso
ciation gave support to Bro. F’uller
last year, and something like $300 was
subscribed by individuals and churches
for his support the current year. The
collection for this purpose was one of
the high points in the session of the as
sociation.
One of the most touching scenes the
writer has witnessed in many years, if
not in his whole life, was the closing
moment of the sission. Bro. J. B.
Ware, who was elected treasurer of
the association for the thirty-ninth time
at this session, and who is in his both
year; Rev. 11. S. Rees, who has been
a prominent figure in the association
for two generations, and he is about
the same age; Bro. John D. Simms, of
Newnan, who is in his Mth year and
never missed a session; and Judge Al-
van I). Freeman, who has passed his
70th mile-post and has for many years
been an honored leader in the associa
tion. upon renuest stood on the plat
form and received the greetings of the
brethren as the parting hand was ex
tended. It was a great pity that
Bro. Levi Ballard, who was present on
the first day but did not return the
second day. was not present to take
his stand with these honored sires of
th® association. Perhaps there are
not in all the country five belter
preserved men, more active, or with
broader vision, than these honored
brethren. They are right abreast of
the times with the youngest men in the
body. They are towers of strength in
the association, and their influence for
good will be greater two generations
from now than it is at present.

A Tribute to the Dog.
Henry Birch.
What can be said of this inestimable
creature that lias not already been
said? The language of panegyric would
bo exhausted before h s excellent fidel
ity, his courage, his vigilance, his grat
itude, his generosity, each the theme
of merited praise, win our love and re
spect. The favorite of edildren. the
chosen companion of women, the watch
and guardian of our homes, tlv guide
of the blind, the participator of man’s
excursions by land anti sea, the de
fender of the shepherd’s fold, the de
tector of the thief and robber, and the
fleet courser that transports the Eski
mo in his sledge over the Arctic wastes
of snow.
If such a benefactor to man has not
a special claim to his protection and
kindness, nay, to affectionate regard,
what has? He ventures life and limb
in our service; he explores the moun
tain-waste and faces the wintry temp
est in search of the traveler that has
been overwhelmed by the snowdrift; he
springs into the foaming torrent to
rescue its threatened victim from de
struction; he breasts the boisterous
surges of the ocean to convey a rope to
the shipwrecked mariner, by which he
achieves their deliverance; he recog
nizes his beloved master after twenty
years’ absence, and expires at his feet
in a paroxysm of joy at his return.
