man fired upon them from a sorghum patch, put a bullet through Jesse James' right lung and routed the party. This practically ended his career as a bushwhacker. His companions hid him away and one Nat. Tigue nursed him for a considerable time.
It was a long time until Jesse was able to be in the saddle again. In February, 1865, in the rear of Lexington, when coming in with some others to surrender, he was fired on by a detachment of Federals belong- ing to the Second Wisconsin Cavalry and again shot through the right lung. From this wound he did not recover for many months. He was nursed by his comrades, then by his aunt, Mrs. West, in Kansas City, and at last taken by his sister. Miss Susie, to Rulo, Nebraska, where the Samnel family had been banished the previous summer by order of the Federal military commanders in this quarter. At Rulo, Doctor Samuels was making a precarious living in the practice of his profession-medi- cine-and here the young guerrilla lay until in August, 1865, when the family returned to their Clay County farm. Jesse united with the Bap- tist Church sometime in 1868.
When, as is alleged, the James brothers entered upon their life of brigandage and robbery, their associates were those of the old guerrilla days and it is but true to say that this life succeeded to or was born of the old bushwhacking career. Not every old Confederate bushwhacker became a bandit, for many of the most desperate of Quantrell's, Todd's and Anderson's men became quiet, reputable citizens, but at the first every bandit in western Missouri was an ex-guerrilla.
After the Gallatin bank robbery the civil authorities of this county began the chase after the now noted brothers and kept it up for years, or until Jesse was killed in April, 1882, and Frank surrendered. The pursuit was considered by each Clay County sheriff as a part of his regular duties and transmitted the same as the books and papers of his office to his successor.
Lack of space forbids an enumeration of the many adventures of the officers of this county in their efforts to capture the James boys and their partners. One fact must be borne in mind. Every sheriff worked faith- fully and bravely to discharge his duties. The heroic and desperate fight near the Samuel residence between the intrepid Capt. John S. Thomason and his brave young son, Oscar, and the two brothers, when the Captain's horse was killed ; the night fight made by Capt. John S. Grooms; the many
253
HISTORY OF CLAY COUNTY
expeditions by night and day in season and out of season, by Thomason, Grooms, Patton and Timberlake can not here be detailed, interesting as the incidents thereof may be.
Connected with the career of the bandit brothers, may be briefly mentioned the attempt of Pinkerton's detectives to effect their capture- an attempt blunderingly and brutally made and ignominously failing, re- sulting in the killing of little Archie Peyton Samuel, the tearing off of Mrs. Samuel's right arm, the wounding of other members of the family, and the complete discomfiture of the attacking party of detectives. Whether or not, either or both of the James boys and another member of the band participated in this melee and whether or not one of the detectives was killed, can not here be stated.
The murder of Daniel Askew, the nearest neighbor of Doctor Samuel, which occurred a few weeks after Pinkerton's raid, has always been at- tributed to one or both of the James brothers, though the charge is stoutly denied by their friends. Askew was called out one night and shot dead on his doorstep. A detective named J. W. Whicher, who, as he himself avowed, came to this county to plan in some way the capture of the brothers, was taken across the Missouri River into Jackson County and killed by somebody in Jackson County, March 10, 1874.
That any considerable portion of the people of the county ever gave aid or comfort or countenance to the bandits who infested Missouri, whether the James boys, or who ever they were, is so preposterously untrue that there is no real necessity for its denial. Not one person in one hundred of the people of the county knew either of the James boys by sight and but few more had ever seen them. After they entered upon their career of brigandage their visits to the county were so unfrequent and unseasonable and so brief that only the very fewest saw them, and it was not long ere those who once knew them intimately would not have known them had they met them face to face in open day ; for from smooth- faced boys they were growing to bearded men and no change is more complete than that from adolescence to manhood.
Moreover, it is most absurd and most unjust, too, that any consider- able number such as lived in the county of Clay should be supposed to have any sympathy with villainy and villains of any sort. The county is and has now been for years full of school houses and churches and abounding with Christian men and women who fear God and keep His command-

ments, and keep themselves aloof from evil associations. Morality and love of the right are the rule among our people; immorality and vicious- ness the exception.
That the James boys had a few confederates in Clay County is barely possible. Who they were, however, can now never be known. It is prob- able that if they existed at all they were few in number and their services and the character of their connection unimportant and unconspicuous.
CHAPTER XXIV.
THE WORLD WAR.
PRESIDENT WILSON-AMERICAN .PATRIOTISM-SUMMARY OF WAR-PERSONNEL OF LOCAL DRAFT BOARD-ROSTER OF SOLDIERS AND SAILORS FROM CLAY COUNTY-NECROLOGY-HONOR ROLL OF GOLD STARS-AMERICAN EFFORT IN THE WORLD WAR-ACHIEVEMENTS OF AMERICAN TROOPS.
President Wilson, in his speech before Congress on April 6, 1918, used these eloquent and forceful words that found spontaneous response in the true patriotism of America:
"Let everything that we say, my fellow countrymen, everything that we henceforth plan and accomplish, ring true to this response till the majesty and might of our concerted power shall fill the thought and utterly defeat the force of those who flout and misprize what we honor and hold dear.
"Germany has once said that force, and force alone, shall decide whether justice and peace shall reign in the affairs of men, whether right as America conceives it, and dominion, as she conceives, shall determine the destinies of mankind.
"There is therefore but one response for us; force, force to the utmost, force without stint or limit, the righteous and triumphant force which will make the law of the world, and cast every selfish dominion down in the dust."
It may not be amiss to state here that Clay County has no German citizens, but a goodly number of American citizens of German birth or parentage. As a class, they are frugal, saving, prosperous and honest, withall good livers.
Before our entrance to the great war, most of them were in sympathy with Germany, and such were not neutral. Germany's great propaganda,
256
HISTORY OF CLAY COUNTY
in which over $100,000,000 were spent, was insidious. The effect of many publications like "The Fatherland" had little to say in favor of their government, or of their institutions, but in practically every line eulogized, praised and upheld the institutions and theories of the German Empire, in direct opposition to American principles and institutions. But with the unfurling of Old Glory from the housetops, their hearts beat true, and they at once sprang to action, and responded as a class to every call. If there were reservations in the minds of a few, the number was indeed small, and existed largely in the minds of the suspicious.
By reason of the peculiar situation of this class of our citizens, the editor feels called upon to pay this short tribute. We are Americans, regardless of the route each has traveled to become one. We are one in love of home and country. The names of our boys who toiled, suffered and bled in Flanders field are confined to no nationality. Each is a true American.
"About his brow the laurel and the bay Was often wreathed-on this our Memory dwells- Upon whose bier in reverence today We lay these imortelles.
His was a vital, virile, warrior soul;
If force were needed, he exalted force ; Unswerving as the pole star to the pole,
He held his righteous course.
He smote at wrong, if he believed it wrong.
As did the Knight, with stainless Accolade ;
He stood for right, unfalteringly strong, Forever unafraid.
With somewhat of the Savant and the Sage, He was, when all is said and sung A
Man, The flower imperishable of his valiant Age,
A true American."

HISTORY OF CLAY COUNTY
Early Monday morning, November 11, 1918, the news was flashed throughout the country that the armistice had been signed. A treaty of peace had been signed and our boys are returning to their homes. The material is not at hand to give more than the names of those who gave their services to their country. We are not able to give the promotions or special deeds of valor for our boys, for any attempt so to do, with the meager information at hand would be unjust to many.
Summary.
From "Statistical Summary of the War with Germany" prepared by Col. Leonard P. Ayres authorized by the War Department is extracted the following, which, of course, is of interest to our readers:
Among each 100 Americans five took up arms in defense of the country.
During the Civil War ten out of every 100 inhabitants of the North- ern states served as soldiers or sailors. In that struggle 2,400,000 men served in the Northern army and the navy.
Between April 6, 1917, and November 11, 1918, when the armistice went into effect 4,800,000 men constituted our land and naval forces. Yet a force proportional to that put forth by the North during the Civil War would have produced nearly 10,000,000 American fighting men.
The British sent to France in their first year of the war more men than did the United States in the first twelve months. On the other hand, it took England three years to reach a strength of 2,000,000 men in France, while the United States was able to place that number across the seas in one-half that time.
The organization of an immense army as that of the United States, its equipment and transportation across the ocean has never been equaled in the history of the world.
Two out of every three American soldiers who reached France took part in battle. The number that reached France was 2,084,000 and of these 1,300,000 were engaged at the front.
American divisions were in battle for 200 days and engaged in thirteen major operations from the middle of August until the armistice.
The American divisions held during the greater part of the time a front longer than that held by the British in October. The American divisions held 101 miles of line or 23 per cent of the entire western front.
258
HISTORY OF CLAY COUNTY
In the battle of Saint Mihiel 550,000 Americans were engaged, as compared with 100,000 on the North side in the battle of Gettysburg.
The artillery fired more than 1,000,000 shells in four hours, which is the most intense concentration of artillery fire recorded in the history of the world.
The Meuse-Argonne battle lasted forty-seven days, during which 1,200,000 American troops were engaged.
During the period of hostilities two out of every 100 American sol- diers were killed or died of disease. The total battle death of all nations in this war was greater than the total of all the deaths of all the wars in the previous 100 years.
For every man killed in battle seven were wounded.
Five out of every six men sent to hospitals on account of wounds were cured and returned to duty.
In the expeditionary forces battle deaths were twice as many as death from disease.
The number of American lives lost was 122,500, of which about 10,000 were in the navy and the rest in the army and marines attached to it.
The war cost of America was $21,850,000,000, or approximately $1,000,000 an hour. The greatest number of men sent over seas in a single month was 306,000 and the largest returned home in a single month at the time of the report was 333,000.
The supplies shipped from the United States to France was 7,500,000 tons in nineteen months.
The registration of men for the draft was 24,234,021 and of these 2,810,296 were inducted into service. The largest number inducted into the service in a single month was 400,000.
