Kurlno Former Japanese Ambassador to St. Petersburg\nin Regard to Korea\nParis, March 11.\u2014M. Kurlno, until recently Japanese minister at St. Petersburg, has arrived here on his way to\nGenoa, where be will embark on his way\nhome. He received the correspondent of\nthe Associated Press and talked most Interestingly on some of the present general Issues of the war.\n\"It Is a remarkable fact,\" said the\nminister, \"that Korea Is In a worse condition now than lt was ten years ago.\nAt that time a general state of Ignorance prevailed owing to the government's policy against modern methods.\nRecently the French minister at Seoul\npassed through St. Petersburg on his\nway to Parts and told me that the conditions of Ignorance and Incompetence\nwere worse today than when I observed\nthem. For tbat reason I do not think\nthe report that marquis Ito's mission to\nKorea Ib for the purpose of Introducing\nreforms la correct Count Inou tried\nsome years ago without success.' The\ndifficulty of the situation is that the introduction of tbe mere external forms of\nmodern civilization Is not enough, as\nwhat the Koreans need Is the substances,\nthe essence ot modern methods, Instead\nof mere outward forms.\"\nWhen asked what would be the result\nof the entrance of the Japanese Into\nKorea the former minister said:\n\"There are many erroneous reports\nconcerning Japan's intentions and policy\ntowards Korea. It seems to be the pro-\nvailing Impression that Japan Is bent on\nabsorbing Korea, territorially and politically, hut as a matter of fact she has\nno such purpose and the reports are\ndue to failure to comprehend Japan's\nsettled nolleyt, Japan has entered\namong the sisterhood of nations. She\nrecognizes tho benefits of modern civilization and methods. Intercourse, and\ncommunication. She has established\nsteamship lines to London and Antwerp\nand two lines to San Francisco and she\nhas roplaced old treaties with new ones\n' on the most modern and enlightened\nlines. All this shows her real policy\nof joining with the rest ot the great\nnations and spreading tbe benefits of\nmodern methods and modern civilization. Therefore, she does not seek the\npetty, narrow advantage of acquiring\nKorea all to herself and locking her up\nagainst the world. Those who attribute\nsuch a narrow policy to Japan fall to\ncomprehend her motives. If Japan has\nambition, it is the noble ambition to\nadvance with the rest of the world, but\nnot the ignoble ambition of setting off\na little exclusive domain for her private\noccupancy and advantage.\"\nM. Kurlno spoke with Intense earnestness concerning the noble nature of\nJapan's ambitions and continuing he\nsaid: \"Japan, therefore, does not seek\nto annex Korea or politically dominate\nher, nor does she wnnt any other country\nto annex Korea to Japan's detriment and\ndisadvantage. The recent Jnnnnese-\nKorean treaty expressly protects Korea's\nIntegrity and Independence. Moreover\nit Is not Japan's policy to annex territory on tho mainland. In tbat respect\nRussia's policy Is exactly the reverse\nof Japan's for wherever Russia goes she\nseeks to annex and acquire exclusive\npolitical domination. Japan does not\nask and does not want selfish exclusive\ndomination. She wants to be one of tho\nliberal world powers, which are extending the benefits of commerce, communication and civilization.\"\nM. Kurlno was asked concerning Russia's claim tbat Japan's success created\na \"Yellow Peril.\"\n\"Why should Japan wish to be arrayed\nagainst the white races of Europe?\" he\nasked in reply.\n\"Are not Japan's Interests the same as\nthose of the enlightened white races.\nMoreover China's 400,000,000 people,\nwhich form such a large part of the yellow race, could not be uplted in any\ngeneral movement, for China Is not a\nsingle nation but an assembly of smalt\nand comparatively Independent states\nhaving different Interests. Therefore,\nthe so-called 'Yellow Peril' Is an Impossibility and oven if it were possible, Japan does not want separation from, but\ncommunication with the white races ot\nEurope and America.\"\nMadame Kurlno accompanies her husband homo.

I'li'l'li'KSifrTRCr, March 11.\u2014The Russian torpedo boat flotilla left Port Arthur at daylight this\nmorning and attacked the Japanese fleet. One Japanese torpedo boat was sunk and one Russian torpedo destroyer, tho Bezposchtchodni, was sunk. The fato of the lattcr*B crew is not known.\nAdmiral Makaroff inaugurated his assumption of the command of tho Russian fleet at Port Arthur by a\neompleto chango of tactics. As soon ns ho nppcared he ordered the removal of the battleship Retvisan,\nwhich was stranded at the mouth of the harbor and barred the channel at certain stages of tho tide, making\ntho egress of battlesiips impossible. This morning he directed a sortie of torpedo flotilla, supported by\npart ol the Russian s juadron against the Japanese. 'J'he details are not yet known, except that the encounter\nresulted in tho loss o; one Japaneso torpedo boat and one Russian torpedo boat destroyer.\nST. PETERSB JRO, March 11.\u2014The emperor has received a message from viceroy Alexieff which says:\n\"Admiral Makaroff, commanding the fleet, reports front Port Arthur, under dato of March 10th: 'Six torpedo boats, which went out to sea on the night of March 10th, four of them being under tho general command of captain Mat tleussevitch, encountered the enemy's torpedo boats, followed by the cruisers. A hot\naction ensued, in wh.oh the torpedo boat Vlastini discharged a Whitehead torpedo and sunk one of the enemy's\ntorpedo boats. On t ie way back the torpedo boat destroyer StDrcguschtchi, commanded by lieutenant Ser-\ngueireff, was damagjd, her engine was disabled and she began to founder. By 8 o'clock in the morning five\nof our torpedo boat destroyers had returned. When the critical position of tho Stereguschtchi became evident, I hoisted my flar on tho cruiser Jfovik and went with the Novik and tho cruiser Boyarin to the rescue.\nBut. as five of the enamy's cruisers surrounded our destroyer, and as their battleship squadron was approaching\nI did not succeed in saving her. She foundered. Part of the crew were made prisoners and part were\ndrowned. On tho ships which participated in the night attack ono officer was seriously and five others were\nslightly wounded, but two sailors were killed and 18 wounded. At 9 o'clock 14 of the enemy's ships assembled\nbefore Port Arthur' nnd a bombardment was begun with, tho hoavy guns of their battleship squadron at long\nrange. This lasted u, ttil 1 o'clock in tho afternoon. It is estimated that 154 12-inch shells wero fired. The\ndamage to our vessels was insignificant, nnd they are again ready for battle. Our losses were one officer\nslightly wounded and one soldier killed and four soldiers wounded. The illumination of the sea by night by\nthe searchlights was most satisfactory, aud several times isolated shots from tho batteries forced the enemy's\ntorpedo boats to retire. With the commencement of the bombardment nt dawn the guns of the fortress\nreplied to the ouomy's fire. The crews of all the ships engaged gave proof of remarkable coolness in action,\nbelow decks the work of the day followed its ordinary course in snite of the shells falling between the vessels\nand covering them with fragments. A bombardment at such distance must bo considered ineffective. Tho\nJapaneso cruisor Takisago is reported to have been seen suffering serious damage, the extont, however, it is\nimpossiblo to ascerta n nt a distance of five miles. Many sholls wove fired at a range of seven and a half miles.'\nI havo tho honor to rsport tho foregoing to your majesty. (Signed,) Alexieff.\"\nST.

The commandant at Port Arthur\nreports as follows tin bombardment of tho fortress there on March 10th: 'As soon as the enemy opened fire\nour batteries replied. Six of the enemy's ships remained behind the Liao Tishin promontory and opened firo\non the fortress over that shelter. They ceased bombarding at 11 p. m. The enemy fired nbout 200 projectiles. One shell from battery No. 15, ou Electric cliff, damaged a Japanese cruiser seriously.\n\" 'The results o* the bombardment wero insignificant. Six soldiers wero wounded.

The account by\ncaptain Matsumura Is the first by an eye\nwitness. The captain was wounded in\nthe loot as he stood on tho bridge, by a\nshell from one of the Port Arthur batteries. His story reveals the fact that the\nJapanese battleship Fuji was badly\ndamaged, but not disabled, by Russian\nshells, while two of its officers* were\nkilled by a single shell while standing on\nthe bridge. Captain Matsumura's description of the naval battle and events\nleading up to lt Is as follows:\nAdmiral Togo called the captains of\nthe allied fleet to his flagship in Sasebo\nharbor on February Cth, Plans wore\ndiscussed but of course wore not revealed.

NEW MINING METHODS.\nAn Item is floating around the press\ndecrying what Is termed the good old\nbonanza days, claiming that ln the olden\ntimes but few mines were worked to a\ndepth ot over COO feet; alleging that the\nmachinery equipment was of the crudest, and the smelting and reduction\nmethods prlmiitlve. It further states\ntbat ln Isolated cases money was made,\nbut In the majority of cases falluro was\nthe record of the operator. The writer\nthen proceeds to tell bow much better\nmining machinery and reduction work\nequipment are now than they were In\nthe old bonanza days and generally he\nufavorably compares past with present\nmethods.\nIf the writer is talking about the days\nof the bonanza kings and of the Corn-\nstock bonanzas In Nevada ho certainly\nla criticising conditions concerning\nwhich he knows absolutely nothing.\nThirty years ago the Comstock was ln Its\nhey-doy. The hoists, pumps, shaft\nhouses and other mlntng paraphernalia,\nIncluding the quartz mills, were of the\nfinest make. Thore are a tew Instances\nknown of where the sbafthousea were\ntrimmed In hard woods with nickel\nplated finishings. Some of the shafts\nreached t depth of over 8000 ftot. The\nhoisting engines war* much more bant-\nsome and powerful than those at present\nIn use In the Lo Rol, Centre Star and\nWar Eagle mines. In one of these\nmines, the Consolidated Virginia, for t\nlong period 2100 men were employed\nunderground and lt was one of the sights\not Virginia city to visit tbe shaft house\nand see the three decked cages running\nswiftly up and down, hoisting 700 men\nand lowering tho same number at the\ntime of changing shifts. The hoisting\nengines were marvels of the foundry-\nman's and machinist's art. Water was\npumped trom a depth ot 3000 feet by\nsplendid pumps that each hour had to\nhandle many thousands of gallons of\nwater. The mines extracted between\n$300,000,000 and (400,000.000. There has\nnot been seen much better mining or\nmuch greater results anywhere except\nperhaps at Butte and In South Africa\nsince. It Is true that there has been\nsame Improvements in mining, smelting and milling machinery, and in some\not the processes since, but tho bonanza\nminors set the pace ln the west for mining. In some sections their methods\nhave boen Improved on, but In others\nthey are not bo good.\nAs far as milling Is concerned, the mill\nof the Consoldlated Virginia was almost\na replica of the mills of the Ymlr, the\nOyster-Criterion and the Eva. The Consolidated Virginia hnd Blake rock crushers, self feeders, stamps In batteries of\nfive each and the pulp and slimes passed\nover copper plates tho same as they do\ntoday ln the mills of British Columbia.\nThe British Columbia mills also have\nthe rock crushers, automatic feeders for\nthe stamps, and there is no difference\nbetween these mills In this respect and\nthe mills some 30 years ago.\nAt tho plates tho difference begins.\nAfter going over the platCB tho pulp In\nthe old mills was passed through flumes\nlined with cloth and in theso somo of tho\nvalues wero caught. Then tho pulp\nwas allowed to run off into somo waterway to be lost. In our mills of today\nafter tho pulp passes over the plates it\nIs conducted to Wlflcy tables or some\nother form of concentrator and concentrated and whatever values are in tho\nconcentrates are saved.\nIn the old days If the ore contained\nmuch base after lt wos put through tho\nstamps, It was roasted In rotary roasters\nand then amalgamated In pans and\nsettlers. If the ore contained only a\nlittle boss It was passed through pans\nand settlers. Ths old mill mon, too, got\nRagged clothes quickly\u2014\nthat's what common soaps\nwith \"premiums\" cost; but\nSunlight\nSoap\nREDUCES\nEXPENSE\nAlt for the OctagsB Bat w\nnearly as good results as the modern,\neven though the latter has his Wlfley\ntables and his cyanide vats. A going\nback to the method of 30 years ago is to\nbe seen ln the Silver Cup mill at Ferguson, wbere the ore Is to be passed\nthrough tbe stamp battery, then through\nroasters In which Is put considerable\nsalt to form chlorine gas, which carries\noff the base metals, and then lt Is amalgamated ln pans and settlers.\nIt must not bo thought, however, that\nIn the early history of mining ln the\nUnited States that mistakes were not\nmade, the same as they have been made\nin this province. All over the mining\ncountry ln the United States may be\nfound costly monuments of the errors\not the pioneer miners. It was thought\nthat a broken down clerk, bookkeeper,\nmerchant or mechanic, or anyone who\nhad mado a failure of every other occupation could successfully run a mine.\nThis was found in lime to bo a costly\nfallacy, and In time educated miners\nwero selected for theso positions. Reduction works which cost as high as\n$250,000 were erected on mines that\nnever yielded more than f 5000 or $10,000.\nMills were put up on properties that\nyielded smelting ore and smelters on\nproperties that outputted free milling\nore. New tangled machinery of divers\nkinds wero put on properties at enormous cost only to find out later that\nthey would not successfully operate.\nIn time the American miners learned\nfrom European experts something about\nmining and after a while the country\nbred a lot of miners who now understand\nthe business. Now they do not make as\nmany mistakes as formerly, but that\nthey made many anyone who has ever\nvisited the older mining sections can\neasily discern. I* this province, too,\nmany mistakes have been made, but they\nare not so numerous nor so costly as\nthoso mode by the Americans ln the\nearlier days of tbe Industry. We are\nnow getting on the right road in this\nprovince, havo learned that a mine cannot be successfully operated with fifteen\ntheorolst In the office and three men in\nthe mine, and from now on mining will\nresult In more profit than It has ln the\npast. We hare paid for our experience,\nbut the Investment has been a good one,\nas from It we havo learned much that\nIs very valuable.\nDOMINION PARLIAMENT.\nThe speech from the throne confirms\nthe suggestion made some few days ago\nthat the present session Is to be of sho'-t\nduration.\nPractically tbe only Important measure\nreferred to Is that in connection with iLc\nmodification of the Orand Trunk fa-.l-\nflc contract. Whilst the opposition may\nmako some purely academic crmiism of\nthe new features tn the transcontinental\nrailway project, lt Is not likely that nny\ndetermined hostility to the undertaking\nwill be displayed, Mr. Borden knows\nthe feeling of the country In regard to\ntransportation requirements. He realizes that from end to end of the domtv\nion there Is an unmistakeaole sentiment\nin favor of an early start being made on\nthe Grand Trunk Paclflo and lie will ,iot\nprejudice his cause by offering factions\nopposition to a scheme so universally\npopular.\nApart from this matter there Is rea'iy\nnothing to como up that should iccotfI-\ntate a prolonged session and with-goo j\nmanagement the houso should rise wlih-\niri two months.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nJudgment has just been given In tn\nInteresting Bult In Vancouver. A Mrs.\nAnderson Invested money In the Malcolm Island socialistic community, nnd\nworked for wages. The sum Invested v&s\n$350, and the wages amounted to $1 a\nday for an extended period, Mrs. Anderson sued for the money and tier\nwages. Judgment was given agalro-t the\ncompany for $350 and costs for the\nmoney loaned, but the claim for the\n$356 for wages waa disallowed. ThlB\nlatter was tho point chiefly ln dispute, it\nbeing contended by counsol tor the\nplaintiff, that the wages were duo as\nsoon as the labor was performed, while\ncounsol for tho defendants contended\nthat tho company wae a socialistic community In which no member could command any wage but only an equal share\nof the proflts after a dividend had been\ndeclared. Tbe court held this to be the\ntrue view according to the evidence and\nthat the rules of the community were\nbinding on tho plaintiff. This decision\nrelieves the company from any further\nclaim on the part of the members for\nThe New York Sun, heretofore notorious for Its pronounced Anglophone tendencies, Is apparently beginning to see\nthe error ot Its ways. In a recent article\nentitled \"England's strength upon the\nOcean,\" after giving a summary of the\ndiscussion In the Imperial parliament\non the naval estimates, lt says: \"A coalition of Russia, France and Germany\nagainst England is, of course, conceivable. In that event, should England\nlack an ally her sixty-three battleships\nwould be decidedly outnumbered by\nthose of her opponents. The balance\nwould be redressed, however, If, ln her\nhour of peril, England could count on\nthe assistance of either tho United\nStates or Japan, It would scarcely bo\ntor the Interest of either of the last\nmentioned powers to remain an Impassive\nspectator of England's defeat upon the\nocean. For two reasons: first, because\ntbe United StateB and Japan could not\nhope to withstand the new maritime\ntriple alliance ln either the Atlantic or\nthe Pacific; and, secondly, because, if\nEngland were beaten disastrously at\nsea, she would almost certainly be subjected to Invasion. The Invasion and\nconquest of the British Isles would mean\nfor the civilized world Irreparable calamity.\" \t\nMechanics, Farmers, Sportsmen I\nTo heal and soften the skill and remove\ngrease, oil and mst stains, paint and earth, etc.\nuse The \" Master Mechanic's\" Tar Soap,\nAlbert Toilet Soap Co \u2022\"\"-\nMORE CONFERENCES.\nSilver-Lead Miners and Smeltermen \u2022\nStill Busy Conferring on Export.\nTho sllvor-lead committee and the j\nsmeltermen are still busily engaged ln '\narranging the details of tho schemo pro-1\nposed by T.

Plackett, cashier of the N. & P. 8.\nlilway, a resident of Spokane, wa6 \"ne\n1st witness and he testified as to Ihe\nJ\u00bbult of the rand sales to date. He wm\nmowed by F. C.

H.\nfllllams, freight agent and Chailes\nott, local land agent tor the railway\n|mpany.\n1 Mr. Elliot's cross examination of Mr.\njtt. counsel asked the w'tness for Ihe\nI mpany's report on the tlfber standing\nJi the lands ln question. The wltnefs\ntclared that he would be ileM\/fited to\nloduce the document, out It was not in\nIs possession. Pressal by counsel Mr.\nfcott admitted that he had the doeu-\nlent ln his possession the day previous\nEnd after some further .inming, be fain\nle had handed it to his counsel Mr,\nllacNelll. Mr. Elliot appealed to his\nlamed friend tor the document but the\nlitter said?smilingly, that he also woula\nj delighted to produce the report, but\n; was ont ln hla pojs ission. The mys-\nkrlous disappearance of this Important\nlocument was not pushed further. The\nTeport, it is said, If produced, woula\n\u25a0 what timber the company admits\non the lands amassed and which\nEejr are now claiming Is worthless. A\nnap got out by tho railway showing\nlarge groups of alleged timber limits\ni the lands, Is before the commissioner,\n; has been, it Is said, repudiated by\nappellants, although the tact has\nm brought out ln evidence that a sum\n.' 18000 has been paid by the company\ni timber cruisers for estimating the ex-\n,_i of existing timber. Apparently the\nallway company has declined to give\ni court any details in its possession\nl>f the extent and value of the timber\nlands ln the grant.\nThe examination of Mr. Scott closed\nhe case for the railway and Mr. Elliot\n1 the court if any case had been\n> out for a reduction of the valna-\nItlon made by assessor Renwlck.

The old diiectois, he says,\nwere unanimously re-elected and the\npolicy of the company tor the coming\nseason was discussed. As a result of\nthis it was decided to continue active\ndevelopment work for another season,\nwhen, if the samo measure ot success is\nattained as resulted trom laat year's operations, the company would then be\nJustified ln Installing a stamp mill, with\na capacity ot at least ten stamps,\n' The work mapped out, continued Mr.\nLogan, tor the season will be the completing of an upraise, from No. 2 tunnel of the adjoining property, to connect\nwith the lower workings of the Juno\nproperty. This upraise will have to be\ndriven for over 600 feet. The upraise\nwill be made ln ore as lt will follow\nthe ledge for the entire length,\nIn addition to this work it is the intention to further open the Juno main\nvein by means of drifts on the 200 and\nthe 300-foot levels. It Is expected that\nthe body of ore blocked out and to bo\nblocked out by tho present season's work\nwill be sufftclen to keep a 10-stamp mill\nIn continuous operation for from three to\ntour years and during that period yield\na good profit.\nThe shareholders at their annual meeting expressed themselves as fully satis-\nfled with the results reached during the\npast year, and uannimously Indorsed the\npolicy of continuing the work as outlined\nby the directors.\nThe properties of the company are located close to this city and their continuous operation is ot much benefit to it.\nMr. Logan while In Montreal interested a few friends ln a property ln the\nSlocan, located within a mile and ahalt\not New Denver, known as the Sweet-\ngrass. This property adjoins the Ca-\npella group, owned by Messrs Wells &\nMcNaught, Mr. Logan visited New\nDenver this week and closed a deal with\nthe owners for the property. It is the\nIntention, he says, to commence the\nwork of developing the Sweetgrass Just\nas soon as the snow goes off, which will\nbe early in April, with a good sized force.\nThe work will be pushed as rapidly as\nthe conditions will permit The syndicate which has acquired the Swetgrass,\nMr. Logan says, haa ample capital with\nwhich to develop and equip the property\nwith whatever machinery may be necessary.\nIn speaking about tho feeling In regard to B. C. mines ln eastern Canada,\nhe said that a good many people were\nstill sore over the losses they had made\nIn purchasing stocks during the boom\ndays. Still they believe that thore are\nmany good mining properties ln the\ncountry, but they have not eufflclent\nknowledge of mining to tell the good\nfrom the bad. A stranger presenting a\nnew mining venture there or endeavoring to sell stock could scarcely get a\nhearing and could do nothing In the\nwsy of disponing of bis wares.

J. Schumacher, a Plnkerton\ndetective, who was a member of the\nposse that sought to capture Collins and\nhis pal, William Rudolph, after the daring robbery of tbe Union bank. Rudolph\nis yet to be tried for his part in the\ncrime.\nTo find anything like a parallel to the\ncareer of these two youthful desperadoes\nlt is necessary to turn back the criminal\nrecords of Missouri to tbe days when the\nJames boys and the Younger brothers\nterrorized the state. Though neither\nCollins nor Rudolph Is much over 21, a\nlong series of crimes, Including highway\nrobberies and bank robberies, has been\ntraced to them. Their most daring exploit, however, and the one that led to\ntheir downfall was the robhery of the\nbank of Union, at Union, Mo., December 27, 1902. On that date the two\nyouths rode into town, blew open the\nsafe of the bank and obtained about\n$12,000. The act was committed in the\nopen, the outlaws keeping the citizens\nat bay by using their revolvers. \u25a0\nCharles J. Schumacher, a Plnkerton detective assigned to the case, learned of\nan unknown stranger who had been seen\nln town on several occasions prior to the\nburglary, and persistent enquiry developed the fact that at the time of his last\nvisit he hnd been observed to walk toward Stanton Mo. Following this nine\nSchumacher was led to the home of William Rudolph, near Stanton. Severnl\nyears before Rudolph bad disappeared,\nafter torturing and robbing nn aeed\ncouple, and had recently returned brlne-\nIne with him a companion Introduced as\nFrederick Lewin. who, Schumacher\nfound, answered the description of the\nstranger seen frenuently at Union. Both\nwere reported to bo unusually well supplied with rooney.\nRudolph's home, was a deserted miners'\nboarding house situated on a hill, commanding a good view of the surroundlnir\ncmtntry.

Two\nshots entered the detective's head, killing him. Before the posse could be\nreinforced, the two desperadoes escaped\nfrom the house, forced a neighboring\nfarmer to supply horses, saddles and\nbridles, and rode away.\nIn the search of the Rudolph house a\nsheet of paper was found on which was\nwritten several times, \"Fred Lewis,\nGeorge Collins, Hartford, Conn.\" Thla\nled to Investigation In that elty, where\nafter ten days' search, the Plnkerton\nmen learned that one George Collins\nhad resided there some five years previous, but had gone west and not been\nsince heard from, It being surmised\nthat he probably would return east to\nspend his share ot the money, his stepbrothers, who were still residents ot\nHartford, were kept under surveillance\nhy the Plnkertons, who, co-operating\nwith the Hartford police, kept up a\nsearch ln that city and Its resorts, which\nresulted, on February 28, 1908, ln the\ndiscovery by the detectives of a man on\nthe Btreets who answered Rudolph's\ndescription.\nWith the hope of also finding Collins\nand recovering the stolen money, thr)\nsuspect was shadowed until the next\nday, when the officers located him and\nthree strangers In a houBe. One of these\nwaa Collins, who was arrested as he left\nthe house with two others. Rudolph was\narrested In the house after a desperate\nencounter. A search of tbelr room r&\nsuited ln the recovery of about 211,000*\nof the stolen money.\nThe two men were returned to Missouri and lodged for safe keeping ln the\nSt. Louis Jail, from which, on July 7th\nlast, Rudolph made a most daring escape through a skylight ln the roof. Collins was sent to Union, where he waa\ntried and convicted of murder In the flrst\ndegree.\nAhout two months ago an attempt was\nmade to rob a bank at Cleveland, Mo.\nTwo burglars were driven away, but\nwere afterwards traced to Kansas, wbere\nthev were arrester hy a posse.
