CURIOSITY IS SATED
YOUNGER BROTHERS ATTRACT
BUT LITTLE ATTENTION ON
SALTWATER STREETS
WILL MAKE ST. PAUL A VISIT
Men Enjoy Their First Day of Lib
erty in a Very Quiet and
UneVentful
Way.

SALTWATER, Mimi, July 15.-(Spe-
cial )-There has been little excitement
today in the lives of Cole and jim
Younger. The boys were down town sew
eral times, but the heat was little more
than they could tolerate and they re-
manned quiet most of the day in their
comfortable quarters at the prison. jim
Younger took a little drive out into the
country, and Cole made trip to the
city hospital. where he was an interested
spectator during an operation
Frank H. Whittier, state agent for the
employment of paroled convicts, arrived
at the prison late last night and spent
about an hour this morning with the
Youngers in reviewing and discussing the
several offers Of employment made them.
There were fourteen applications for
their services, but some of them were of
such a nature that they were laid aside
without even moments consideration.
They were offers of work that would
necessarily attract considerable atten-
ton to the Youngers and the men them
selves said that they wouldn't do 1t Is
ascertained beyond question that no
agreement as to their future employ
ment has been arrived at, and the pre-
sumption is strong that they will not en-
gage in any kind of labor until the first
of next month. BY that time they will
have accustomed themselves to life on
the outside and will be ready to enter
upon their duties.
During the interim the Youngers will
be permitted to enjoy themselves in va
rious ways. They have had an offer to
visit the northern part of the state for
a weeks outing, but they prefer the
quiet of saltwater and the opportunity
to meet and mingle with their friends.
They will be permitted to visit the sum
mer resorts near Saltwater, and will go
to ST. Paul in the course Of a day or two,
Just to see the sights In a big city and
to meet their friends there.
WANTS TO SEE GREEN FIELDS.
Cole Younger intended to go to Wild
wood for a trip Sunday evening, but said
that he guessed he had seen enough for
enc day, and concluded to remain In his
room. This evening he expects to take
a drive to Withrow with the resident
prison physician. He is anxious to take
a peep at grazing cattle and horses and
the growing fields.
Last night for the first time in twenty
five years the Youngers slept in a regu-
lation bed, and both said that they slept
as soundly as logs, Notwithstanding the
heated temperature. This morning for
the first time they were not compelled to
go through the regulation routine duties
required of convicts, and Cole admitted
that it seemed little bit strange.
The Youngers have received a number
of invitations from their friends in this
city to call at their homes. and they will
accept as many of the invitations as pos
sible during the time they remain in the
city.
A feature in connection with the
Youngers that was quite noticeable today
was that they could walk around on the
streets without attracting much atten-
ton. People would look at them and
shake hands with them, but the rabble
did not follow them as on Sunday
when they first came down town.
PAROLES ARE RECEIVED.
Whatever formality may have been
lacking in the parole of the Younger
brothers has now been supplied, the Of
fetal warrant bearing the signatures Of
the three members of the state board of
pardons having been forwarded from the
Office of the governor to Warden Wolfer
about noon yesterday. For the present
the brothers will continue to make their
home at the administration building Of
the prison and will take their meals with
the officers. During the day time they
will be permitted to go outside just
about as they please, although the war
den will continue to exercise an advisory
influence upon their movements as long
as they remain there. Speaking of this
situation yesterday Frank A. Whittier,
state employment agent of the prison.
said:
I'VE have not yet selected occupations
for the Youngers, and it is a matter
which will not be hastily settled. l think
it is perhaps just as well that they should
gradually become used to their freedom
before they are put to work, particularly
while this severely warm weather con,
tinues. think, too that it is better
that the public should by degrees become
used to their being at large and that
this curiosity which is felt concerning
them should be allowed to die out to
some extent before they are altogether
turned loose.
'They have been invited to go on fish,
ing trip to the northern part of the state.
