JUDGE GIVES robson SEVEN YEARS
Tried to Kill Fred Foster, . BARBER of
Algona, with Wife's Acq uiescence.

Tried to Kill Fred Foster, o BARBER of
Algona, With wife's Acquiescence.
Algona, March Tack Robson, the
man who confessed to the shooting
of Fred Foster, barber of this town,
some weeks ago, has been sentenced
to seven years in the Anamosa peni-
tertiary. He plead guilty on the
stand before he was given his SEN
tence. 1t will be remembered that
Robson was tracked through the
snow to his home, after he assaulted
Foster on the streets of this town.
The wife of Foster, who has been on
friendly terms with Robson, was sus-
pected of knowing something of the
attack on her husband before it was
made. She was pressed closely by au-
thorities and finally confessed that
she had iHstigated the attempted
murder, prompted by desire to get
her husband out of the way so that
she would he free to carry on her
friendship with Robson. When she
made her confession in the presence
of her husband she broke down and
wept bitterly. Her husband shook
hands with her as he lay on his bed
suffering from the bullet wound she
lad been instrumental in INJECTING,
and told her he thought a term in
the penitentiary would do her good.
Robson, as the perpetrator of the
deed, was given his trial before Mrs
Foster.

RUSSIA'S HOLD is FIRM
Startling Story Told by a German
Correspondent.

Berlin, March 1.-The Tageblatt's
special correspondent, who has been
travelling in northern Manchuria,,
Mongolia and on the borders of ST.
IBERIA and China for n year, and whose
reports hitherto have been correct
without exception, has furnished his
paper with a long letter which is just
published, containing interesting de-
tails regarding the RuSso-Chinese
agreement on the subject of Man
churia, Mongolia and Turkestan. He
says he is absolutely certain that the
published version of this agreement
is in no way near the actual truth.
He then proceeded to give facts con-
corning the proposed internal admin
istration of that part of China, dem
onstrating that Manchuria will be-
come an integral part of Russia, more
so than even Bokhara- In regard to
Mongolia. he says there is no doubt
a protectorate has been established,
as this is evidenced by the hosting
of Russian flags everywhere, the
thorough organization of the dis
trict, the establishment of taX-col-
Letting offices and the opening of
branches of Russo-Chinese banks,
with no one but Russian officials in
charge. All this, virtually, has taken
place during the past six months and
began during the Boxer outbreak.
The clearest evidence, however. is
contained in an army order issued by
General Grodekoff to the Siberian
troops, in which the general said:
"You have nobly fulfilled your task
of defending line $500 kilometers
long, on the frontiers of the Russian
empire, from Urga (Mongolia) to Kho
Shun, and have thrown back the
enemy across the threatened line"

the state pay the balance of the
amounts due. all being owed under

the protest of the hospital authori-

plished, he arriving there Thursday

CRISIS IN FAR EAST.


Original Trouble.
London, March "a crisis has
arisen in far eastern affairs, which,
in the opinion of the British govern
ment, is graver almost than the
troubles which originally turned the
eyes of the world toward the orienf.
In this crisis secret negotiations are
going on between the United States
and Great Britain with a view to
thwarting what both governments
appear to consider a determined at
tempt on the part of Russia to plant
herself permanently in one of the
richest tracts of the Chinese empire
--Manchuria.
The significance of the present
phase can only be appreciated by
those cognizant of the lethargic At
titude of the British government
hitherto regarding the Russian action
in China. Within the last few days
all this has changed. What a week
or two ago was pronounced only in
line with Russia's usual policy is now
termed "a grave and serious state OF
affairs"
Lord Lansdowne is using every ct.
fort to bring the powers into line, in
order to present to Russia such 4
menacing front that, without any
ambiguity regarding temporary OK
other occupation. she may give up
ali designs upon Manchuria.
What prompts the British foreign
Office to take such an alarmist view
OF circumstances usually looked upon
as fatulistic sequences, is the appre;
hension that Russia, having held her
own in spite of the protest of tn
ministers of the powers to The Chi
nese government and having iut her;
self on record in the reply to Sit
Charles Scott as determined on al
least a temporary occupation of Man
churia. will refuse to back down.
