the Youngers to run cigar store in st.
Paul. He ordered schurmeier to leave the
prison to-day.
Said Wo1fer:
II do not own any interests at Hopkins
and have TO motive in locating the
foungers except for their own good and
the best interests or society, ] have not
discussed the place with them, but my I'M
Outstanding with them is that when all the
applications are In We will talk the matter
over and decide which Will be the best for
them. The Youngers have expressed no
preference to work In the Twin Cities oyer
other points. and at this time 1t is impos-
sible FOR me to say where they will be en-
ployed.
