A few days ago I was in St. Paul for a brief stay and, remembering | that Cole and Jim Younger were still | confined in the penitentiary at Still- water, only eighteen miles out, I went out to see them. When I reached the prison I learn- | ed that visitors were allowed to go} through every half hour, but as go- ing through the institution and get- ting perhaps a glance at them would not answer my purpose, I asked the warden for the favor of a personal interview with the Youngers. I found the warden avery pleasant gentleman indeed and when I had explained to him that I was an old Missourian, raised in the same town with these boys, and that my father administered the estate of their fath- er, old Harry Younger, he took me through an iron door into a hallway locking the door behind us. He then unlocked a door to the left and ushered me into a good seized room and remarked toa clerk sitting at a desk: “This gentleman will have an interview with the Youngers.” The warden then disappeared, locking the door again,and the clerk gave mea chair and placed two more directly in front of me. After wait- ing perhaps fitteen minutes the door was again unlocked and Jim Youn- ger came in, followed shortly by Cole. I shook hands with them, re- marking: “This is Jim—and this is Cole,” for I knew instinctively which was which, although I bad not seen thera since I was a httle boy. They are both tall, fine looking men, wit large,bold eyes and a way of looking you square in the face that Timagine might be right em- barrassing under stances. They were dressed in neat suits of gray, put on, I suspect, for the oc- easion. Cole is much the heavier and better preserved and seems to be in reasonable spirits. Jim seems discouraged and has evidently given tp+:-pe. Heé-plainly shows the ef- fect of his wounds and close confine- ment. Large rings under his eyes and his nervous movements show him to be in bad physical condition. “And so you are a son of Captain West.” said Cole. “I remember you when you were a little shaver. Let's see, did you go to school to Steve Elkins at Harrisonville?” “No; I was hardly old enough,but my brother did.” “Well. we went to him—Jim and John and I. They say Steve has got to be a great man now.” , “Yes,” I said, “ne was Jim Blaine’s ‘right band man and is now senator from West Virginia, with a barre! of money.” Here Jim Younger smiled and said: “Well, he never would have been senator if it had not been for me.” “How's that?” “Well, ‘the professor'—you know L always called him ‘professor'—got taugled up in the Confederate lines down in Cass Co., ata very ticklish time and I found him going through the woods on foot, when they were full of bushwhackers who would have killed him on sight.

Of course, | there was nothing todo but to go to work to get it for them, while they wert down to the barn to feed} and care for their horses. They had scarcely got out of sight under the hill when a party of federal soldiers rode up from the east side of the house and made a similar demand. My mother told them that a party of men had already ordered break- fast and that it would be impossible to accommodate any more. “Never mind, madam,” said the leader, ‘“‘we will not trouble you” Wheeling their horses, they rode rapidly back to camp and in a few minutes there came a whole company of the soldiers down on the house like a whirlwind. But in some way the boys had found out what was up and such a briddling and saddling and getting out has seldom been witnessed out- side of Chief Hale's fire department. The bushwhackers got out and, skirtivog around the west side of the house, formed a line in an old corn field just south of the house as if they really meart to give battle. The soldiers turned up to the left and formed a line facing thom. A single horseman rode out from the bushwhackers, waving a white handkerchief. He rode up to with- in a very short distance when drop ping the handkerchief, he drew a revolver and fired three rapid shots at the captain. Wheeling his horse he dashed back safe,although a bun-} dred balls whizzed by and some even passed through his clothes. A general fusillade now ensued, but the bushwhackers, who were greatly outnumbered, soon “skedaddled” to brush, where the soldiers stood as much show to find them as though they had been so many young quails hiding in the grass. I saw this occurrence myself. Al- though I was only a small boy, it made a vivid impression on my mind and I had always understood that the single horseman who had made that daring “grand stand play” was Cole Younger. I now asked him if it was so. With a reminiscent smile he said slowly: “Yes, that was me,” adding innocently, ‘I came pretty near getting shot that time. They all shot at me and toreup my clothes but they did not hit me.” “I suppose I must have seen you both since then,” I said, ‘for you had a great deal of business with my father.” “Yes,” said Jim, “your father bought pretty nearly all our land, but along towards the last we did not go back to Cass county much.

The clerk broke in on our conversation to hand Cole a letter that had already been opened. Cole took the letter from the envelope and began to read: “Dear old Bud and Jim”—you know.” he said, turning to me, “they always called me Bud” “Yee,” I said, “I believe the rule used to be in Missouri that the old- est boy was always entitled to be called Bud.” As the famous bandits moved out through the grated door I could not help thinking that they had county iu the early “703 Ben West. Wants al! Murderers Executed. Topeka, Kan , Nov. 13 —The Rev. Selman Blagden of Boston has j writtea a letter to Governor Morrill, demanding that all murderers in the Kansas penitentiary be executed. “Many hope and pray that you will let the law take its course and have all murderers executed accord ing to the laws of the United States, and all other civilized and Christian countries,” says the reverend gentle- man. “God tells us in the Old Tes- tament that ‘whosvever sheddeth man’s biood by man shall his blood be shed.’ Our Savior confirmed this by stating particularly and emphat- ically that he came not te do away with the law, but to fulfill the law, so that while He saves the guilty souls of all true repentant believers.
