Yery Complimentary Deserip-
ton Of Them.
The three Missouri bandits aud cut
throats, Cole, Jim and Bob Younger
made their last appearance IN St. Paul
Yesterdav-at least it is hoped that we
may ne+er look upon their ugly mugs
again. Sheriff Barton Of Rre county,
assisted by his son and Atssrs J. II.
Pa-sen and Thomas Floyd, accompanied
the convicted scoundret D the state
prison, where they have hssp sentenced
o. IoInaIu To- eOIItoisss4.s
the unhung carcasses reached Ihe lower
level at about eleven O'Clock, where
considerable crowd of people had assem-
bled to take last or first look at the
Missouri criminals who have created such
a sensation in Minnesota since the 7th
day of September last Cole and Bob
were shaczlcd together and occupied one
seat, while opposite to and facing them
sat the genial jim, who for safety was
chained to the son of sheriff Barton. On
! the next seat in front were the beautI-
ful and gentle sister" of the bandits,
and their aunt, Mrs. Twyman,
who will take leave of the three precious
scoundrels when the prison doors close
upon them. A dozen OF two Of citizens,
who never before saw these desperadoes,
were introduced to them by sheriff Bar
ton, and several gentlemen whose jude
ment is
CONSIDERED PRTTY SOUND,
Entirely disagree with the gushing re-
porters, who have described these cut
throats as more than ordinarily brilliant,
intelligent and good looking men. OF
course the visitors had no time TO con-
verse with these conyicts, and hence
their opinions were not influenced by
the sweet tones of their voices or their
insinuating conversation TO ordinary
sinners. They merely looked at the
villains as they sat in their seats, and
they produced the impression that the
Younger brothers, stripped of all sensa-
tiOnal and romantic surroundings, are
what the chief Of police Of st. Louis
declares them to be, simply three low,
cunning, desperate rascals, whose long
career of robbery and murder has stamp
ed their character upon their vicious
and repulsive countenances. Cole Youn-
ger looked around over the spectators
inside and outside the car with an impu-
dent and malignant stare, as if he was
in a bad humor He didn't appear

all that IS worth seeing, is glad 10 retire
to "private life" Nothing Of the sort.
His sinister visage would make good pic
ture of an Italian bandit, or a buccaneer
of the Spanish main, or Partisan thug,
who can be hired for a dollar and half
to murder any man. woman or child.
That's the kind Of a devil Cole Younger
is when he is examined through common
sense spectacles, and aside from any
gushing admiration for his well-proved
shrewdness, personal courage, desperate
daring and eminent success as the lead
ing freebooter of America.
Coles brother, Bob, who was linked to
him by stronger ties than affection, was
the most modest OF the three, and he
kept his head down and declined to in
terest himself in the noise and confusion
around hiw.
Jim, on the other hand, was good
deal like Cole, and glared around with
combination of impudence and audacity
that was not pleasant to see. Those
who studied Coles and Jim's counte-
narce closely made up their minds that
DALLYING WITH HUNGRY TIGER
would be about as safe as to come within
the reach of these infamous cut purses
and cut-throats.
The vealy reporters were also entirely
too fattering in their description of the
personal appearance of the engaging and
heart-broken sister OF these red-handed
murderers. Miss Younger is a passable
looking young female, who was apparent
ly very much interested in all that was
transpiring around her. Her eyes didn't
look as if they had been dropping tears
for the last two months as fast as Ara
bian trees their medical gum. She didn't
look with languishing eyes upon her
erring and unhappy brothers, as if she
wanted to pillow her pallid cheek upon
all their innocent bosoms. On the con-
trary, she
DIDN'T LOOK AT THEd AT ALL,
Nor they at her. She rather locked at |
the crowd inside the car, and then at the
crowd outside, making an occasional re-
mark to her aunt, who was beside her,
and VINO, of the whole halt dozen, really |
possessed the only pleasant, modest
ceuntenance among them, and she alone
exhibited becoming manners under the
circumstances surrounding them yester- |
day.
So the romance is knocked out of all |
this murderous and horrible business. |
Three vulgar and brutal ruffians, every |
one of whom rich deserves a gibbet, have
passed from their reception rooms at
Fairbault-where they have been fat
tered and pampered for weeks, and
where they have received their visitors
with benignity and patronage that was
something royal in its style-to the pen
itentiary in Saltwater. Now let the
warden of the prison see that they are
kept there. The legislature of Minneso-
ia has given these wretches their misera-
BILE lives-and it is hoped that an inse-
cure prison will not give them their lib
erty also.-lSt. Paul Pioneer Pres.
