JAMES YOUNGER TAKES LIFE
BECAUSE UNABLE TO MARRY.
A LETTER TO HIS SWEETHEART
Injuries Sustained In Old Desperado
Days Bother Till the End Wants
No Crocodile Tears and Aeko
Mournent to Stay Away.
ST. PAUL, Minn. James Younger,
formerly n member of the notorious
band of outlaws, which Infested tho
country n quarter of a century ago,
committed suicide Sunday by Bhoot
lng. Ho left a letter to tho press in
which ho gives as u reason for his act
despondency over continued Ill-health
and separation from his friends,
Younger occupied a room In a down
town block and when he did not mako
his appcaranco as usual search was
made for htm. About 5 o'clock In tho
afternoon his door was broken lu and
his dead body found on the floor be
side the bed, wlth a revolver clutched
tightly In the right hand. He had
shot himself through the head and
had ovldontly bean dead for several
hours.
Younger, since bis parolo from tho
stnto penitentiary In July of last year,
had led nn exemplary life, but he was
recontly quite seriously hurt by a fall
from a wagon. Other wounds he hnd
received earlier In his life guvo him
trouble, nnd although ho soon obtnlned
light employment, his health was pre
carious and this caused him much
worry. Ho was 51 yenra old.
On a bureau In the room was found
n long manlla envelope, on one side
of which was written:
"To all that is good and true I lovo
and bid farewell. "JIM YOUNGER.
On tho othor sldo was written these
words:
"Oh, lassie, goodbye. All relatives
Just stay away from me. No crocodile
tears wanted.
"Roporters: Bo my friends. Burn
mo up. JIM YOUNGER."
Tho cnvclopo contained i package of
lettcrB that hnd passed between
Younger nnd n lady with whom ho
Ib Bald to have been In love. Tho lady,
who Is prominently connected, Is said
to havo reciprocated his affection and
It was reported ut one tlmo that they
wero to bo married. The lady's rela
tives raised objections to tho wedding
nnd a further obstacle was tho fact
that n paroled prisoner cannot legal
ly contract a marriage. Tho couplo
determined to disregard the abjec
tions of relatives and an effort was
mado to ovorcomo the other obstacles
by securing from the stnto board of
pardons n full pardon nnd restoration
to citizenship. This efTort failed, and
It Is thought this had much to do with
Youngers' determination to end his
life. Tho lady Is now said to bo In
Boise, Idaho, for her health.
It Is uIfo said thnt relations between
Jim nnd Cole Younger were very much
strained; In fact, that the brothers
had not been on speaking ternfs for
six months.

THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations from South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOCTH OMAHA,
Cattle Thero were no good cornfed
steers In the yards with which to mako
ft test ot the market. For tho week tho
better grndes such as sell fro $0.50 up
mny bo quoted Just about steady. The
common kinds, though, such ns sell be-
ow $G.50 are not far from n qunrter lower
than they were a week ngo. Tho reason
seems to be that packers can Kot enough
ot tho western grnss steers to supply their
trade nt a lower figure nnd they take tho
placo of these part-fnt corn cattlo. Tho
cow market did not show much change.
UuyoM took hold quite freely nnd tho
yard were cleaned up In good season.
As compared with n week ago the cow
mnrket looks a Ilttlo higher, particularly
on the good henvy weight cows and heif
ers. Tho medium tirades nnd runners.
though, aro also higher for the week.
Hulls, venl entvers and stags did not
show enough change to bo worthy of men-
don.
Tho mnrket for stockers nnd feeders
was very quiet. Good cattlo were ex
tremely scarce nnd tho common to fair
cattlo wero hard to move at any price.
Tho market could be quoted dull and
weak. As compared with tho closo of
Inst week nil kinds of feeders nro lower.
The decline In most cases would bo cov
ered by 15c, though somo salesmon put It
at loyzoc.
There wcro not enouch western beef
steers to toll much about the market, but
good stuff would probably havo sold
steady. Kor tho week tho mnrket Is a
ilttlo stronger and good stuff In somo
casts looks lOfUSc higher. Itnngo cown
held steady and havo advanced 1013c
during tho week.
HOGS Thero was another small stinnlv
of hogs and as packers all hnd to havo
n few thu market recovered from yester
duy's slump. Tho market opened qulto
unlive ana iqicc higher thnn yesterday.
Tho big bulk went from $7.05 to $7.10, and
an high as $7.15 was paid. Sellers wero
wuilni; to cut looso at those llgures. nnd
as it result It was not long before prac-
ucnuy everything In tho ynrds wns dis
posed of. Tho later sales wcro fully ns
good ns tllo early ones, so thnt tho mar
ket was very satisfactory from sturt to
