If 1t can and will do so the vessel will
be allowed to remain in San Francisco
harbor and complete these repairs. If
not, the Lena, in the opinion of the off,

accept the alternative OF putting to

Ship Needs Repairs.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 13.-Secre-
tary Morton today received a report
from Rear Admiral Goodrich, COM
mander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet,
stating that he had inspected the Rus
sian transport Lena, in San Francisco
harbor, and found it genuinely needed
repairs. The report has been referred
to the state department for action. 1t
shows that to make the temporary re-
pairs to the boilers and machinery Of
the transport Lena it would require
six weeks time. The captain of the
vessel claims it needs new boilers and
if the request is allowed to put these
in, no less than eight months will be
required.

A DARING
H0LD-UP
Bandits Rob Passenger Train
Near Muscatine, Iowa, Early
This Morning.
SECURE MUCH BOOTY
Estimated That Robbers 0btsined Be-
tween $40, 600 and $4,000
From Express Car.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 13.-Five ban
dts successfully held up passenger
train on the Rock Island Railway near
Let's, shortly after midnight this
morning. The statement of the ex-
press officials is that they secured no
money, although the safe was blown
open and the contents taken, the off,
cials averring that the safe contained
merchandise of some value, but no
money. A posse of mounted men with
bloodhounds are now securing the
country for miles in every direction in
an effort to apprehend the robbers.
The robbery occurred at 1906 at a
place known as Whiskey Hollow, six
miles out of Muscatine and near Fruit
land The train robbed is known as
No. II, and is the through Chicago and
Kansas City train. The robbery was
at the end of sharp curve, exactly
where a similar holdup was engineer
ed two years ago by the Chicago car
barn bandits. The engineer, as the
train rounded the curve, saw a red
lantern on the track and Immediately
stopped the train. The engine, express
and baggage cars were then boarded
by the robbers, apparently five in num-
ber. A fusilade of shots We're fired to
intimidate the passengers. The mes
senger of the express car was compell-
ed to open the door. The safe was dy-
namited and its contents taken, after
which the engine crew was compelled
to leave the engine, which was cut OF
and the robbers mounting it, ran west
to within two miles of Columbus juno
ton, where the engine.was left stand
ing on the track. The manner in which
the robbers handled the engine con-
vinced the officers that some of them
are experienced railroad men.

Office has authorized the Associated
Press to deny a report circulated by

feet that 5000 men of Lieutenant Gen.
eral Zassalitch's corps have been cap
tured, to deny the report from the
same source that he had been wound
ed, and also deny statement from
Toxic that dunn dunn bullets were used
by the Russians at Lao Yang.
Will China Interfere?
St Petersburg, Sept. 13.-Reports
that Chinese troops are concentrating
in the valley of the Liao River
are causing considerable concern here.
The Bourse Gazette thinks that it is
probable that the Chinese government
will formally propose to undertake to
guard and to administer the territory
actually occupied by the Japanese,
adding that to, this the Japanese will
doubtless readily acquiesce, as it will
relieve Japan from guarding her lines
of communication. In other words, the
Chinese troops will become auxiliaries
of the Japanese. China will thus be-
come actually an ally of Japan.

The convention hall and galleries
during yesterdays afternoon and night
sessions, were crowded and great in
terest was taken in the proceedings by
the people. The nomination of Sen
ator Andrews was received with great
satisfaction and is evidently very
pleasing to the people of Albuquerque
regardless of politics. Is is freely pre-
dicted here that he will carry the coun-
ty by from 1900 to $500 majority, as
he is personally and we'll known, great
ly liked and very popular. He is con-
sidered an Albuquerque man, but one
who will be fair and watchful of the
interests of every section of New Mex
leo.
On account of the lateness from the

which has the mails on board, and
which is Ave hours late, as the New
Mexican goes to press, this paper is
unable to publish the proceedings of
the convention in full today, but will
do, so tomorrow.
" The news Of the nomination of Sen
ator Andrews received this morning
was hailed with great delight by the
people of this city and is considered
excellent in every respect. Many lead
ing Democrats consider that it is a
very strong nomination and state that
they would have carried this county by
500 majority against any other candi-
date. Now they give it up as lost to
them.
Praises and concentrations of the
action of the convention in the nomi, |

during that term did very valuable and

WILLIAM SKINNER,

William Skinner is one of those
men who, although fortune did not
decree that he should be one of the
Fifty-fourers, yet arrived at the new
settlement while the country was yet a
wilderness and the grass was growing
long and untrodden where this CITY
now stands. It was in 1855 that with
his wife he joined a party seeking a
"hazard of new fortunes" and cover
ing the miles between here and
St. Paul behind oxen, took up the
work with the others of subduing the
wilderness. His claim was in town
Milford. At the time of the massacre
he moved his family to St. Peter for
safety and then returned himself to
help in the defense of New Ulm.
Mr.. SINNERS worth has been recog-
nized by his fellow citizens and he has
had the offices Of justice of the peace
and county commissioner and was on
the first grand jury called in the
district. In 1876 he represented his
district in the legislature Mr.. Skinner
was born in Bradford county, Pennsyl-
vania November rs, 1929. In his early
years he was harness maker.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1904-10-05

Mr.. KlOssner can recount the time
that he arrived in the neighborhood of
New Ulm. He says when the steam
boat on which he came up the river
reached the point where the city now is
they told him it was the place selected
for city but there was no evidence
then of habitation and they proceeded
farther up the river to the Pfaender
place and there unloaded what goods
they had, and proceeded by OK team
out into what is now Lafayette town.
ship where he and his brother took up
a homestead, upon which his brother
is still living. Those were the times,
Mr.. Klossner says, when men and
women knew what work and hardship
were. The making of profitable farm
in a new country with little or no
machinery, with very little money and
poor means of transportation is task
for only young and strong men and
women. Mr.. Klossner looks back now
upon the pioneer days with pleasure,
but he says he is glad they are past.
