is ROBINSON GUILTY +?
AN EX-c0WBOY UNDER ARREST F0R
MURDER.
THE CULBERTsON MYSTERY
May Be on the Road to Solution
Circumstantial Evidence Very
Strong Against Robinson
Some OF His Actions Need Ex-
planning - Movement Started
for Recommitment of Insane.

Special to the Globe.
GLASGOW. Mont, Feb. l3.-Frank
Robinson, an eX-cowboy, was arrested
today at Culbertson by Detective Kill
gore and Sheriff Deegan, charged with
the murder of James Skinner. who was
killed in his shack at CulbertSOn OH the
5th and cremated by having the shack
burned over him to hide the tracks OF
the murderer. The coroner's jury that
held an inquest over the body brought
in a verdict that the cause of death was
unknown, but this was far from being
satisfactory to friends of the mur-
dered man or the Great Northern
railroad company, as it was OBJ
vious from the circumstances surround
ding the case that Skinner met with
foul play. The Great Northern detailed
its most astute detective, Kilgore, on
the case. He arrived at Culbertson
last Wednesday. LII speaking to we'll
posted man he said: "When L arrived
at Culbertson l found the town very
much agitated. Every man seemed to
make it his special duty to find the as
sasSin and avenge the cOwardly murder.
They had about fastened the crime
on Robinson and there was some
wild talk about lynching. Advice
from cooler heads. however, prevailed,
and the officers brought their man to
| Jail without Interference. although there
was great clamor and cries of Lynch
him." When placed in Jail the pris-
oner collapsed, and looked more dead
than alive. He declined to be inter
viewed. Robinson was in the habit of
spending his time in Rogers saloon
prior to the murder. As the proprietor
of the place was in the habit of telling
about the large amounts of money he
had deposited with Skinner, it is sup
posed by the officers that Robinson
there conceived the idea Of the
diabolical scheme it is believed
he SO successfully carried out. Last
fall Robinson, with anoher hard char
acter, formed plans to rob the Great
Northern passenger train. Robinson's
partner weakened, however, and the
| scheme fell through. In speaking of
| the matter some months ago Robinson
said: "The next scheme l have to make
! roll j will carry out without assist
| ance." A strong chain of Gil cumstan-
tial evidence is against him, and if he
fails to account for his whereabouts at
| the time of the murder, his actions since
| then have been such as to throw suS-
| picion Oh him.

BECKER COUNTY LUNATIOs.
They Are Recommitted Under the
Old Law.

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Feb. 13.-The
first step toward the recommitment Of
the insane, necessitated by the recent
decision OF the supreme court. was
taken this morning, when Probate
Judge Bestiek, Of Becker county, ap-
peared at the Office of Judge Burbank.
and filed informatio against all the
patients from Becker county. He
said that the county commissioners
of Becker county would reimburse
Otter Tall at once for all expenses. Ac-
cordiugly Judge Burbank took two
physicians and went to the hospital and
soon went through the operation of re-
committing under the old law. Some
of the Otter Tail patients were recon-
mitted at the same time. President
Mason, of the board of trustees, does not
believe in this plan. as neither friends
nor CONSUL are present, ,and it is all done
on tie evidence of the hospital attend
ant. If there are any patients who
have been railroaded in by bankers or
other enemies they have no show under
this method. If commitments under
the 1893 law were unconstitutional they
are farce under this method.

SUGAR GOES FREE.
Senate Committee So Decides,
Also Fayors the Income Tax.

SENATE COulInlGC6S SO DcClUeS,
Also Favors the Income Tax.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-The mem
bers of the senate finance subcommittee
on tariff devoted almost the entire day
TO work on the Wilson bill, and made
I substantial progress in the considera-
tion Of minor items. They, however,
gave comparatively little attention
to the more important questions
which have from the first been
stumbling block. They held brief
conference with Senator Voorhees,. as
result of which report gained currency
to the effect that the subcommittee had
agreed upon decision with regard to
the whisky tax, and had so reported
TO the full Democratic membership
of the committee. The truth
seems to be that the subcommittee
conferred with the chairman upon this
question, as upon others, but no definite
result was reached. The subcommittee
will take up the figures bearing upon
the whisky question tomorrow, and will
also consider In all its bearings
the effect of an increase of tie
tax, and also an extension OF the
bonded period. There will in
all probability be no alteration of the
tobacco tag, as the committee seem in
clIued to think that the tax of six cents
per pound is as high as should be I'M
posed unless it becomes necessary to
increase it for revenue purposes.
There has been q ute radical change
in sentiment about the sugar duty since
last week, when it looked as if it were
almost certain that the subcommittee
would recommend duty of at least a
cent a pound upon that article.
The committee has not as yet def
lnitely decided upon the subject,
but it looks now very much as if
sugar would be allowed to remain where
it is-on the free list. The decision
upon the income tax will have an i'm
portant bearing upon the sugar Ques-
ton, as it is not believed that both the
income tax and the. sugar duty will be
necessary to supply the requisite
revenue, in view of the other
changes contemplated. 1t is now
even more certain that the income tax
will be retained than that sugar will
not be interfered with and if it should
not be stricken out, the recommended
tion of the subcommittee will be favor
able to free sugar. dependent upon
one other contingency. This con-
nngency is the possibility of not
being able to pass the bill unless
something is done for sugar. This
question is giving the committee more
concern than any other in connection
with the sugar schedule, but they
appear now to be inclined te
take the chances on the loss of
some Democratic votes. with the
hope of getting Republican votes,
if they should be necessary, to pass the
bill without sugar tax. Senator
Dubois is still hopeful of getting duty
on lead ore. The subcommittee
has quite definitely decided not
to recommend the change of
the bill as it camo from the
house with regard to wool. The wool
men have not, however, given up the
fight, and say they will appeal from the
decision of the committee if it should be
against them to the senate, and they are
putting good deal of time laying their
facts and arguments before individual
members.

For the year 1898, when the mere
threat of less or no Protection for bar
ley was hanging over the head of the
American farmer, the average price of
barley on all farms in the country was
only 40.6 cents per bushel, or sS.W per
acre, bringing the value of the barley
crop down almost as low as that of the
wheat crop, which was 1921 per acre
in the same year. What will it be
when the Russian barley gets here?
Russia.h has 80, 600, 900 bushels of barley
for export every year. and can easily
grow more when she can get into our
market with the assistance of the
Democratic party and their Free-Trade
system. .

Wheat is now a little higher than
corn. For over a month the reverse
has been the case. The order of value
per bushel among the cereals is now
wheat, corn, barley, rye and oats. Bar
ley has generally held second place,
but the new tariff law will probably
now keep it in the third, because it
invites Canadian barley to come in

ticle.
