What He May be and What He May
Not be.
He and His Brothers Viewed as They
Have Been Known In Wyoming.
An DESTINATIONS Arrest.

out the day as had the capture OF
Packer OF Mosier. The feeling toward
him differed in one important respect,
however, and that was that the alleged
crime of Young excited little interest
and no expression of horror. The ar
rest aroused a great deal Of curiosity on
the part of Young's friends and a C
quaintances, of whom he has a good
many in the city. Some doubt having
been expressed of the correctness of
statements made in regard to his his
tory, a reporter made inquiries among
people who knew the Young brothers.
One gentleman, when approached on
the subject, said:
"That was a terrible story told in
this mornings papers about these men.
| Why, there's q list of. crimes set down
to Clabe that would make n believe
that he was a low ruhian and bowling
desperate of the meanest type. j
wonder where all those stories came
from so quick. L suspect that some
one connected with the arrest wanted
to make out that he had done a great
thing.
"As to my knowledge of Clabe, 1t is
only slight, but what is Of it is not
against him. 1 have stopped at Mrs.
Castles road ranch, at Sand creek,
whe Clabe was there. He had some
cattle and boarded with her. People
might have talked, as they do every
where, but she was making a living by
boarding travellers, and by her ranch,
her grown up boys were with her, and
Glade, while looking after his cattle
and other property, boarded there.
That was the situation; some people
can make bad out Of it If they want to.
Regarding Clsbe's crime, L notice
that it was committed in 1873. Why,
that was FIVE years ago. He couldn't
have been wanted very bad if that
length of time had gone by and moth
ing done by the authorities. l tell you
lively times could be had in these terri
tories if we went back five or ten years
to wake up all the loose indictments
made against men in Texas to scare
them out of the state. Clabe has been
here in Wyoming several years. His
reputation, so far as l have heard, has
not been that of a rowdy.
~ know Bill Young somewhat bet
ter than ClaIe. L know absolutely
nothing against Bill, though, Of course,
L have not been an Intimate. His
reputation on the range, where he is
one OF the best known men, is that OF
a superior cow man, a hard worker,
and a man all through. he generally
comes here to Cheyenne and spends a
few weeks In the winter. he never
drank a drop OF liquor OF any l in
his life. He doesn't even drink tea or
coffee. L have been with him for days
at a time n a TESTIFY tina he Is M
OF natures gentlemen IN speech n
manner. he Is regarded with great
admiration by the cowboys, n bias
plenty OF fast friends. He has been
paying attentions to an estimable
young lady In Cheyenne. 1t is said
that he is in hiding now. Why, he has
been in this country for i've years.
What brings these things up nowY"
One OF the DC time police force was
met and asked about the Young boys,
II don't know Clabe, but l do know
Bill. He ZONES to town winters, and
is a quiet and civil spoken man."
Clabe Young was seen yesterday
morning just as he was brought into
the sheriff's room from the ballroom.
His feet were ~shackled, but his hands
we're as yet free. When he was asked
about his trouble, he said:
u can't say Pm in trouble. They
can never bring me out guilty of muir
Why, II L was guilty of murder,
ioyou think l would live for years in
one neighborhood, with my brothers,
under our OWN manner No, sir. L ex-
pect to snake n with my friends in
Cheyenne in about two months. 1
lived a straight life here for years,
that's in. my favor"
Mrs. Castle, who was staying with
scquaintances In this city, was called
yesterday and asked about the
Young boys, and about her relations
with Clabe. Mrs. Castle is a small,
lark woman Of forty to forty-ive years
If age. h was in great distress and
Is she talked cried in q Subdued way
