Frank Glazier, an outside guard at the Jail
where the Younger brothers are confined,

wher Glazicr told him again to halt. The
man put his hand to his breast, as is sup.
posed, to show his star, but Glazier think.
Ing he meant mischief fired, the ball taking
effect in the heart. The dead man proved to
be Henry Kapenrich, night policeman.
TIE State Fair, Notwithstanding the dis
agreeable weather, was largely attended.
The display in live stock, vegetables, fruit
and agricultural implements was the best
ever made in the State, the showing of

ing especially fine.
THE Youngers at Faribault were recently
the recipients of a visit from persons claim.
ing to be Miss Rettie Younger and Mr.. R. s.
Hall, the latter from Jackson County, Mo-,
married to another sister. Miss Kettle is de-
scribed as little below medium height,
slight figure, fair complexion, light brown
hair, comely features, rather prepossessing,
and about nineteen or twenty years of age.
Hall, as he calls himself, is tall, large man,
sandy complexion, short beard and mus
tache, hair almost red, and looks somewhat
like Cole. Kettle claims that she heard of
bad luck while at the seminary in Lexing-
ton, and, bring her brother-in- law into requi-
sition, started for Faribault After dinner
she was allowed an interview. The first one
Kettle saw was Jim, whom she kissed
through the bars, which she followed up by
crying and screaming, saying: ooh, Jim!
this is too bad. II it had not been for Cole
and Bob you would never have been here.
They have enticed you to do this. Oh, my
dear brother! What shall do now? There
is no one to care for me now you are gone.
Oh! what shall do?" Cole seemed uneasy
when he heard that Ret had arrived, and
when she saw him in his cell she only bowed
and shook hands with him, treating Bob in
the same manner. The two latter acknowl-
edged Jim to be the pet of the family, and
have always been anxious about his wounded
condition. The interview was short and un.
satisfactory to the persons admitted.

Faribault has revived the talk of calling upon
Judge Lynch to settle the fate of the rob-
bers. As it now stands, three citizens and
three robbers have been killed since the
fated day when the robber gang rode into
Mortified, and there are . good many peo-
pie in and about Faribault and Mortified,
and other points in the State, too, who rea-
son that If these three persons are allowed
to live much longer the rate of the death
roll will be largely in their favor. This is
the talk in certain quarters, and may not
mean anything more than talk, but it is GER
tain the killing of Kapenrich has given
Judge Lynch renewed popularity as the per-
son to settle such delicate questions.-Spec-
