The Younger Brothers.
A sister of those ideal outlaws,
the Younger boy*, lives in Kansas
City. She is married, and few'
know her identity. Eyen I did not
know it until she addressed me a
letter yesterday, caused by apflbli-
cation of a story that a fossilized
body, supposed to be Unit of Bruce
Younger, had been found in a cave
in the Guadeloupe mountains, and
hail l>een identified by a sister of
Bruce, living at Gainesville, Tex.
The sister in Kansas city denies the
existence of such i woman. Bruce
says the si.-ter, imphati'-ally, W&i
never associated with the James
boys, and, even/if alive, Frank
James would not know him. But
she claims that Bruce Younger diet
in Colorado City, and was buriet
in Colorado Spring-, three years ago
last tfeptember. The winter of 188,">
she says, tie was in Kansas City,
and made his home with her, under
an assumed name, of course. Then
he went West. The sister has
postal card written by Bruce when
lie w;ib first taken sick in Colorado,
and from his illness she says he
never recovered. “I know what I
am saying.’’ she say*, "and it Bruce
wef\? alive Tinw he would Tic 42
