Ed Chaffse of Fort Collins is a patient
at the Kelley institute. He has been
there a couple OF days. Tuesday night
while suffering from an attack of delirium
tremens he jumped from a second story
window of the institute. 1t is believed
he alighted on his head. He struck with
such violence as to crack a piece Of sand
stone under the window. He is severely
and perhaps dangerously injured as he
now seems to be partially paralyzed. DR..
Barkwell and the institute physician are
attending the man and a friend from Fort
Collins will reach here today to nurse him.

COLLINS ARRESTED.
The President of the Cheyenne Ma.
tionaI Placed In Jail
BY the United States Authorities
at San Diego, Gala.
He is Charged with Embedding Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars.
Collins Says He Can Explain Every.
thing When the Time Comes.

The Associated Press last evening sent
out the following telegram (which is Of
especial interest to people living here and
hereabouts:
SAN DIEGO, GALA, Feb. 24.-J. W
Collins. president of the California Ma
tional bank, which suspended November
16, was this morning arrested by United
States Marshal Gard on orders from At
torney Miller at Washington. Collins is
charged with en- bezzlement to the amount
of 5000, 900. He will have a preliminary
examination here. -
For some time past Mr.. Collins has been
expected here to attend to some private
business which demands his attention.
He has written to this effect to some Of
his friends here and that such was his
intention Is evident from the fact that
private mail from various parts of the
country has peer addressed to him here
during the past week. Some rather racy
developments are expected in this matter
and its outcome will naturally be watched
with great interest from this end of the
line.
Through a special dispatch THE LEADER
late last night received these additional
particulars from San Diego:
This community was startled today
by the report that United States
Marshal Gard had arrested John W. Col
Inns, president of the California National
bank, which suspended here last fall. 1t
was rumored last night that sensational
developments might be looked for, but
nobody expected what followed. 1t seems
that a com plant was filed in the United
States court at Los Angeles several days
ago and that a warrant was issued a day
or so later. Marshal Gard arrived on
Tuesday night and later got orders to
serve the warrant. This morning shortly
after Collins came down from breakfast at
the Hotel Brewster, where he resides, the
marshal called him aside and arrested
him.
The warrant charges him with the en-
bezzlement of 5000, OGO of the funds of
the California bank. Mr.. Collins took
the proceedings very coolly. Later he
had a consultation with Court Commits
sioner Ward, and the latter gave him to
understand that bail would be fixed at
$4,000. Mr.. Collins has but little to
say. He claims he was arrested on a
mere technicalItY and that he will have no
trouble to explain affairs. He seems I'M
der a great mental strain. Receiver
PauIy says the comptroller of the treasury
has been sometime in possession of the
information upon which the warrant was
issued but withheld action to give the
stockholders a chance to reopen the bank.
The resumption is now not expected.

BACK FROM AUSTRALIA.
What a CHEYENNE Man Saw on the
Other Side of the Earth.

Mr.. A. F. Krohn has just returned
from Sydney, New South Wales, and was
seen last evening by a LEADER reporter.
Mr.. Krohn was in the best Of health,
equally good spirits, and greeted the re-
porter with a cheerful How are you,
sir2" as he beckoned him to a seat.
What about your trip to the other
side of the earth?" said the reporter, as
he sank into a cushioned chair.
That is a big question" he said,
laughipgly. II spent exactly three weeks
in Australia. and it was interesting in
deed, to an American, but that was all |
wanted. For the first time in nv lite l
got homesick, and wanted to como home
alter spending that time in Sydney and
the surrounding country"
What about the people and business
in that country, Mr.. Krohn?" he was
asked.
"Ob, business is as dull as a cemetery.
Why, seventeen banks failed there in the
last six months. and some of the biggest
commercial associations in the country
are also financial wrecks. The cause of
all this is the extreme obliviousDess of
the natives. An American can get all
round them in a trade. As quick as 1
left the ship and landed at Sydney 1
overheard q large number of the natives
saying that [ was a Yankee" They
know 40 American as quick as they see
him. | went into the interior of the con-
tinent more than 500 miles while there.
The Australians nave a superb climate,
but it was rather hot for one reared in
the temperate zone there in January.
The most delightful fruits and wines are
to be found in all parts of the country"
20, Yes,' he added, its a great coun
try. They have a navy without ever a
canoe; an army with forty captains,
twenty colonies, ten generals and no pri-
Yates. It's a country of free ~,alligators,

Lee Peeke, u Switchman, Meets with
a Painful and DANGEROUS Accident.

Lee Peeke. a switchmau in the Union
Pacific yards, last evening met with an
exceedingly painful. but not necessarily
fatal accident. Peeke was helping to
make up a train and was in that part OF
the switch yards facing almost due south
from the Metropolitan hotel. at the time
the accident happened Peeke was alone,
but when friends reached him he managed
to tell how it happened. He was coupling
cars and while between two freight cars
he failed to make them connect, and of
course they separated, coming back to-
gether with great force. As they came
together Peeke lost his footing and the
link caught his left leg just above the
knee cap, cutting the flesh horribly and
giving it the appearance of human mince-
meat. The bones were also broken in
several places.
The unfortunate man was carried to
his room in the Thomas building on Six
teenth street on a Union Pacific stretcher
and DR.. Grimes was summoned. de
pronounced the wound a dangerous one
and chloroformed Peeke before attempt
ing to dress it. DIR. Grimes could not tell
whether he would have to amputate the
leg, but thought when reaction set in, 1t
would very probably be necessary.
Pceke has been a switchman in the
Cheyenne yards for something more than
two years. He was faithful and energetic
and has won the respect and confidence Of
all his fellow switchmen, and all the rail
road officials with whom he was acquainted.
Peaks parents live at GalesburR, Ill.
PEEKE DIE THIS MORNING.
LATER AT 3 O'Clock this morning
Peeke died. He was in great agony from
the time the accident occurred, but bore
up with remarkable fortitude.
He did not want to take any stimulants
while the wounds were being dressed,
but DR.. Grimes said he could not bear the
operation if he did not.
A large number of switchmen and
Yardm aster Bierd attended the unfortun-
ate man tenderly until he died.
