RENEW THE ATTEMPT OF
TWO YEARS AGO
IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE
Bill viii Be Introduced to Enable
the Famous Convicts to Secure
Their Release on
Parole.

SALTWATER, Nov. 17-(special)-
1t has been stated here on good authority
that another effort will be made at the
coming session CT the legislature to pass
q bill that will enable Cole and James
Younger to secure their release from
prison on parole. Some of these who
fought for a similar bill two years ago
without success are going to try it
again Next Tuesday the Youngers will
have completed twenty-four years as
convicts at the prison, and during all Of
that time they have not violated a single
rule of the institution. It is argued by
those who are interesting themselves in
their behalf that the Youngers have been
| model prisoners, and have earned some
consideration from the people Of this
state, especially when it is known that
so many lifers have been liberated from
prison, who have not served one-half of
tWenty-four years. The Youngers are
growing: old, and it is understood to be
their desire, if liberated from prison, to
go back to their boyhood home in Mis-
souri,, there to spend their remaining
years. AS prisoners the Youngers are in
a way remarkable men. They try to do
everything and more than is expected of
-thems and unlike many convicts, never
have an unlxind word for anybody. Even
when the bill was defeated two years
ago, which, If passed. would have given
them their release, both accepted the IN
eVitable, and, in speaking of the matter
to officers Of the prison, said they hadn't
an unktnd word to say against any
body, not even those who had worked
the hardest against the bill
The legality of the forfeited land saIa
conducted by the auditors of the several
counties OF this state last spring is to
be tested by st. Paul real estate dealer,
who will bring action in the district
court of this county to Quiet title to a
large amount of land purchased on the
shores of White Bear lake at Wildwood
Many or those who purchased lands at
the sale above have not yet put their
deeds on record preferring to wait until
ihey ascertain whether or not their title
is good.
