Time Of His Arrival to Avoid a
Demoustratiou.-Is There Money
in Missouri for Him?

st. Paul, Feb. 4.-Cole Younger,
who was pardoned to-day, says he
will start back to Missouri some
time next week"
He was shown several kilograms
from Kansas City and other Missouri
points asking when he intended to
come to his native state.
"Tell them some time next week, "
he said. "If l tell them the exact
date there'll be a thousand people to
meet me when / get off the train and
/ don't want it. / don't want to
make a commotion when ! arrive
home. will not leave for over a
week vet. There are certain formali
ties that must be gone through be-
fore the papers finally are fled. l
am in no especial hurry"
MISSOURI FUND FOR HIM?
Younger will go to Kansas City
and to Lees Summit. 1t isgenerally
understood in st. Paul that Younger
will be received with reclamation in
Missouri. Missourians in st. Paul
say that he is not looked upon as an
ex-bandit by the older generation OF
his native state, but will be done
honor on the ground that he and his
brothers and comrades were the last
men Of the Coniederacy to lay down
their arms at the conclusion OF the
Civil war. Friends OF Younger are
authority for the statement that
when Younger returns to his native
state he will find large amount OF
cash deposited to his credit, This
money has been collected throughout
various parts of Missouri through
the efforts OF Captain Henry Neu'
mann. OF Henry county, Missouri
Thefund was started years ago when
the movement to secure Younger's
pardon was first started. 1t hat
steadily been growing ever since anc
as a result Cole will want for nothing
in his declining years.
