Train Robbers Fooled.

a special from Guthrie, q. r.. says-The
south bound passenger train on the Santa Re
road was held up Saturday night about
1880 o'clock by five masked men, who
detached the engine and robbed the express
car OF all the money il contained. 1t is
believed the amount stolen is not very
large When the robbers boarded the
train the messenger was looking out Of the
door of his car. He closed and locked his
doors and then began 10 hide the money
and valuables in places of safety where
they would escape the detection Of the
robbers. While the bandits were detach-
ing the engine and express car from the
rest of the tram. and were running IL 10
the plao, where the robbery occurred, two
miles distant the messenger disposed of
most of the valuables in places of safety.
Then he locked the safe. When the
robbers appeared at the door Of the express
car he made a show OF resistance, but
finally admitted them. They Immediately
made for the safe and demanded that il be
opened. With feigned reluctance the
messenger opened it ard, at the command
Of the leader. handed out the contents,
among which was a package of worthless
papers, which he told the robbers was a
valuable package OF money. The most OF
the money had been hidden in the stove.
Finding nothing else OF value they made
their escape. a pursuit of the robbers was
Immediately begun.

FOREST FiREa
Niles or Trees and Much Property
Gone Up In Smoke.

The five upper townships in Newaygo
county have been surging sea Of fire ever
since Sunday and IL is believed that not a
single one of the small hamlets Is left.
Fields station, with its four saw mills and
general store Is no more and the 300 peo-
pie who lived there Sunday are now with
out home or roof TO cover their heads
Otia. or Dingman, as IL is known TO the
postal authorities, Is but collection of
smoking runs with the 200 people who
called the place home standing around
In despair. Park City in Lincoln town
ship went out in fire and smoke Monday
morning. Nothing is left of the cluster of
small houses that marked the place. Lilly
station is hardly worthy the name of
station. as only the small hotel and smaller
railroad station are left to mark the town
site. Freight cars without number burned
and logging trains melted away into ashes
on the tracks where they stood awaiting
their loads of lumber.
A dispatch from Ludington says: Some
of the people who lived in Walkerville
before the fire struck that town arrived
here Monday in deplorabe state. They
had nothing to call their own but the
clothes they wore, and are exhausted with
hard work trying 10 save their village.
lney say III Is llnpoSSlDlc 10 lell now many
OF the inhabitants escaped alive but they
fear that many died in the woods where
they fled for safety. The village had 500
inhabitants and no one kno VS. where moro
than half this number is at present. The
/ loss at this point will reach $50. 900.
Vague rumors of large loss OF life in
other points come in but verifcation is
impossible.
r. b. Coolidge, general agent of the
Wheeling 81 Lake Erie, was passenger
on the Mackinaw eastern express, which
arrived in Bay City on Monday from
Mackinaw. Mr.. Coolidge said: Talk
about the fires of the hereafter, | don't
think they can be compared with what we
passed through last night. Beginning at
Mackinaw City, and coming as far south
as Frederic, both sides of the track was a
seething mass of flames, and the smoke so
dense that am told lamps were lighted at

afternoon. it being so dark. Thousands
upon thousands of cedar posts and ties
belonging TO the Michigan Central are
being burned alongside of the track. The
towns of Indian River and Rondo were in
much danger yesterday and when we
passed last night dozens of men, looking
like so many demons, were TO DO seen
fighting the fiery monster.

or number Of years Mr.. Turner has

nd In iron mining in the northern PENN

After Many DAYS.

n Special from Ionia says a warrant
has been issued for the arrest of Myron O.
Collins of Portland for the murder OF his
wife, Mrs. Emma Jane Collins. who died
from the effects of pistol shot IN 1856.
This is the famous Collins case which
created so much stir at the time of the
tragedy The history of the case is one of
the most sensational Of the state. At the
time OF the tragic event it was generally
considered that Mrs. Collius committed
suicide, ali the circumstances pointing in
that direction. There were two inquests
held and both times the jury came to the
same conclusion-death by her own hand -
the latter inquest running along some three
months, Attorney General Moses Taggart
attending at the request OF Governor Luce.
A. a. Ellis, now attorney general, was then
prosecuting attorney. The case has laid
dormant all these years. until G. G.. Jones,
an attorney from Portland. who so vigor-
ously pushed the case at the inquests, has
had warrant issued at this late day.
This will be surprising news 10 the people
of this part OF the state, as the case was
long since supposed 10 have been decided.
Collins is now in Grand Rapids, and this
dispatch will be the first news he will
have of the matter. 1t is understood that
J. G.. Blanchard Of this city will assist in
the prosecution as prosecutor. Davis was
then attorney for Collins.

RAILROAD MANAGERS FORE.
STALL AN INTENDED STRIKE.
All the Switchmcn on the North
western Railway Discharged. -
a Brave Express Messenger.
Switchmen Discharged.

On Thursday morning every union
switchman in the employ OF the North
western railroad, not only in Chicago, but
at every other point, was discharged. This
was done in carrying out the company 3
resolve not to allow the switchmen 10 in
terfere in the affairs of the road and die
tate as 10 the discharge of the yardmasters,
etc. For months the company has been
preparing for the battle, and has been mir
ing nonunion switchmen all over the
country. so quietly has IL been doing
this work that the union switchmen didn' {
get an inkling until the very last moment
OF what was going on. AS soon as the
the local force was discharged, 200 new
men were ready to take their places at the
switches. The new Corners were for the
most part experienced men, and under the
supervision of the the various superintend.
cnts had no trouble in doing the work.
Each division superintendent had his
company Of men and went at the work
carefully aud systematically. The result
was that the passenger and suburban
trains. as well as all freight trains, came
in and went out on the schedule time. All
live stock and perishabe freight was
promptly handled and delivered. No
violence was offered by the old men, who
stood about in groups watching the new
Corners at their labors. Policemen were
stationed all through the yards and about
the downtown depot TO prevent any
trouble.
