The most notorious inmates OF tho
penitentiary at Stulwster, ;Minn. +,
are the Younger brothers. Memory
may recall the fact that they wore
for time connected with the James
boys, but were finally captured after
the famous raid on the bank at North

the paths Of peace within the prison
walls OF castle of the state.
The four Younger brothers, while
mere boys, became members of Guam

the terrors Of Southern Missouri and
the Kansas border during the war.
says the New York Herald. The
proclamation of peace was not rel
ished by these freebooters, and the
restless spirit of adventure and dare
deviltry kept their neighborhood
uneasy for a long time after the close
of the great American conflict
Shortly after the close OF the war the
Younger brothers concluded to move
West toward the mines OF Colorado,
and in pursuance of this intent,
Joined wagon train. For the first
week things went smoothly enough
poker games were finished without
a funeral and whisky kept tongues
oily without precipitating serious de-
bate. This even tenor of way was
unnatural, considering the elements
enlisted in the expedition.
One evening the eldest of the
Younger boys became involved in
spirited discussion with a teamster
and incautiously denominated the
muleteer as a liar. The recipient Of
the compliment whipped out his re-
vOlver. Younger's jaw dropped. for.
strange to say. he was for once d.
vested of his side arms.

cuss without gum" whined the des-
perado. The teamster, with a spirit
of fairness, dropped his aim, and
wheeling around, said: Il advise
you to heal yourself" .
Next morning, when the teamster
had arisen from breakfast and was
leaning on one of his mules, he heard
a voice, and turning about. looked
blandly into the rnuzzle of forty

a leer.
"You wouldn't shoot me like dog,

cool teamster.

matically responded Younger as he
pulled the trigger.
The hammer fell with a slap on
defective cartridge. The next in

out of his saddle holster and put a
bullet through the elder Younger's
