BANDIT THREATEN TO STEAL McCLUNG'S CHILD. Dale Jones, Fugitive From Jus-| tice, Utters Warning in De- mand on Warden for John Shead’s Release. Jefferson “City, .Jan. 12. —The specter of threatened kidnapping hangs over the family of D. C. Mc- Clung, warden of the Missouri peni- tentiary. The threat comes from Dale Jones, companion of John Shead when they overpowered and killed Conductor Sam Queen on a train near Rich Hill, Mo., nearly a year ago. Shead is in prison here, and Jones demands his | release. Jones, the fugitive, who often dis- guises himself as a woman, has been heard from several times since the killing of Queen, but has always slipped through the officers’ hands. “Tf it is the last“thing on earth I do I'll kidnap one of the warden’s chil- dren and demand release of John. Shead,’’ is the threat from Jones. The warning has, been conveyed to Warden McClung through Detective Fitzpatrick, an employee ‘of the Mis- souri Pacific railadad, Jones sent the message to Fitzpatrick, and the latter warned McClung. “fT am not going to worry about this threat,’’ said Warden McClung this morning. ‘‘We often are threat- ened, not our families, but ourselves. If we'stopped to worry over them we would all be gray-haired. But the warden did show a trace of worry and he would not be the father he is if he did not. It is for the youngest child, and only girl—Mary Elizabeth, 18 months old—the McClung family fears. ‘“‘The baby,’’ as they call her. There are four other children, all boys. They are Carl, 21; Whitney, 17; D. C., Jr., 15; Paul 8. At the time of the shooting on the train, the constable who was killed had Jones under arrest for a petty crime. Shead came on the train and} the shooting followed. Both men were arrested and placed in jail. Jones broke jail---and the threat of | kidnapping to obtain the release of his pal followed. Justice Woodson will Run Again Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 12.— Chief Justice A. M. Woodson of the Supreme Court today formally an- nounced his candidacy for the Demo- -cratic nomination for another term on the bench. The nomination will be made next year at the State primary unless the present Assembly should make a change in the method of nominating candidates for judicial positions.

Francis, He was elected in 1892 for six years and- again in 1898 for an- other term of six years.
