Cole, Jim and Bob Younger were
| sent to the penitentiary twenty-five
years ago under life sentences for
murder. Bob has been dead ten years.
Cole Younger now is 81 years old. He
had intended before he entered the
war to become a minister and since
his incarceration he has devoted him
self to a study of theology. Jim
Younger, who is 81 years of age, also
has done much reading in the prison
and the two men are said by the war
den to be the best educated and best
behaved of all the prisoners.
The acts for which the Younger
brothers are serving life sentences
were committed during the robbery of
the Mortified, Mimi, bank Sept. T.,
1876, and during the retreat of the
robbers. Eight men were concerned
in the robbery-Bill Caldwell, by
whom it was suggested; Cole, Jim and
Bob Younger; Jesse and Frank James,
Clell Miller and Frank Pitts. They
killed Cashier Hayward, Nicholas Gus
tafson, a Norwegian who did not I'M
derstand their command to leave the
street, and DR.. Wheeler.
Miller, Chadwell and Pitts were
killed during the fight that followed
the raid; the Youngers, literally rid
died by buckshot and bullets, surren-
dered when they could fight no longer;
Jesse and Frank James left the
Youngers still facing the officers and
posse and fought their way back to
| Missouri
Cole had a rifle ball under his right
eye, which paralyzed the optic nerve.
There was bullet in his thigh, an
other in his chest and eleven other
bullet wounds in all. Eight buckshot
and a rifle ball were taken from Jim's
body. He had an ugly wound in his
shoulder and nearly half his jaw had
been carried away by ball.
| At that time Minnesota had a pecu-
liar law. It provided that any prison
er charged with murder in the first
degree who pleaded guilty could not
be hanged, but must be sentenced to
state prison for life.
For nearly ten years Cole and Jim
were under the surgeons care in pris-
on at Saltwater. To this day Cole is
employed in the hospital. Bob, the
Youngest, and who suffered least in
the fighting, was the first to succumb.

WOMEN NOT BEAUTIFUL
And Love Making Conducted in
Conservative Acknowledgements
OF People SO Dense That They
Don't Even Know Enough to
Hate Americans.

j. Q. Lyman, who was the Demo
Gratis correspondent at the Paris ex-
position, is back and is now a student
in the varsity summer school, seeking
to make up in some measure the year
and a half Of academic work lost
while abroad. After concluding his
duties as an American guard at the
exposition Mr.. Lyman and a COM
| panion walked through Spain, drifted
down the Rhine and did the continent
in other unconventional but very de-
| lightful ways.
DO the Spanish people hate Amer
icans?" he was asked yesterday. "Are
the people intelligent, the women
beautiful"
Answering these questions in a
general way" he replied, ''it may be
said that the people as a rule are not
intelligent, that they do not dislike the
Americans, that the women are not as
beautiful as they are pictured, but
the bull fights are more cruel and dis
gushing than they are generally con-
sidered. The Spaniards seem to have
accepted the results of the war philo-
sophically, and therefore do not feel
any particular enmity against Ameri-
cans. This lack of bitter feeling is
also due to ignorance Over one-third
of the Spanish people can not read or
write and of course their ideas On the
war are rather vague. In the noun
tain districts where we spent a good
deal Of our time the dense ignorance
of the people is rather startling. At
one place where we said that we were
Americans they asked if America was
farther away than France. People
possessed of the extensive knowledge
of geography indicated by this ques-
ton could not have been greatly
troubled by the loss of colonies as
much out of their ken as if Columbus
had never discovered them. The
Americans are called Yankees by
those who know what they are and
where they come from but we never
heard any illusions to the Yankee
pig which played such a prominent |
part in the Spanish cartoons during |
the war. In our tramp We had a good
deal to do with the guardia civil which
patrols the inland roads and with the
carabineros who are posted along the
coast to prevent smuggling. They
were always very friendly and willing
to help us as much as lay in their
power. They showed considerable
about America and inquired
whether it was richer and larger than

Ar,zona's Awakening.

Arizona is now entering upon the greatest mining period of its exist ence, says the Western Mining World. It is in fact proper to say that it has already entered upon it, but it is still at the threshold. From now forward it will go on adding each year to it's mineral production to degree that while the yearly increase may not cause any immediate commotion, will be surprising when few years hence one looks backward. And in saying this it may be we'll to add that this present and future activity in mining will not be confined to any one section of the territory. Enough is now known to be able to state with some certain accuracy that Arizona is richly mineralized thoughout, for with but few exceptions there are already established mining camps in every county in the territory, with produc- ing mines and claims under develop ment in all of them. Another thing to be noted is that it's ore bodies ars rich in the three prominent metals gold, silver and copper.

UNDOUBTEDLY the first work in irrigation which the government should undertake is ahe construction of dam on the Gila River ut San Carlos, in Arizona, because this im- provement would not only bring under cul- tiyation large area of arid land for the use of white settlers, but would also relieve the urgent needs of thousands of friendly Indians, who are now in starving condi- tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement would be not only strilx- ing object lesson of the advantage of irriga- tion on large scale, but also an act oi mercy and instice.-ILos Angeles Times Editorial, Feb. l2, 1901.

TIE corporation case came up in the District Court Monday on quo warranto proceedings, but was thrown out on the ground that L. K. Drais had no authority to bring suit in the name of the territory. Subsequently an agree ment was made by opposing council whereby the case might be heard at the present term of court. the name of Attorney General Ainsworth being substituted All parties are united in urging a speedy solution of this vexed question. If the incorporation of the town is invalid, the sooner the matter is determined the better. If it is de- clared valid, all good citizens will bow to the decision, pay their taxes, and strive to disincorporate by petition.

George w Ferguson, H. P. Wood and George w. Marsten, the commit- tee appointed by the chamber of com merce of San Diego to examine the proposed route of the San Diego and Eastern railway, have returned to their homes. For the past two weeks they have been engaged in making the examination of the country to be traversed.
 "The object of our trip" said MT. Marsten to Los Angeles reporter, was to get acquainted with the busi- ness men of the various localities through which it is expected our rail- way will run and to form an estimate of the traffic of which the country is capable. We were much interested in the splendid results manifested all through that portion of the desert which has been reached by the irriga- ton canals of the Imperial company. Soil that never knew what water tasted like until the first of last July is now yielding a bouuteous harvest. We saw sorghum seven and eight feet high. A heavy millet crop was already har- vested. We tasted the finest quality of cantaloupe while there, and it is cer- tain they can be ripened there two months ahead of other localities. AL falfa has been planted in large areas and is doing we'll

A report about it says: This decline is in part at tributed to the Amalgamated fasco, bat people who have been looking into the affairs of the company state that while the Greene Consolidated Co. has a good property which is capable of large production of cop per, there has been too much booming in the stock market, aud too little st- tention paid to developing the mine sufficient to meet the requirements of the smelter. The result has been that the company has sold it's treasury stock to pay s3,OO0, 1000 of debts and now has no more stock to sell, but finds itself with an additional debt in Mexico of about $1 100000.

Gathering of Giants.
From the Fl Paso News.

Judge F. w. Parker, ? w. Mitchell, his district court clerk; Major Eugene Van Patten, the official interpreter; H. B. Holt, official stenographer, left this morning for Alamogordo, where Judge Parker opened district court today.
 The injunction suit of the Southern Pacific against the Bisbee folks, to prevent them from grading through what is known as the "brickyard prop erty," was set for to-day, and the legal fraternity and railway magnates were gathered in great numbers.
 Superintendent c. C. Sroufe of the Southern Pacific, Tucson division, went out iu his private car, San Carlos, and had for his guests not only the court officials already named, but Frank Cox of Phoenix, Judge A. B. Fall and John Franklin of El Paso, and ". E. Baker of Las Cruces, attorneys for the South ern Pacific He had also s. P. Hutch inson, general manager of the Bisbee road; w. NJ. Wambaugh, consulting engineer for the Phelps-Dodge com pany; Judge Thomas Mitchell of Tucson and Judge H. E. Hamilton of El Paso, attorneys for the Bisbee road {; S. c. Williamson, private secretary for Superintendent Sroufe; Major ". H. H. Llewellyn of Las Cruces, district attorney, and Orrin Rice of El Paso, stenographer and former court clerk.
 These formed quite formidable gathering of forces, but the utmost good feeling seemed to prevail, though all knew that one of the hottest legal battles in the history of New Mexico will be brought of at Alamogordo.
 The Southern Pacific is an old giant and the Bisbee is young one, and nothing will be left undone that legal ability can suggest to secure victory by each side.
