Independence, Mo-, Feb. 20. - Cole
Younger, one of the last Of the famous
bandits of Civil war days. is dying
near here on the farm where he was
born II years agd For several weeks
now he has been lowering between life
and death and the end would not be
unexpected at any time.
Younger has been out of prison 10
years, after serving quarter of cen
fury behind the bars Of the Minnesota
penitentiary for the Mortified bank
robbery in 1876. His brother, Bob,
died in the prison.
Thomas Coleman Younger, to give
his full name, became an outlaw be-
cause his father was killed as a re-
suit of his opposition to the war. He
joined Quantreil's band Of guerillas
and was present in the memorable
raid on Lawrence, Hans, in which its
garrison of federal troops was put to
death by the guerillas.
The depredations Of the James boys
were attracting attention about the
! time the war ended and as feeling
against the Youngers was still run
ming high as result of their activi-
ties they were blamed for many Of the
acts of the James gang. Prior to this
time, however, neighbors had started
a story that the Youngers had been
implicated in an Iowa bank robbery
Cole Younger went to Florida and
| lived under an assumed name in order
to get away from reputation he had
not earned. Unable to obtain amnesty
for what he had done during the war
Cole Younger finally conceived the
robbery of the Mortified, Mimi, bank
as a means of obtaining the money he
sorely needed The robbery failed and
three Of Younger's gang were taken
alive. The other six met death.

Arkansas was tentatively added 10 the
Democratic list.
Mr.. Humphreys announced that q
scheme of action under which the
Mississippi River flood troubles would
be handled would be one of the first
matters considered and he believed
that it would work out plan that
would adequately present 10 the House
a solution of the problem that has
been before Congress so many years.
There was considerable opposition
before the ways and means committee
to the dominance of Southern mem
bers, northern representatives con-
tending that the Northern Democrats
were not adequately represented. The
tentative nature of Mr.. WingO's selec-
ton was due to this opposition. and
it is possible that the three yacan-
cies. including that tentatively filled
by Mr. Wingo, may be given to North
ern members.
