A SENSATIONAL STORY.
Bill Rudolph Said to Have Gone -
HIS Fathers Farm and Secured
Last of Robbery Loot.

Union, Mo-, July 21.-After an un-
precedented career of the sensational
and brayado, another startling chap
ter was addeded Monday morning to
the Rudolph-Collins case.
To-day Pinkerton detectives from
ST. Louis and federal men from Stan
ton, Mo-, are securing the countryside
near that town in search of William
Rudolph, who, if the story be true,
daringly returned to his fathers farm
last week, secured the last or the Un-
ion bank robbery spoils, and made
good his escape. Without fear, he
seems to have entered this neighbor-
hood, which, on account of Collins,
trial, is veritable hot-bed of officials
and excitement.
This latest escapade of Rudolph
smacks of the fearless methods of the
outlaws from first to last.

the royal train was beautifully deco
rated. When their majesties alighted
at the station, which was also hand
somely decorated. they were received

supreme court is the deaf mute appro-

Soledad, Venezuela, Sunday, July
engagement between the govern

occupying Cindad Bolivar began in
two different directions. The revolu-
tionists opened the battle.
At six o'clock the smoke over Cui-
dad Bolivar was so thick that it was
impossible to see the city. At seven
o'clock the government troops, after
terrible fight, in which they lost
more than 100 men, captured the
cemetery. At eight o'clock the Ven-
ezuelan fleet consisting of five men-of-
war, shelled the government building
at Ciudad Bolivar.
At ten o'clock the revolutionists
flag had disappeared from the gov
ernment building and at IL all the
streets near that building were cap
tured by the government forces and
charge of all the government sol
diers in the city was ordered.
The wounded We're then beginning
to arrive at the government hospi-
| tails from all directions, and the fight
| was general, but the movements
could not be followed from here in
consequence of the smoke caused by
the fire of the artillery of the revolu-
| tionists, which seemed formidable. 1t
was answered vigorously by the gov
ernment guns and only few shots
reached the fleet.
AT two in the afternoon a block of
houses opposite the government
building was captured by storm.
The revolutionists seemed to be re-
sisting desperately.
The press correspondent will follow
the advance, with Gen. Rivas. The
latter is waiting for a signal from
Gen. Gomez. the Venezuelan COM

The spectacle in the streets of Cui-
dad Bolivar when the smoke cleared
away was heartrending. There were

streets, not counting the wounded.
