Yesterday morning about six o'clock
a rather bold robbery was perpetrated
at Williams & Dixon's boarding house.
at the corner of Main and Fifth streets
IN Benwood, of which the victims were
Frank Wallace and Everett Bumgard-
ner, two boarderS at the house. By
the operations of the thief, whom it is
generally believed was another boarder
at the house, Mr.. Wallace lost g pocket
book containing about nine dollars in
change and Mr.. Bumgardner is out a
sum of money amounting to about four
dollars.
According to a story of the theft as
told by one of the victims, MesSrs Wal
lace and Bumgardner, both Of whom are
Benwood mill WrightS, and Abe Seifert,
OF Lancaster, Ohio, an eX-member of
Co. |, Fourth regiment Ohio volun-
teer infantry, together occupied room
in the second story of the establish
ment. Yesterday morning the two mill
workmen arose at the usual hour and
after clothing themselves went down
stairs to breakfast, leaving Mr.. Seifert
sleeping soundly in his accustomed
place in the apartment. The two men
had been sitting at the breakfast table
but a short while. when Mr.. Seifert
strobe into the dining room, clad in his
very best, and announced that he had
no time in which to breakfast as he
intended to report for work at the
Wheeling steel and iron works as early
as possible. Shortly after the soldiers
departure, the two men, having finished
their meal returned to their chamber
to make final preparations for return
ing to work, and were quite surprised
to discover that their clothes, which
were lying conspicuously about the
room, had been ransacked and rifed of
the sums of money as mentioned.
Frank Wallace and A. r. McGrew, an
other boarder, after notifying the Ben
wood police, set out on the trail of the
thief and learned later from the CharOn
ferryboat officials that a man answering
to the description of the soldier whom
they accuse, had made his way to the
Ohio side of the river. The Bellaire,
Bridgeport and Martins Ferry police
were then notified Of the robbery.
Private Abe Seifert. of the Fourth
Ohio regiment volunteer infantry, was
discharged from the service some time
ago by Geographic instructions from
Washington, on account of disability,
and about four weeks ago came to
BenwOOd from his home at Lancaster,
for the purpose of securing work at one
of the mills. On arriving at Benwood
he gave the name of Abe Shoemaker.

STARTED THE BELLS.
Thawing Water Pipes by Electricity Set
Telephone Bells JinglinS,

Plymouth, Ind, February 27.-The
experiment of thawing out the iron wa
ter mains by electricity has been tried
here. Hardly had the heavy arc wires
been connected with the mains and a
circuit established however, when
every telephone bell in town began
making a furious racket. Most of the
ground connections to the telephone
system are made by attaching the wire
to water pipes. The mains could soon
be thawed if the people could stand the
noise of the bell ringing.

JUDGE COLLINS.

Justice Loren w. Collins within a.
few weeks will resign his position on
the supreme bench and definitely an
nounce his candidacy for the republi-
can gubernatorial nomination, &C
cording to the statement made last
evening by one of his warmest sup
porters. His decision is the result OF
q conference held by a number of the
Sixth district party workers who were
IN attendance on the meeting Of the
state central committee last Tuesday
evening.
Among those present at the confer
ence were Alvah Eastman, Judge
Searle and James A. Martin, of St.
Cloud; A. N. Dare, of Elk River; w.
e. Lee, of Long Prairie; Senator
Buchanan, OF Little Falls; A. F. Ferris
and J. ]. Howe, of Brainerd, and a
number of lothers more or less promi-
nent in Sixth district politics.
1t was pointed out by some OF those
who participated in the conference that
the Van SAINT workers have already
commenced an active campaign that
would be hard to counterfeit with the
uncertainty of the position that Judge
Collins had taken. After the meeting
the judge Is said to have been APP
preached on the subject and acquiesced
in the general feeling that his resigna-
tion should be forthcoming within the
near future. His successor will be ap-
pointed by Governor Lind. Mime

The efforts of morning paper to
commit Justice L. w. Collins, of the
state supreme bench, to a declaration
of his intentions in the gubernatorial
contest, disturb the equanlmity OF that
gentleman slightly if at all. He was
at the Nicollet house this afternoon,
spending portion of his stay in con-
ference with Senator Thompson, of
southern Minnedota. To questions
relative to his entering the field, he re-
piled

not made up my mind to seek the
nomination; nor have determined
that will resign from the bench.
''This campaign promises to be SO
hard fought, it is SO essential that the
republican nominee possesses certain
qualifications, that hold no man has
a right to claim the honor simply be-
cause ne is ambitious, or because his
friends are urging him forward. The
party always should insist that it's
nomines be satisfactory. I cling to
the opinion thatin the present emer-
gencythe republicans OF the state have
the further right to weigh the avail
ability of candidate as to his ability
to defeat John Lind.

BOB DUNN,s WAY.

Republican papers are wasting a
good deal OF time looking about for "a
man to beat John Lind. 2 The way to
beat John Lind is to organize the
party, put good men to the front and
bad men to the rear, make the right
kind of q platform and be honest with
the people. With such a program
faithfully carried out, the man whom
the republicans nominate, whoever
he be, will beat ohm Lind. Princeton
