NEWS FROM THE HIGHwAYMEN.
HAYS CITY, KS, September q. - On
Tuesday evening, September 18th, Sheriff
Beardsley received information of the ap-
proach to the line of the Kansas Pacific
Railroad of party consisting OF six men
supposed to be the Big Springs express
robbers.
A SPECIAL TRAIN
being placed at his disposal by the Kansas
Pacific, he, with a detachment Of ten SOL
diers, under command of Lieutenant Allen,
of the Sixteenth United States Infantry,
STARTED To BUFFALO,
sixty miles west Of this place, arriving there
that night. The following morning, just
as Sheriff Beardsley had finished eating his
breakfast, two men come into Buffalo sta
ton to purchase provisions.
THE TELEGRAPH OPERATOR
informed the Sheriff that he had seen with
them an envelope addressed TO Collins, but
the parties were not the ones he was look
ing for as they
DID NOT ANSWER THE DESCRIPTION.
One of the men walked over to where the
Sheriff had fire and asked how far it was
to water, and started on his journey. The
pack horse they had with them
EXCITED HIS SUSPICION,
as it was heavily loaded. The Sheriff I'M
mediately saddled his..horse and overlook
them and had some conversation with them,
which convinced him that they were the
parties he was in search of. He returned
and took part of the soldiers with him and
STARTED IN PURSUIT.
Having overtaken the party he ordered
them to stop, as he wished them to go back
to the station with him. As soon as thi.
was spoken they attempted to draw their
revolvers, when the sheriff ordered his posse
to fire and did SO himself.
BOTH WERE SHOT,
but Collins was not killed until the second
wound, when he fell, shot through the heart.
The bodies we're Immediately taken charge
of, and turned out to be those OF Collins and
his pal.
UPON SEARCHING THE PACK,
consisting Of two sacks, about eighty pounds
of gold was found, which the Sheriff car
ried back to the station with him, and i'm
mediately organized his little band for
FURTHER WORK,
starting for Coyote, fourteen miles east OF
Buffalo, to intercept the others of the gang
whom, he had learned, were in that vicini-
ty. He is
STILL on TIE TRAIL,
and is out OF the reach OF any communica-
ton, either by telegraph or by mail, but
news is expected from hin. every moment
b. courier, as it is probable he has already
caught up with the gang by this time or
will catch up with them very shortly.

THE FULL EARTHQUAKE

KANSAS City, September -. - The
Times" has a special from Buffalo Station,
Kansas, giving the full particulars Of the
capture and killing Of two of the Union
Pacific Express robbers yesterday, and the
recovery OF $4,000 in gold
DETAILS OF THE ARREST.
About nine o'clock two men riding jaded
horses and leading heavily loaded pony
came into the station and stopped for re-
freshmenls.
THE STATION AGENTS SUSPICIOUS
were aroused by noticing the name " Joel
Collins on an envelope in the pocket of
one OF the men, which was exposed in draw
ing out his handkerchief. 1t happened that
Sheriff Beardsley, of Ellis county, and a
squad OF soldiers,
WERE On THE WATCH
for the robbers, and were encamped in a
ravine near by, and as soon as the men
left, the agent notified the Sheriff, who
mounted his men and
SOON OVERLOOK THE ROBBERS
They told him he was mistaken in the men
that they were Texas cattle men returning
home. The Sheriff asked them to return to
the station, which they cheerfuliy agreed
to do. They had only gone short dis
lance when Collins suddenly turned and
said to his companion, "If We have to die,
LET Us DIE GAME"
and both attempted to draw their revolvers.
The sheriff's posse was too quick for them
and fired, killing both men instantly. The
gold was sewed up in the legs Of a pair of
pantaloons, and consists of twenty.dollar
pieces, of the mint OF 1877. The bodies
were taken to Ellis, where
AN INQUEST WAS HELD.
There were no papers on them, except
roll of poetry, dedicated to Collins by
young lady, and which he seemed to prize
highly. The name OF the other man is not
given. Collins is said to be from Dallas,
Texas, and to belong to respectable fam
lily.
AFTEa THE OTHERS OF THE GANG.
Sheriff Beardsley and band of citizens
are in hot pursuit of the balance of the
gang, and it is expected that they will all
be captured.

large piece of petrified wood was recently
found by Mr.. NJ. Z. Morris, on his farm which
is the southeast quarter of section twenty-six,
Easton township, Leavenworth county, Kan
sas. The beauty and value of this interesting
specimen consists in the marks of a very keen
and wide-bladed axe, which has evidently
been used in telling the tree. The slope of
the kerr, the chipping of the wood, and the
clear and distinct marks of the axe are pre-
served with fidelity that is rarely if ever
equalled. This petrifaction is about thirty
inches in length, by twenty inches in
breadth, and viii weigh over two hundred
pounds.
The tree in falling has evidently split atIhe
butt, and afterward being chopped off
above the split. This low part has in the
course of time petrified or changed 10
stone. Here is nut for some of our scien-
tifc men 20 crack. How long has this been
in changing from wood 10 stone: Who, or
what race of men used the kind of an axe
that has left its marks so distinctly? And
why have we not more traces of the advanced
seems to point?
Should not some effort be made TO secure
this very interesting and marvellous preser-
walton for some of our public museums or
cabinets? The State University at Lawrence.
the Agricultural College al Manhattan, or the
Agricultural Department AT Topeka, should
by all means look after this, and secure il if
poss. BILE fof the benefit of the state. Many of
our rarest and most<yaluable specimens are
being shipped east and sold for large sums of
money, while Kansas is being impoverished
of the very things that should be found in
our own cabinets and museums.
