A STORY OF COLE YOUNGER.
Showed His Humanity to MAJ. Foster
After the Battle Of Lone Jack.

Il see that Cole Younger. the former ban
dit, who was paroled from the Minnesota
penitentiary two years ago. has been grant
ed a conditional pardon, which will admit
Of his returning to his former home in Mis-
souri,, which reminds me OF story about
the famous bandit which shows that even
thieves have an honest streak" said Robert
8. Parsons Of Springfield, Mo-, to Star
man at the New Willard.
"A United States detachment under
command Of the late Major Emory s. Fos-
ter. took part in the battle at Lone Jack,
Mo. During the engagement Major Foster
was shot and, 1t was thought, fatally
wounded. The Union troops were defeated
and fell back leaving their wounded.
h.ajor Foster and his brother lay in a cabin
when young bushwhacker, who had once
been their enemy, came In in a haf-drunken
condition. and seeing the condition OF the
major told HIM to prepare to die as he was
going to get even. AS he was about to pull
the trigger a young fellow dashed forward,
knocked the pistol up, seized the rowdy
and threw him from the cabin. He told the
officers that are was Cole Younger and prom
ised to look out for their protection. Major
Foster thought he was going to die and de-
cided to confide In ounger. He asked him
to take $IOO, his watch and chain and other
yaluableS to his mother, who lived in War
rensburg. Four days later the major was
notified by his mother that she had received
the package Intact. From that day until
the day of death Younger had no better
friend than Major Foster, who worked
hard to secure the parole on which Young
er was released two years ago"

HARRY BROWN, NATIVE OF Der
LIN, TAXES HIS OWN LIFE.
Believed to Have Been Without Funds
and Despondent-No Rela-
tives Here.

The report Of pistol shot fired In La
fayette Square last night, a few minutes
before IL o'clock. was heard by a number
OF persons who had just left the White
House reception and few others who
were vending their way homeward. An
Investigation was made by Park Waterman
Berlitzheimer. and approaching the bench
where the pistol fash had been seen he
discovered the dead form Of a. man in
sitting position. There was a bullet wound
in his right temple and the weapon was on
the ground near his feet. Thinking there
might be chance of saving the mans life
the police summoned assistance. but 1t was
discovered that the bullet had passed
through the skull and penetrated the brain,
and the case was hopeless. The body was
identified this morning at the morgue as
that OF Harry Brown, native Of Berlin,
Germany. A letter was found in a pocket
of his coat last night addressed to Mrs.
Maggie Narrower who lives at 419 New
Jersey avenue southeast, and this caused II
to be circulated that the dead man was
ID. ID. narrower, sailor belonging to the
Dolphin. The contents OF the letter indi-
Gated that the writer, Narrower was tired
OF the naval service and was anxious to
engage In some good paying business in the
city. in order that he might be with his
mother He also stated that he had been
tried and sentenced for some offense, but
had not yet received his punishment This
letter was turned over to Mrs. Narrower
today.
Cards in His Pocket.
Two cards from the Congressional LII
brary were also found In a pocket of the
dead mans clothing. On one OF them was
written. My address Is. in case OF acct
dent. notify Benz. NJ. Halprln, 80 Canal
street, New York" 1t was ascertained
early this morning that Narrower was still
on the Dolphin. and the police then started
out 10 get the body identified. 4 brother of
the sailor Narrower called at the morgue
and Identified the body as that of Brown
He was able to give but little informant ION
concerning Brown. The deceased, he
thought, was about thirty years old.
Brown had told him he was a native Of
Germany and that he had an uncle in New
York named Bond, but his house address
was not given him. He stated that Brown
had been in the city several days, and had
called with him to see his brother aboard
yesterday and was given the note to hand
slept at the Narrower house. Narrower be-
Heves he killed himself because he was
without funds. There was not one cent
found in his pockets

fortunate man. His body will be held at

Jorgensen carblne pattern for the metro
polltan police department. They inclosed a
letter to them from Major Sylvester. su-
perintendent Of police. asking for the car
bines and saying:
For over thirty years this department
has had In its possession a lot Of old-time
Colts revolvers. which are poorly adapted
for modern purposes. Every well equipped
police department in this country is sup
piled with arms Of one pattern or another
and, in order that the equipment OF the de-
partment at Washington may In no wise be
inferior to that of other cities, that proper
provision may be had in case OF emergency,
and that members OF the force may become
acquainted with the handling and use OF
the same, make this request"
Not Used in Other Cities.
The requisition was referred to Gen. Gro
zier. chief of ordnance and was returned
by him with the statement that the United
States magazine carbines caliber 80. are on

as to the practice OF arming the police OF
