ELKINS ONCE PRISONER OF
QUANTRELL'S GUERRILLAs

The relations that existed between Sem
ator Elkins and the notorious Cole
Younger serve to illustrate how strange
incidents will often creep into mems
lives.
In the summer of 1SiS Senator Elkins
was on his way to Join the Union army
when he was taken prisoner by the IA
nous guerrilla. Charles w. Quantrell. at
whose hands the prisoner expected in
slant death. But on going into camp he
was relieved to see Cole Younger, Guam
trelrs second lieutenant Cole had been
pupil in the school OF which Elkins
was the teacher. Coles father and his
brothers were well known to him. and
he hastened to enlist the aid Of his for.
mer pupil to save him from a prisoners
death Cole Younger told his chief that
Elkins was all right. that his father and
his two brothers were in the rebel army,
and that Elkins had remained behind to
care for his mother and was noncom-
batant Upon the strength of this. FL
kins was released. and. acting on Coles
advice. hastened into safety.
Years afterward. when Cole Younger
was languishing in Saltwater Peniten-
tiary. in Minnesota, undergoing a life
sentence for the robbery of the bank at
Ncrthfield and for murder in the second
degree. Elkins. faithful to the man who
had saved his life, used all the influence
of which he was capable to have Cole
Younger set free after twenty-five years
Of punishment. gave him money to start
him in business. and in every possible
way sought to requite him for the great
services he had received.
This steadfastness to friends was one
Of the strongest Of the many excellent
traits that so endeared Senator Elkins
to his friends.

Mount Vernon Association Declared

The Mount Vernon Ladies' Association.
which has been fighting the establishment
Of the District reformatory near Mount
Vernon, received a severe jolt yesterday
from James r. Richards, secretary of the
Mount Vernon Anti-Fee Society, when
he said that so long as Mount Vernon
was run on the principle of a dime mu-
scum. the association should be the last
to object to the establishment of re-
formatory in the immediate vicinity.
Mr. Richards declared that every catch
penny scheme is in vogue at Mount YER
non, being more Of national disgrace
than the establishing of a reformatory.
The Commissioners declined to discuss
Mr. Richards communication. stating
that it was joke the way many patriotic
societies were denouncing the building of
a place that in itself was a monument for
the future patriotism Of the country.
