YOUNGER A SUICIDE.
Famous Ex-Bandit Said he Was
Tired Of Life.
For Sic Months He Had Not spoken TO His
Brother, Cole-Disappointcd In His
Desire to Marry = Young
Woman.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 20.-James
Younger, formerly a member of the
notorious James band Of outlaws,
which infested the western country
q quarter of q century ago, commit
ted suicide yesterday by shooting.
He left letter to the press in which
he gives as a reason for his act de-
'spondency over continued i'll health
and separation from his friends.
Younger, since his parole from the
state penitentiary in July of last
year, had led an exemplary life. His
first employment was travelling
agent for tombstone dealer, and on
one of the trips he made about the
state he was quite seriously hurt
by fall from q wagon. Old wounds
he had received earlier in life also
gave him much trouble and, al
though he soon obtained lighter en-
ployment, his health was extremely
precarious and this caused him much
worriment. He was 81 years of age.
On bureau in the room was found
a long Manila envelope, one side of
which was written: ITO all that Is
good and true I love and bid fare
well.-Jim Younger" On the other
side of the envelope were these
words: "Oh, lassie, good-by. All
relatives, just stay away from me.
No crocodile tears wanted. Report
-ers: Be my friends. Burn me up
Jim Younger"
The envelope contained package
Of letters that had passed between
Younger and lady with whom he
is said to have been much in love.
The lady, who is prominently. con-
nected, is said to have reciprocated
his affection and it was reported at
one time that they were to, be mar
ried. The lady's relatives raised
strenuous objections to the wedding
and a further obstacle was the fact
that it was pointed out that pa
rolled prisoner could not legally con-
tract a marriage. The couple deter
mined to disregard the objections
of relatives and an effort was made
to overcome the other obstacle to
their marriage by securing from the
state board of pardons full pardon
and restoration to citizenship. This
effort failed and this, it is thought,
had much to do with Younger's deter
mination to end his life. 1t is also
said that relations between Jim and
Cole Younger were very much
strained-in fact that the brothers
had not been on speaking terms for
the past six months.
