a purpose in view ever struggled hard
er than did he to round out his pos
sessions and keep them intact. 1t was
case of make or break with him, from
the ''turn-loose,' and though disaster
stared him in the face many d time,
and while he has gone hungry to save
his property. he never once thought
of surrendering. Up to date. by hook
and by crook, he has spent something
like 100000 in the development of the
mines, which contain all grades of
coal, from the ordinary soft article,
used for domestic purposes, to the
best grades of coking and anthracite.
Effort to Thwart Him.
Last spring, when he was on his
back and isolated with a case of small
pox, a petition was filed in the local
land office, praying that his entries
be Cancelled. He was accused of not
having complied with the law in keep
ing up his work. When he recovered
he asked the land Office to send rep
resentatives to his property and see
what had been done. Two experts
went down and made a thorough eX-
animation, and reported back that Mr..
Robbins had complied with the law in
every particular and declared that he
had done all that was necessary to en-
title him 10 government patent upon
the payment of the required price per
acre.
Then ne sought outside aid Two
weeks ago experts representing the
men who have agreed to help him OBJ
tain the patents made an exhaustive
examination and then reported favor
ably on the proposition The result
was the deal consummated yesterday.
Mr.. Robbins left last night for camp
to look after matters on that end of
the line. From now on he intends TO
make things hum at the mines, and
it is now predicted that within an
other year or two he viii be known
among the big coal operators of the
: west.

Robbins. These are the men who a
few days ago, as chronieled in The

and to deposit 100000 in cash in
local bank as an evidence OF good
faith. All of the details surrounding
the transaction were not released by
Mr.. Robbins previous to his departure
for Huntington on the evening train,
but sufficient data was given by him
to show that the deal is one of the
most important closed in this state for
many a. long day. By the terms or
the agreement reached with the per-
sonaI representatives of a powerful
combination of Chicago. New York and
Boston wealth. the identity of whom
Mr.. Robbins for the time being re-
fused to disclose, it is made apparent
that he will soon be classed among
the millionaires of the state.
Mr.. Robbins owns between 10000 and
10000 acres of the finest coal lands in
Utah. They are located at the head
OF Huntington canyon, in the corner
of Carbon and Emery counties, and

company at Scofield. The syndicate

Mr.. Robbins with S750,0O0. which he
will use in developing and patenting
his mines, giving a mortgage on the
properties to secure the money.
Much of the land comes within the
fifteen-mile limit of a railroad and will
consequently have to be paid for at
the rate OF $40 per acre, while the

eminent at $40 per acre.

III ASHINGTON. Nov. 21.-The state
w department has been informed
that Godfrey Hunter, jr.. son of
the United States minister at Guate-
rala city, today shot and killed vii
liam FITZGERALD of Grand Rapids, Mich.
Hunter has taken refuge in the le-
cation and an interesting question has
arisen as TO his exemption from ar
rest.
Important details are lacking in the
report of the affair." which has come
to the state department, and the Of
fciaIs are in doubt as to what should
be done They have no notion of sur
rendering, without protest, an Amer
lean citizen to the local courts OF
Guatemala, unless satisfied that the
man IS a proper subject for punish
ment
Even then. it is not at all certain
that the department itself has the
right to waive any legal exemption
that the man might have Inter
national law lays down the precept
that an ambassador. or minister, may
not of his own accord surrender any
such exemption in his own case
A closer inspection of the original
advice reveals the fact that the only
name by which the man was known
was Fitzgerald He had not the Chris
tan name William, as was supposed
at first He was shot four times. An
other important fact developed was
that young Hunter was accompanied

 Candidate for the Senatorship.

Milwaukee Special to Washington Post
 Governor La Toilette, since his great victory over Mayor Rose, has shown no signs of being friendly toward Senator John C. Spooner. In fact. the word comes from Madison. the State capital. today, that La Toilette is already making plans to defeat Spooner for reelection.
 The general assembly is overWhelming- ly Republican. and although it contains many members who are pledged to the Senator, there are a goodly number who are yet stanch for the Governor and it is these he will use to whip into line every lawmaker who faVors SpoOner.
 It is said that the Governor has can didate for the high office, but who he is cannot be learned. Some believe it is ex-Congressman Isaac Stephenson, La Follette's financial packer and adviser or Thomas McGill. general attorney of the Wisconsin Railroad
 A conference has been hastily called for Madison this week, when the Governor s managers will decide on the course to pursue. After this meeting La Toilette will go north on a fishing trip and on his return the candidate may he announced Spooner refuses to talk on the subject to newspaper men, but to his close friends has declared that much trouble can be expected from the Governor, notwith- standing Spooner's tireless work for La Toilette on the stump.

John Scanton Kills Dr. Kimberlin and Himself Because Latter, He Said, Had Caused Loss
 of His Sight

Kansas City, Mo. Nov. 11.-Dr. W. H. inent occulist was shot and killed in his office in this city this afternoon by John Scanlon. formerly a policeman, who then shot and killed himself. The bodies of both men were found in the doctors of- flee Dr. Kimberlin was shot three times and both must have died almost instant ly.
 Scanlon. who is the brother of a prom inent local politician. asserted, 1t is said, that Kimberlin had caused him to lose his eyesight.
 Scanlon left a note on the dresser in which he had written: Notify my broth CT at city hall. I did this because he de- stroyed my eyes"
 Scanlon had been receiving treatment from Dr. Kimberln for about two weeks. He entered the physicians office unseen, and it is not known how long he had been there. Another patient who was waiting in an outside office said:
 'I heard Scanlon go into the doctors private office and I heard he and the doctor talking. There was no quarrel or loud words until pr. Kimberlin cried out, Oh don't John.'
 "The shots followed immediately. A bullet came through the wall and passed l over the chair from which I had jumped when the shooting began"
 The first person to enter the room was Dr. Kimberlin's son, also a physician, who is proprietor of a drug store situat- cd in the ground floor of the building. l Both men lay on the floor covered with 1 blood and dead. Scanlon had shot him. | self through the temple, the bullet tear ing away the upper part of his face. | Dr. Kimberlin was 5S years of age and had practiced in Kansas City for the past thirty years. Scanlon was G years of age and single. He lived formerly at Breckenridge, Mo He had worked as fireman on the Burlington Railroad and later as patrolman on the Kansas City police force.

 And it was. Years after. when its outspread branches had come so close to the caves of the house that practical ad- visers urged its being cropped off, the mistress would never hear of its being touched and charged her descendants with its protection.

New York Sun.
 In front of an old house down on the South Santee River between Georgetown and Charleston. s. C.. there stands tree that Washington saved from destruction.
 Washington's name seems bound to be identified in the public mind with tree stories of one sort and another. But this great live oak would really have been cut down and carted off just Ill years ago if this country's father had not expressed a wish that it be allowed to stand.
 The tree was young when Washington made his tour through the Carolinas and Georgia in 1791. He travelled with his own coach ard four over a route mapped out with especial care that some of the notable plantation homes should be con venicnt for resting places.
