Kansas City,1 Nov, 8.—Jack "Quail
Hunter" Kennedy, who wasltfhot in a
train robbery'at Wittenberg early to
day has won lor himself a place In the
history of S^laaourl banditry,
Kennedy was an actlv*ar^fn robber
26 years, ago. He was to the Mis
souri penitentiary in 1900, sentenced
to Berve 17 years for participation in
the robbery of a train near Macomb,
Mo., a few miles south of Springfield,
the night of January 8, 1899.
It was the night of January 29,
1898, that Kennody won his title of
"Quail Hunter." The night was slip
pery. A woman saw a horse slip and
fall throwing the rider to the street
where he lay unconscious. She notified
police and the man was found to be
Jack Kennedy,
In Kennedy's possession were a
black mask, set of false whiskers, red
lantern, rifle, revolver and ammuni
tion, When Kennedy' recovered con
sciousness aqd was asked why lie was
so equipped, he replied, nonchalantly,
"why, I'm going quail hunting."
He was released for lack of evi
dence. At other times In 1898 Kennedy
was arrested In connection with train
robberies, but his alibi Invariably was,
he was "going quail hunting."/
