In the southern confederacy the same

DIME NOVEL HEROES

bers were none other than Lou and Hans
Kelihan. we'll known boys in this city fell
like thunderbolt. and their parents, who
are reputable people. are prostrated by the
announcement. Hans. the dead one, has

and persuaded Lou to go with him, say
ing he had position for him. The printed
portraits leave no doubt of the identity
of the boys. Lou has been considered a
trustworthy lad and was held in high
esteem. The father. John Kelihan and ].
D. Wilson, his brother-in-law, have gone
to Blue Earth City to see him.
The boys left here two weeks ago pre-
sumably to visit relatives. The crime was
undoubtedly plotted here. The dead rob-
ber is believed to have been the main con-
spirator and the murderer of the two men
in the Sherburne bank. The reading Of
dime novels is believed to have been the
cause of the crime.

consideration. In the face of the in
dubitable proof that she had been almost
lifelong resident of Frederick town,
only those who are aotuated by jealousy,

tempt to deny her. AS to the incident
described in Whittier's lines, 1t is agreed
that it is a myth. The bulk of the evil
dencs proves that the Confederate troops
did not march near her house on that
momentous day of Sept. 13, 1859. How
ever, she was goodly dame, loyal to the
backbone, to claim relationship with
whom would be an honor. Though the
Confederate troops did not fire upon her
house, yet all through the war, it is said,
the stars and stripes futtered Loyalty
from the little dormer window of the
colonial residence on Patrick street.
The root OF these dissenting arguments
can be traced to the very city of Freder-
ick, in which she bad spent nine-tenths
of her life. The reason for this may DO

met many eminently respectable citizens
of the city who trenohantly asserted that
resided there or in its environs. They
secuted the story of her heroic deed-a
pure fabrication, mere myth. One very
brave man admitted that 1t was his sister
who waved the flag out of the window
as the troops marched by the house. This
sister, he maintained, lived on the same
street as Dame Barbara, offering an easy
explanation for the confounding of the
incident. So stolidly did he insist upon
the truth of his story that he took me to
his quaint colonial cottage and triumph

bearing the marks of many bullets.
While the old gentleman no doubt was
sincere, his story would have sounded
more convincing had the flag not been
of comparatively recent years. 1t con-
tanned thirty eight stars. The inference
is clearly logical.
After a series of interviews with the
older inhabitants Of Frederick, reached
the conclusion that the denial of the
woman who has made the town famous
in the history of the world was due to
two things-ignoranoe and jealousy.
Curious as it may seem, many Of the old
men and women are insanely jealous of
Whittier's war heroine. The fame be-
queathed her by the Quaker's lines is
the envy of many good old soul
Among the younger generation of Fred
