FRANK JAMES, THE BANDIT- His Story «¢ a Plot toCapture Linceia and of» Mule Battalion. Danville, Ky., Merch 17.—The writer bas just had an interesting} talk with « wellknown Kentueky banker recently arrited from New Orleans, where he met aud conversed with the famous retired outlaw, Frank James. The banker, while in the Crescent City, wae the guest of the well-known firm of Martin, Thompson & Co, the most extensive mule traders in the South. James is related in some way to one of the members of the firm, and it was in this way that the banker was thrown in contact witk him. James, he says, has the appearance of a plain, ordi nary looking basiness meu. He dresses modestly, yet neatly, and refers to his past career with great reluctance He has not aged much, and his cold, steel gray eye is as penetrating now as it was when he rode unmolested aud sprexd terror through the very mention of his name. He says that he has been lied about in a very reckless manner. and that few of the deeds attributed to him in the so-called “Life of the James Boys” are authentic. One evening the banker succeeded in getting James to talk about him self, and after the famous ex outlaw had entertained him awhile with scraps from bis past history the banker asked: “Mr. Jamea, were you really ever scared? I mean, in any of the close places in your career, did your cour age ever leave you?” “Well, yes,” replied James; “and very frequently I worked a bi- bluff when I was pretty badly frightened, |@pposite me and I fancied that I jcoutd hear a burried conversation in whispers. I felt sure that I had been di-covered, and did aot know exactly | whet to do. “A few of the horsemen started in |the direetion of me. and then the jold mule I was on madea noise. This was « signal fora charge, and the entire company etarted after me like a flash. I drove the spure into my mule and went keadlong into the | darkaess determined to give them a |raece. Not a word wes said and not ashot was fired, but I felt that I waa iu atight place, and prepared jto sell my life dearly “The party followed me and ap peared to be spreading out and sur rounding me, leaving me no avenue I saw that as long as I was riding my mule I gave my pur suers au indicatioa of my where aboute, avd thought that if I dis mounted I might steal off in the bushes afoot und hide. I halted, and one of the pursuers passed within 25 yard- of me _ I peered through the darkness. but could not see what sort of a mau the rider was Just theu wy old mule brayed, and then the whule woods were apparently alive with braying mules. The whole company of supposed horsemen rushed in the direction of my mule, ind I was soon surrounded by a yang of young mules, There was ot a rider npon any of the animals. “They were the mules I had left at the barn, aud had followed their ‘leader,’ which I had appropriated. How in the world they ever tracked me I don’t know, but I suppose some one versed in muleology can explain the phenomenon. I never felt so cheap in all my life, but was of escape. I can assure you. I haye had assvai ated with me men that wore the Most arrant cowards you ever saw, and yet they could put ona bold front, and intimidate the most cour- ag-ous. Courage frequently consists in making the other fellow belev you are the better man “But to return to your ques:on I was pretty badly scared oue night near Columbia, Tenn. It was during Jesse, one or two of the Bipoys and I were working our way ’ northward to join Quantrell, who was hatching a plan to goto Wash ‘ington City and there capture Presi dent Lincoln. We were traveling by night altogether, and before reaching Columbia, Tenn., separated, iu order to lessen the possibility of capture, ‘he war. compelled to sit down and take a hearty laugh over the ridiculousness of the situation. This is as close as I ever came to being scared.” A Sound Liyer Makes v Well Man.

When Tarrived at Columbia I found my se!f minus a horse, as the one I bad been riding for several days was pegged out completely, and I was forced to look around for a better mount. During the early part of the night I looked through several stables, but coifld find no horse, and finally I came toa shed containing alot of mules.

Ashe was going over the edge Coates grabbed a wall plate with his right hand and hung to it, his body being suspended at a height of 100 feet. Coates’ fellow workmen were paralized with fright and two of them fainted. Others soon re covered their senses and set about to rescue him. All this time Coates was crying out to those in sound of bis yoice to save him In the course of a few seconds the horror watchers the bridge below saw a man appear at the wirdow and behind kim several others. The first comer leaned far out until it seemed as if he would tumble headlong from the hole, but strong hands a stout rope around him held him securely while he reached out and grasped the man hanging from the wall plate aud succeeded in getting Lim to the wiu- dow ledge. Then with an almost superhuman effort both men were dragged through the window by the | rescuers inside.
