Collins Not a Train Robber.
KANSAS CRY. Oct, IL.
Grave doubts have arisen as to the
guilt of Joel Collins, recently killed as
one of the robbers of the Union Pacific
train. A law firm of Topeka will be re-
tanned by the father of Collins to iDves-
tigate the matter. Enough has been
learned to justify the statement that
Collins could not have been present at

of money on his person at the time of
his death is accounted for by the state
ment that he had just returned from
the Black Hills where hs had sold
drove of cattle and was returning with
the money-nearly $4,000. His con-
duct when arrested is accounted for by
the hypothesis that he supposed he
had fallen into the hands of robbers.
