One Has Died la Prison, There were six Younger brothers, one •f whom died in childhood. They were the sons of Colonel Henry W. Young­ er, a wealthy southerner, who moved U> Cass county, Missouri, in 1830. When the war broke out the Younger prop­ erty was raided first by one side and then the other. The boys, in revenge for the injuries inflicted upon their father, became guerrillas and created so many political enemies that pardon was denied them at the close of the war.

Mon­ day morning Mrs. King made ready to depart and the husband, unable to per­ suade her to remain, secured his revol­ ver and shot her. Mrs. King Is still alive, but the doctors say she cannot recover. Jealousy was the cause of the double crime.
