GOOD CLASS OF IMMIGRANTS.

Minneapolis Times: The Northern
Pacific coast train left the Twin cities
last evening in two sections. In ad-
dition to the heavy coast travel of the
usual nature, some 600 colonists were
taken to North Dakota, Montana and
Washington, Fully one-half of the
number were ticketed through to
Washington. They were brought in
to the Twin cities yesterday morning
by the Northwestern, Milwaukee,
Great Western, Wisconsin Central and
st. Louis. The Great Northern took
out about AGO. They were handled by
the Great Western and Wisconsin Cen
trail. The former took care of 1875
passengers from Kansas City and Chi
cago. The Central brought in a spe-
elal of six coaches. Many of the. other
Chicago lines also ran specials to ae-
commodate the, business. a5
The, class of colonist business is con-
coded to be ,le highest kind. With

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION.

PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION.
The preliminary examination alnli,srtto Of Of
James and Ira Jenkins charged by the
coroner's Jury VIII the murder of
August Stark at the Casino coal mine.
is progressing before Justice Tibbals
this afternoon. The hearing was be-
gun at 2o'ctock and the principal wit
ness at the hearing up to 5 O'clock
was James Jenkins, father OF Ira Jen-l
kins, charged with being the perpe-$
traitor of the deed. The confession
secured by States Attorney Allen from
the fatherSas to the manner of the
crime, was the principal evidence in
the case, although this time, instead Of
being made to the states attorney
alone, it was made Of the witness,
stand before the justice. The manner
of the murder as detailed by the father
is as given in the Tribune afeW days
ago, when the confession was an,
nounced. Briefly it was to the effect
that the murder had been committed
in the evening after Ira jenkins and
Stark had returned from Wilton. That
the dispute in which the murder oc-
CURED or that was the reason for it
was over aclaim owned by Stark that
was wanted by Ira jenkins. The
murder, according to the fathers. tes-
timony, happened while he was absent
from the house, and he was told of it
by his son while he was returning. A
number of details We're given of the
agreement on the following day to tell
the story that was told before the
coroner. When the body was dragged
into the mine the father did not know.
Some exhibits in the case, which
will be used in confederation Of the
story, were brought down by Coroner
81 White. Among them is the carpet
from which a piece was cut, it having
been splashed with blood, and a door
that bears evidence of the crime.
Ira Jenkins was in court and faced
his father, while the latter gave tes-
stimony that was to fasten the crime
of murder on his, son.
