Cnicaco, March 8.—A special to the Daily News from Kansas City says a passenger who arrived this morning on the Wabash train, relates that while the train was waiting at Moberly Jpnction a sheriff’s officer, worn out alid spattered with mud, ar- rived from the west and told a most remarkable story, which, if true, will cause rejoicing in railroad circles. The officer’ referred to said that Jesse James was captured last night at some point in Kansas—he could not re- member the exact location, Jesse James and a comrade, supposed to be Ed. Miller, weré surrounded in a log cabin in heavy timber. The relator was one of the purauing party. While trying to force an entrance to the cabin from the outside seven of his party were killed and three wounded. James and Miller made a desperate resistance, The fight was brief but bloody. The sherif’s officer claims Ed. Miller was instantly killed and that Jesse James received a large number of bullets and is mortally wounded. The attack was a complete surprise to Jesse James and compan- 10n, but they were 8o “securely barri- caded that the attack was a disastrous one tor the sheriff's posse. An at- tempt is being actively made to corro- borate the statement given above and to obtain fuller particulars. Kansas Ciry, March 8,—The story of the bloody fight with Jesse James in which seven men of a sheriff's posse were kilied, is a fabrication manufactured by an evening paper here. It caused no sensation here, as it was not even an ‘‘able bodied lie.” It was badly crippled. ———— 2 Cuicaco, March 8.—R. W.
