Is this REALLY newsworthy? :) Van Buren Press Argus, Crawford County, Arkansas May 7, 1915 Obtained No Sympathy A young man, whose deportment has not always been what it should be, tried to get in the limelight about 8 o’clock last night by going to one or two drug stores and asked for some kind of poison, as he wanted to kill himself. Of course he failed to get the poison and he concluded to go through the motion to see how much excitement he could create. About eight last night he was found lying near the Washington Street ditch with an empty bottle carefully placed on his breast and when a few gathered around him, he appeared to be suffering greatly, but he was brought to Main Street where an examination of his mouth by a physician revealed the fact that he had not taken any poison. He was given an enema, however, and by the time he recovered from the effects, he was ready to go home, and he appeared on the streets this morning as usual.

Van Buren Argus, February 26, 1915 Frank James of outlaw fame, died at his home near Excelsior Springs, Mo., yesterday afternoon, aged 70 years. James had been in ill health for the past four or five years, but his death was due to apoplexy. Cole Younger, who now resides at Lees Summit, Mo., is the only member of the famous James-Younger band of outlaws that is left. Frank James, shortly after his brother, Jesse, was shot and killed by Bob Ford in his home in St. Joseph, Mo., in 1882, walked into the office of Governor Marmaduke at Jefferson City, Mo., handed the governor his two pistols and surrendered, thus ending the 18 years' chase the Pinkerton detectives, federal marshals and civil officers had indulged in after these noted and well known band robbers and murderer. Frank James, after his surrender, was taken to Kearney, Mo., where he was held in jail for fully a year, charged with bank robbery and murder. he was finally acquitted and then began his successful fight against being extradited to Michigan, where the Younger brothers had been convicted of murder and were serving life sentences. After the last charge against Frank James had been dismissed in the Missouri courts, he, with his family, located in Nevada, Mo., where Colonel Bronaugh, of Henry County, Missouri, had purchased and furnished a handsome five room cottage and deed it to Frank James. After a few years residence there, James moved to Texas, later to Oklahoma and finally to St. Louis, where for years he was employed as ticket taker in a cheap theater.

I think you underestimate these older people (who are my family and loved ones). It took alot of brains to stay alive in an area like that a hundred years ago, with no real health care, no pain relievers, no stores to go buy tools.... they pretty much had to be smart to stay alive. Some couldn't read, but most could. I believe that Arkansas had one of the first newspapers in the new country. bj fivesquirrels@sbcglobal.net wrote:I think that's because so many of them couldn't read to know when they crossed the State Line. ----- Original Message ----- From: "bj berrykeeper" To: Sent: Monday, July 28, 2003 7:18 PM Subject: Re: [ARKANSAS] I Apologize! > And they used to be the same place.... > > fivesquirrels@sbcglobal.net wrote:Yes, let us know if you do get an Oklahoma Newspaper List.
