posted in the details Of the county south Of
the Missouri river. He Va supposed to b.
leader Of the gang Of robbers.
He WAS ONE OF EoUR l101HKRs,
Who are under suspicion Of belonging to the
gang, and several signi6cans facss lead to Tie
infeEence that the whole gang y In that
neighborhood. One Of the facts i, that ~.
eral persons Who vent from there just before
the Gad's Hill affair, returned lev days A.
tervards with plenty of money and new
heres, vastly better than the ones they took
away. Another fact i that each of these
persons, whenever . stranger approaches
him, Immediately draws out his tiseol and
places himself on the decisive. q u relat-
ed Of one Of the Youpgels that he was recent.

DRAWING HIS REVOLVER,
lacked out of the barber shop and vsnt
away. During that night . gentleman VI
Rolla, who hsprened to Be concealed, saw
or heard two peFeons meet, and n be learned
from their conversation, BY appointment.
One was to receive money from the ether,
and the latter expressed his regret at not be-
ing able to give him more, saying: He
did not get ss much ut Gsd's Hill - he ex-
pecsed." The gentleman recognized the
one who made that remark a. y person from
st. Clair county. in the neighborhoOd where
the Youngers live.
After the robbery of the Iowa train about
a year ago. followed by the robbing Of the
Chillicothe bank and
THE KANSAS CITY EXPOSITION GATE,
party Of persons pursued the robbers and
coming up with them, were overpoWered
and disarmed. These gentlemen express
very firm belief that these robbers and the
ones who robbed the mail stage in Arkaneas
and the train at Gad's Hill are the same,
and that shortly after the latter affair they
returned to et. Clair county, where they
have renamed ever since.
The nearest telegraph station to the scene
Of the TRACEY Is At Appleton City, over
twenty miles distsnt, which fact
will account for the delay in
forwarding authentic and full particulars.
Daniels, it is believed. was at Rolla about
the time of the Gaa's Hill robbery, and pro-
badly furnished information which led the
detectives in pursuit Of the Younger broth
ers. He was twenty eight years Of age and
single, and is spoken of 10 one of the bravest
and best of men.
NoNEGAw SPRINGS,
near where the fight took place, ia lonely
hamlet in the woods, ten miles from Mon
trose, on the Missouri, Kaneas and Texas
Railway, and twenty miles from Osceolo. il
is in the centre Of . Wild, sparsely settled
section of country, and offered very secure
and almost inaccessible retreat for the Young
ers, who have frequently written letters TO
the press. asking to be let alone. They lave
always gone armed to the teeth, for fear Of
pursuit, and those who have known them
years ago. when they made Independence
and the central portion Of this county their
home, describe them - being - brave -
they are reckless. and give il - their opin-
ion that they will none of them b taken
alive. Cole Younger is the youngest one
of the lot. but he 10 described ss the most
dangerous of all. He IL well-knovn in this
portion Of the county, and the opinion pre-
vails fhSt thia vill h the last that vil1 h.
heard Of them in this section Of the State for
some time to come. They will no doubt
turn Mp in Colorado, Montsns, or on the
Pacific. coast.
Their career has been an eventful one, and
while they may not have been implicated in
half Of the lawless deeds charged against
them, they have done enough to render
their presence in this section Of the State in
and now that Pinkerton has lost
two of his men, one in this vicinity and the
other in St. Clair county, he will not b
likely to give up the chase while there u the
remotest possibility Of their capture.
