SeIf-Innicted Death of n Character
Prominent I'm Criminal History.
st. Paul. Mimi. oct. 19-James
Younger one of the famous Younger
brothers. compatriots of Jesse James,
committed suicide to-day by shooting
Younger was recently paroled from the
saltwater penitent.ary, in which he
and his brother. Coleman, were serv-
ing life sentences for participation in
the Mortified Bank raid in 1876.
James Younger was the youngest of
three brothers, Robert. Coleman and
James. who between the years 1866 and
1878 gained great notoriety through
their association with Jesse and Frank
James.
The band, headed by Jesse James.
was charged with almost innumerable
robberies of banks and railroad trains,
in the execution of which many des-
perate encounters took place and many
men were killed. The members of the
band had served through the Civil
federacy with Quantrell and his guer-
/
legged post bellum depredations was the
states of Missouri and those adjacent
thereto, but in September 1876, the
band entered Minnesota, traversing the
state as far as Mortified, in Rice
county. There. on Sept. {, after ter
rorizing the people on the street, an
attempt was made to loot the First
National Bank. Cashier j. l.. Hey
wood, who was in charge of the bank,
Ia nj the
funds of the institution and during
the encounter he was shot and killed,
not, however, until he had wounded
one or more of the raiders and aroused
the citizens. After weeks desperate
retreat of the robbers, three of them
were killed and the three Younger
brothers were captured. Jesse James
| escaped. Robert Younger died in
prison.
Frequent attempts were made to Sc
| cure pardons for the remaining
brothers, the petitions being signed by
leading men in all walks of life. both
| citizens of this state and of Missouri.
Among those who made especial eff
| forts to secure the granting of par
| don was Senator stephen b. Elkins,
of West Virginia. who, 1t is said, had
known the brothers well in the days
before the war. The Legislature passed
a parole bill under which the remain
| ing two brothers were released on July
| IA, 1901. They went into business.
James Younger has suffered much from
| old wounds.
| James Younger prior to shooting
! himself left a letter to the press in
which he gives as a reason for his act
dependency over continued i'll health
and separation from his friends.
Younger since his parole from the
state penitentiary in July of last year
has led an exemplary life. His first
employment was as travelling agent for
tombstone dealer, and on one Of the
trips he made about the state he was
seriously hurt by a fall from a wagon.
Old wounds also gave him much
trouble, and although he obtained
lighter employment, his health was
pecarious ana this caused him much
worry. The coroner decided that an
inquest was not necessary. 1t is not
yet known what disposition will be
made of the remains, some doubt aris-
ing under the terms of the parole as to
whether the body can be removed from
4 the state.
1t also appeared he was in love with
lady whose folks objected to their
marriage.

Many of the delegates are instructed.
in various features of the settlement,
but a majority of them will follow the
advice and judgment of President
Mitchell. There is nothing on the
surface tonight that gives indication
that the convention will not vote to
send the men to work this week, with
the probabilities still in favor of
Thursday as the day of resumption.
noticeable thing among the dele
gates was their cheerfulness. All the
delegates who were spoken to regard
ing the action of to-morrow's conven-
ton appeared to have no fear that
hitch might occur which would disar-
range the present peaceful trend of af-
fairs. The principal question outside
of the great question of accepting or
rejecting President Roosevelt's propo-
sitions for the strike settlement will
be of the men getting their old posi-
tons.
A large number of men fear that in
the general rush to return to the
mines some of them may fail to get
work. They want some assurance from
the convention that they will be able
to get the positions they occupied be-
fore the suspension was ordered. 1t is
likely this element from the three dis
trcts will join forces and make a con-
certed fight on the floor of the conven-
ton for some specific action. In the
face of the fact that the operators are
on record that they will not dismiss
one man who stood by them during the
struggle, it is going to be a serious

the time of the convention, which is
expected to last not more than two
days.
The meeting in all likelihood will be
held behind closed doors after formal
organization is effected. President
Mitchell will be elected chairman, and
during the first session in an opening
speech to the delegates he will lay the
plan of arbitration submitted by Pres
ident Roosevelt before them for action.
He will recommend that it be accept
ed, and the men return to work as
quickly as the coal companies can pro-

GRAFTON OF Labor went on record as
strike breaker to-day when. by an al

members Of the Wholesale Grocers EN-
ployes' Union were ordered to return to
work, pending the settlement of their
troubles by arbitration. Five large es-
Establishments had been tied up and two
more were threatened.

brought about by the fact that its exec
utive board was a party to an agree
ment between the wholesale grocers
and their men. which was drawn in
September. The paper contained pro-
visions for the arbitration of all diffi-
culties, and the strike was called last
Friday, before such arbitration had
taken place. The members of the
