No 76. LEIiAL NOTICES. The Boss Bandit. Legislative MONDAY, FEB. 17.

The senate refused to request the appointment of a standing committee on local legislation. S. C. R. 23 relating to losses by Quantrell's band of guerrillas, was adopted.

S. C. R. 22, relating to the business of the session, on which the vote will be considered a test, the result deciding whether the revision of the truthfulness can be vouched for. He is a citizen of long standing, and has been a member ot a prominent business linn for several years.

The information which has been imparted is likely to cause a sensation in Southeast Missouri the locality where Hildebrand figured so prominently for a number of years. It was thought that he had died some time ago, and the hearthstones that he had rendered desolate were again made to resound with joyous laughter, as of yore. Hildebrand is one of the most notorious outlaws of modern times. Frank Ruude cannot be compared to him. The James and Younger brothers only are his equals, and it is doubtful if they have the courage, the dauntless spirit, the determination or the energy which he commands.

He was born in St. Francois county, near Farmington, about and was raised near the same place. In his youth he was noted for his revengeful nature, and there were many of his companions who had cause to rue the day they had treated him indifferently. At the commencement of the late civil war he joined the Confederate army, and for a time fought in the ranks regular. But not liking the, to him, humdrum life lie had chosen, he changed, joining one of those HORDES OK WILD MEN of the woods, who are appropriately known as guerrillas and bushwhackers.

Sam was one of the worst of men, and his bad passions being uncontrolled, prompted him to commit many unlawful acts. When the war ended he was proscribed as an outlaw and was searched for far and near. Immense rewards were offered for his apprehension, but he was never captured, although at various times the governor called out the militia for the purpose of having him imprisoned. Numerous anecdotes are related of him. In 18G7 the sheriff of Washington county and a posse of men surrounded a house where lie was concealed.

Sam discovered the trap, and drawing his revolver banged away right and left, KILLING ONE MAN and wounding several others, and then opening the door he rushed out, jumped into the saddle of a horse, which an as-tonished granger was leading by the bridlerein, and clapping the. spurs to its sides, he was soon away and out of immediate danger. The pursuing party secured some trophies Sam's hat and his gun. On the stock of the itter were thirty notches, representing thirty men M.K.&T.RY.

Sum Ililrirliranil, the Terror of Southern Missouri, Turns up Again.

He Tell Where the James TJoys Are From the Globe-Deinocrat. Late in the afternoon of the 2d of Feb ruary, a gentleman, whose name need not be mentioned, and who, because of his nativity, shall be known in this story as the Frenchman, might have been seen swimming his horse across a creek in Arkans, between Fort Smith and Little Jtock, in the direction ot the lorraer city, It was nearly dark, and the storm of rain and sleet was bitterly cold. Add to this the fact that the Frenchman was drench ed to the skin, "mi his horse was fatigu ed, and that he was far from any human habitation, and the reader is able to an. preciate his plight. On gaining the shore, he hitched his horse under the sheltering boughs ot a tall cypress tree, and, collecting some iagots, started a tire bv which he intended to cook his supper, AYhile placing some coffee in a pot, he heard his horse neigh slinlly, and rear as if badly scared.

Accompanying these sounds was the steady tramp ot a MAN OR BEAST, and the rustling of the shrubs. The horse's neigh became more shrill, its rearing more violent, and the steady tramp more distinct, turning around, the Frenchman was confronted by a stran 1 -1 1. .1 I- ger, wno, asne approaciieu wuuin speaK. ing distance, called out, "Hello! travel er! can't 1 squat by your fire?" "Certainly," was the answer, and the new-comer, nothing lotn, stretcneu ms benumbed limbs beside the fire, and tak ing out a corn-cob pipe began to smoke, He was rough-looking, rather stout, about forty-five years old, with long, wiry, black untrimmed hair and beared, wore ragged clothes, carried a heavy cudgel, and had a devil-may-care expression on ins some what handsome face. Altogether, he was not, exactly the person whom one would choose tor a companion under any cir cumstances.

The Frenchman shared his meager meal with the guest, and then asked who he was. The man started, looked about him, and then replied slow ly and distinctly: "I AM SAM. HILDEBRAND." "Not Sam. Hildebrand, the outlaw, who has killed so many men?" "Yes, I am Sam. Hildebrand; outlaw ed, if you wish to call it so, but unjust ly." "I know only what I have heard about you, and that is very little, but you are spoken of as one of the most audacious robbers of the age.

Is it so?" 'I'll swear to God that I never com mitted a robbery in my life, and eternal curses on the men who say that i nave As to killing, that's different; I don't deny that I have killed dead loads of men, but I didn't do it lor robbery; it was for revenge." "But you surely do not intend to pursue the course you have taken You do not purpose to do as you nave done "No; I have been revenged, and am satisfied. All that I live for now is to once again see my children in St. Louis I cannot hope for mercy for THE BLOOD-HOUNDS OF THE LAW would not let me alone until I am dead and in my grave. But I don't think they will ever get hold of me. I am determ- ined never to surrender, and I'll die game.

If vou see anvbodv Ionian? for Sam. Ililpebrand, just tell him that Sam. Hil debrand says he'll kill himsclt before he'll let any one make him prisoner; and 1 mean it I'm gettin' old and am worn out, but I'm game to the backbone yet." "You seem to have had a pretty hard time?" "So I have; so I have; a mighty hard time. I've been down in mextco, "keepin' a cattle ranch. I didn't have nothin' when I started that is, nothin' to speak of and when'I got through I owed a lot of money for grub and whiskythe whisky for my wife and the grub for both of us.

You see she was sick, nearly dead all the time from the wound in the side given to her by them peelers that made me leave old lilissou-ri, and she had to be given stuff to keep her nerves all right. But they killed her after all, for she died just as we was crossin' the Rio Grande, comin' home. It was the shot did it, but she died peace, ful like, and the last thing she said was-'Sam, don't kill no and I ain't go-in' to if I can help it not unless they try to kill me." "Who were you with in Mexico?" I saw a heap of fellows I knew, but I didn't have nothin' to do with them. THE BOYS was down there. I tell you they're rattlers for you.

I don't know what they was doin'." "Where are you going to now?" "Little Rock, to see some friends and get help to travel to St. Louis. I've walked most of the way from Mexico, and I guess I'll have to walk to Little Rock. I ain't got much money, neither." By this time it was dark. The rain and sleet had ceased, and as the ground under the cypress trees was only slightly wet, the Frenchman spread out his blankets and prepared to camp out for the night.

He informed Hildebrand that there were suflicient bed-clothes for two, but the latter decided to leave, and bid-ding his companion good-night, he de parted into the woods and was ,803 GUT OK MGHT.

Cornyn, a surgeon in the army, whom he had shot dead, was placed in command of a squad of men and sent to southeast Missouri to hunt for Hilde. brand. The party left St. Louis with a great flourish, and were convinced that they would have no trouble in MAKING THE CAPTURE much wished for. After a sojourn of several weeks in and the ad joining counties, and losing several men, they got scared and came home, but re- tused to acknowledge thai they had been beaten by one man.

Once he stepped into a saloon in New Madrid when that town was placarded with rewards lor his arrest, and calmly asking the crowd ot men who were standing around to drink with him, he said his name was Hildebrand, and would not be refused. Some of the men at tempted to draw their weapons. Seeing them, Hildebrand pulled out a revolver, and, pointing it at his opponents, he dar ed them to move, then slowly backed out of the room. On another occasion he stayed all night nt the house of Mrs. Brown, who treated hira very kindly, but whom he had never seen before.

Mrs. Brown was afterward ill-treated by her husband, who was a farmer. On hearing of this ill-treatment, Hildebrand rode up to mown wliile tlio latter was plowing a corn-field, and B1I0T IIIM DEAD. About three years airo it was renorted that Hildebrand had died in some little town near the Mississippi river, and the news of his death was published in every journal in the country. The rumor was prooaDiy only a ruse ol Jlildebrand, who, shortly before, had declared his intention of going to Texas.
