FROM GUERILLA TO BRIGAND.

From guerilla warfare to down
right brigandage is no great step.
Cole Younger was % years old. yet
he was the leader of the gang, many
of whom were old enough to be his
father. He was leader by virtue of
his strength, his capacity, his dar-
ing. and above all because he was
natural commander.
He organized his band with care.
He planned his raids as a general
plans a battle, leaving nothing to
chance that could be arranged for.
The first raid charged to the
Younger gang was that OF the Clay
County Savings association on Feb
ruarv II. 1866. Two months later
the bank at Liberty. Mo. was rob
bed. and two of the gang, Bill Rey-
nolds and \. p Hayes, We're killed.
In October the Lexington bank was
robbed. and in March, 1867, the
Savannah bank was looted.

men that rode into Richmond, Mo-,

sentence, Bob, the youngest, died
there. Cole. the eldest, is now 81
years old. and Jim i u.
The Younger brothers were not
common border ruffians. They did
not make murder trade They did
notrob that they might riot on their
gains.
Jesse and Frank James We're more
widely known, but when they were in
this band Cole Younger was the lead
err He was the ablest and strongest
minded.
And he was a man He hated MUIR
der, and yet he killed ruthlessly. He
had his own code OF ethics and lived
up to it.
Inclination and his parents intend
ed Cole Younger for a minister. Fate
made him robber.
There is no mystery in their lives.
The father, Henry W. Younger, was
a lawyer of the highest probity He
was county Judge for eight years.
He was twice elected to the leigisla-
ture.
When the war broke out. Judge
Younger was looked upon as one of
the richest men in Missouri. He was
living with his family OF fourteen
children upon large stock farm in
Cass county, near Harrisonville.
During the Kansas Missouri trouh-
les Judge Younger's home was often
attacked by 'jayhawkers" and much
of his property was destroyed. When
war was declared, the border war
fare became more virulent. Judge
Youger lost thirty head of horses and
had three OF his buildings burned i'll
one raid by the Kansas militia under
JennisOn.
1t was following this last attack
that Cole Younger, then II years old,
Joined Quantrell and became q lieu
tenant in his band of guerrillas. In
July, 1862, Judge Younger was as
sassinated near his home and every
thing on his place was carried away
or burned This murder made his
son, Cole Younger, an outlaw. He
suspected certain members OF Jenni-
sons band. He killed every man he
suspected.
Cole Younger remained with Guam
trell until the leader died, and then
he Joined General 10 Shelby's com
mand. Jim Younger Joined his broth
er when he was II and fought during
the last year OF the war.
When hostilities were over, the
Younger brothers returned to their
homes. or rather what had been their
homes They found themselves
Stunned as outlaws. Moreover, they
were without resources. The faith
er's estate had been swallowed up.
Every hand was turned against the
YOuu~ers save those OF few follow
ers who had been through the war
with them.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 1O.-The
state board of pardOus to-day APP
proved the parole application OF
Coleman Younger and James Young
er, who have been in the saltwater
penitentiary for the last twenty five
years for completely in the Northfield,
Mimi, bank robbery. They probably
will be confined to the boundaries OF
the county in which the Saltwater
prison is located.
Warden Wolfe telephOned the news
of the parole to the prison and the
Younpers were overwhelmed with Joy
at the news. To Deputy Warden
Glennon who used to play in the old
Comique theater at Kansas City,
Cole Younger said:
"Well, we'll, | tell you feel good.
Why, feel just like a Methodist. A
Methodist, you know. when he feels
good he wants to shake hands with
everybody. feel like shaking hands
with everybody. | haven't got a
grudge against anybody in the world,

James Younger stood by, clasping
and unclasping his hands and smil-
ing in a foolish sort of way, and
echoing his brother We'll! we'll! -
THE PARDON BOARDS STATEMENT.
The following statement, signed by
the members OF the pardon board,
was given out:
Upon principle and judicial au-
thority we are satisfied that chapter
234 of the laws OF 1901 became
law, although not approved by the
governor. We also recognize that 1t
is the exclusive province OF the legis-
lature to extend the parole system to
life convicts and it has done SO, sub
iect to certain conditions and limita-
tons. We are satisfied that the petit
TONERS in the case have, by eXcep-
tionally good conduct i'll prison for
quarter of a century, and the evil
dence they have given OF sincere re-
formation, earned the right to n pa
role if any life prisoner can dose. The
question OF the prOpriety ofeXtending
the parole system to life convlcts Is
not for us, but has been determined
BY the legislature and we are dlspos-
ed to give effect to this declared pur-
pose. The evidence presented estab-
fishes the fact that the prisoners are
entitled to a parole under the pro-
visions of the law. In view OF the
facts we must either consent to their
parole or arbitrarily refuse to give
effect to the act. 1t is doubtful
whether the duty of acting In the
matter of paroling prisoners can con-
stitutionally be imposed by the legis-
lature upon the chief Justice as a
member of the board OF pardons, but
in view of the great Importance OF
the question he has decided not to
raise the question at this time
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS IN PRISON.
The Youugers were sentenced to
the state penitentiary in Minnesota
in the fall of 1876 and have therefore
been confined nearly twenty-five
years. Their prison record is clear.
