AN INTERVIEW WITH THE YOUNGERS,

at Madelia, the writer was told that after leaving the camp at Minneopa

Falls, the band went in a south-easterly direction to the Blue Earth, and

then followed up the river for half an hour where they lay in a dense

thicket all day. The men in concealment heard the pursuers, heard the

shots, and saw one at least of the party within easy pistol range of them.

At nightfall many of the hunters returned to Mankato, but still more

remained out all night performing picket duty after an arduous day’s march

through the woods and over a rough country.
