Texan Claims He
is Jesse James;
Pal Greets Him
OAKLAND, CALIF.—A1 Jennings,
85, the oldtime Oklahoma train rob-
ber, was brought face to face with
a Texan who says he’s Jesse James
—and exclaimed, “It’s him!”
Jennings took one long look at J.
Frank Dalton, or James. His voice
choked and his eyes filled with
tears.
“It’s him,” said Jennings. “That’s
the face. My word of honor.
“Boys, there ain t a bit of doubt
on earth. This here is Jesse
Jamas!”
San Leandro civic officials
brought Dalton here by plane to
feature him in their rodeo. They
invited Jennings, too. Jennings who
took to the lecture circuit after
his imprisonment a generation ago,
makes his home in Southern Cali-
fornia.
Dalton’s story resurrecting the
old outlaw—supposedly long a-mold-
ering in a Missouri grave—first was
made public when Dalton announced
that he was the famous desperado.
Secret Question
Jennings said before the meeting
he could prove whether the old man
was Jesse James by a single ques-
tion dealing with a “shootin’ match”
of long ago on a ranch in West
Texas.
The only person who knew about
that match, he said, were himself,
one other, man—and Jesse James.
As the two met, the eyes of both
filled with tears.
“Do you know me, Jesse?” asked
Jennings.
The other nodded his head Vigor-
ously. His voice broke as he said:
“You bet. You won a shootin’
match on the old C Dot E ranch.”
Jennings grabbed him by the
hand.

Killed By Gang Member
History says Jesse was killed at
St. Joseph, Mo., in April, 1882, by
Bob Ford, a member of his gang.
Dalton says that’s all nonsense,
that the man Ford killed was “a
Pinkerton feller named Charlie Big-
elow,” After the shooting, he de-
cided to disappear.
Jennings said he was frankly
skeptical about the old man “until
I asked old Jesse some questions
nobody but him and me could’ve
knowed.”
The two had a rambunctious re-
union, as their conversation paraded
the ghosts of long gone bandits of
the Southwest.
“We’re a-goin’ right over the
same old trails,” said Al. “Boys,
there ain’t no doubt about this.
This is old Jesse sure.”

Expedition Uncovers Relics
i)f Early Man in California
LITTLE LAKE, CALIF.—Camp-
site remains of California’s Dawn
Man have been discovered two miles
north of Little lake in. Inyo county.
The human bones and arrowheads
found at this “closest approach to a
city” may date as far back as 15,-
000 years.
This uncovering of prime histori-
cal importance has excited arche-
ologist of an expedition from the
Southwest museum. Their direc-
tor, Curator Mark R. Harrington,
says that for the first time “Pinto
Culture” relics have been found in
a positive, original location, undis-
turbed by the elements for more
than 3,000 years.
The camp is on the lava-walled
banks of a long vanished river that
once ran south from glacier-fed
Owens lake. A waterfall was then
nearby, and a commodious lava
cave was used for shelter, centuries
before later-age Piute Indians came
along and etched their own draw-
ings on the dark cavern walls.
“They must have had a good life,”
Harrington said, “for when the
glacier began melting, during either
of the pluvial eras, this was lush,
green, wooded country.”

Victims of Texas City Blast
Sue U. S. for Ninety Million
HOUSTON, TEX. — Uncle Sam
was blamed in the Texas City ex-
plosion to the tune of more than 90
million dollars in lawsuits.
Eight suits totaling $55,208,446 in-
cluding a 50 million dollar claim by
the Monsanto Chemical company,
were received here by the federal
district clerk for transfer to Gal-
veston, where trial of the cases is
scheduled.
Monsanto’s suit alleged the gov-
ernment “had knowledge of the po-
tential hazards” of the ammonium
nitrate, but that it was packed and
shipped from government plants
while “innocently labeled fertiliz-
er.”
The claims seek damages for
deaths, personal injuries, property
damage, reimbursement for insur-
ance payments, recovery of profits
lost by plant destruction and dam-
age and loss of services of techni-
cally trained personnel killed in the
disaster.
Texas City officials listed 512 per-
sona killed or missing in the disas-
ter. An estimated 3,000 were in-
jured.
Similar suits already on file at
Galveston exceed 35 million dol-
lars while an additional $1,068,450
is involved in suits filed at Fort
Worth, Oklahoma City and St.
Louis.
Attorneys predicted the final fig-
ure may exceed the 100 million dol-
lar mark.
A GREAT VICTORY
FOR PROGRESS
Nearly 1,000 Carson county voters went to the polls
Tuesday, Aug. 31, in a special election and voted 539
to 451 to issue $300,000 of bonds for the construction
of a new court house.
In this election a large percentage of the property
owners, who are qualified voters, went to the polls.
This large turnout gave a majority of 88 votes for the
new court house.
Many other qualified voters were for a new court
house, but felt that the building should be erected sev-
eral years in the future. Sentiment showed that Carson
county people feel that the old structure should be
replaced with a new building in keeping with our needs.
I wish to express my deepest thanks to those vol-
unteer workers who took the time to explain the court
house project and urged qualified voters to go to the
polls. It gives great satisfaction to know that volunteers
did so much in assuring this great victory for progress.
