How Goy. Burbank Lost the Watch Which Jesse James Wore. The robbery of the Missouri Paci fic train, on which Stone other well known Missourians were passengers by a lone bandit, reminds some Springtield man of the rience of Gov. with a stage Gov. ar expe- Barbank of Indiana robber. Burbank was 2 brother-in-law of Oliver P. Mor ton, and got the title of governor by serving a term as territorial nor of Dakota. It will be remembered that when Jesse James was killed he wore a watch that bore the engraved name of Gov. Burbank of Indiana. Mr. Burbank some time ago, told the relator of the story how he lost the watch. It was taken by a highwayman who held upa a stage coach. That was before Hot Springs, Ark, had a railway, and visitors made an overland trip to reach the place. “Young man,” said Gov. Burbank, “never say what you are going to do when youare held up. I made a mis- take that way. ‘There were six men of us and a women in the Hot Springs stage. We had been warned that road agents might tackle us. All us men fixed ourselves and we had it all arranged how we were going to slay « whole gavg of robbers.

Obeying a highwayman comes as natural as winking. After Jesse James was killed the gold watch found on the body was sent by express to Gov. Burbank. The name cut in the back part of the case by territorial officers of Dakota, who had given it to the gov- ernor, had never been erased. After Forty Years. Washington, D. C.
