the funeral arrangements. MISS
Younger placed her arms about
Coles neck as he entered the door, and
her means were the only audible sounds
for few moments. Cole simply caress-
ing her, while Jim looked sadly out the
window across Lake st. Croix. The
young woman has not given way to vio-
lent demonstrations of grief, but her mo-
mentS are passed largely in walking
restiessly to and flo with dry eyes, and
uttering low means. The brothers feel
the loss as keenly, though Coles grief
is more evident to an ordinary observer
than is Jim'S. The latter saws nothing
regarding the death unless questioned,
and goes
ABOUT HIS DUTIES
as usual, except more softly, and with
less attention to his surroundings. In
the afternoon ex-Gov. Marshall came
over from t. Paul to offer sympathy
and assistance, and it was at meeting
him that Cole, for the first time, broke
down. The brothers, Miss Younger
and Gov. Marshall afterward spent
much time together In the library, after
which the latter returned to st. Paul
to arrange some matters connected with
the arrival and transfer there of Bob's
remains to-day. The body was removed
at 10 o'clock yesterday from the prison
to the undertaker's, where it was en-
balmed, and will be returned
to the prison by noon, the
brothers requesting that they
might see Bob's face again be-
fore the remains are taken away.
AT 2:30 o'clock simple funeral services
will be held in the matrOn's reception
room, at which will be present Chap
lains Albert and Murphy, Cole, jim,
Miss Younger, some of the prison Off
Gals and few invited friends. Miss
Younger will start at $3.50 over the
Omaha road, en- route with the remains
for Lees Summit, Mo-, fifteen miles
from Kansas City, where Bob's body
will be laid beside that Of his mother.
Col. BrOnaugh, of Kansas City, has
less he shall arrive to accompany her,
the sister will make the journey alone
with her dead. At 9 O'Clock on the
evening of BOb's death Deputy Westby
ENTERED THE ROOM,
and at sight of so good a friend the
dying man smiled and frightened and
attempted to speak, at length managing
to whisper that he wanted the officer to
remain little longer until The end,
perhaps an hour, he said. Deputy
Westby stationed himself at one side,
whereupon Bob motoned that he must
sit in his sight. There were present
only the Youngers, the deputy and
Matron Cayon, and the minutes passed
silently, except for the rapid reSpira-
ton of the patient and an occasional
word from him indicating the space
he expected yet to live. Five min
utes before he died he whispered
that the end had come, and as he
breathed his last the sister bent over
the bed and tenderly closed his eyes.
1t is fact that Bob'S death has spread
a feeling of sadness all through the
prison, from officials to prisoners.
Former and present officials say that
never in all the years Of his impriSOn-
ment had he uttered an Internationally
word, or done mean act. Steward Ben
ner says: HE was bOokkeeper in my
office two years and half, and | never
heard him utter diSrespectful word of
any one; believe, too, that it was i'm
possible for that man to tell an I'M
truth" Bob never had used intoxicat-
ing liquors, and
PRoFANE OR OBSCENE
language disguSted him Immediately.
TO GLOBE reporter Cole said recently
that the exact date of Bob's nativity
was little indefinite, owing to diver
gence of timepieces at the time of his
birth. There was in progress during
the latter part of October. 1866, in jack
son county, near the Youngers' home,
big Presbyterian meeting, and on the
evening of the 29th three of the minis
tiers were Hospitality quartered at the
Youngers.' While the preachers and
Col Younger were talking in one part
of the house the announcement was
made that in another part of the dwell
ing Mrs. Younger had just presented
her husband with son. There was an
immediate looking at watches, but the
preachers timepiece and the colonel's
family clock differed by such num-
Der of minutes as to make it a matter of
uncertainty whether Bob was born just
before midnight or had come along
with the first minutes of new day. 1t
was not until after Bob came to Still
water that he definitely decided to call
Oct. 30 the anniversary of his birth.
Another incident connected with that
birthnight determined the infants
name. The preachers present then
were Revs. Bob Sloan, Bob Rennick
and Albert Moore, and the latter had a
son
NAMED BOB:
so it was decided to christen the child
Bob, and simply Bob became his bap-
