greed and ayarice upon the one side
and the rights and interests OF the
plain people upon the other Adams

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Feb. 15-Between
and o'clock tonight, at the little town of
Neville, sixteen miles west of here, there
was one of the most daring hold-ups and
robberies known in this part of Indiana.
One man, with a veil over his face, robbed
two stores and two residences, wounding
Thomas Raper and Charles Burch, both of
whom are proprietors OF small business
houses.
1t was soon after Z o'clock that a small
man wearing a slouch hat. with veil over
his face. entered the Raper store and COM
manded Raper to throw up his hands. There
were two women and a young man in the
store, and the masked man said he would
kill the first person who moved Raper
started to get ak near a stove, and as
he moved the desperate shot at him, the
bullet entering the forearm. The man then,
with revolver in one hand, went to the
money drawer and emptied it.
He backed out of the door and went to
the store of Charles Burch, where he de-
manded that BUrch give him his money
or he would kill him and then take what
he could find. Burch hesitated and the man
fired, making a slight flesh wound Burch
then gave him about s., all the change
he had.
The maurader backed out of the door and
went to the house of a man named Jones'
where. with his revolver. he forced Jones to
deliver his pocketbook. From Jones s
house ne went a short distance to another
residence, the name of the owner not be-
ing known here, and by means of threats
secured all the money that the resident
possessed.
All four of the robberies were committed
so quickly that no one knew of the raid
until the victims began to excitedly call
for assistance to capture the robber. By
this time he had mounted a horse and was
riding at a rapid gait in a westerly direc-
ton.
The amount of money secured was less
than $l00. The sheriffs of both Monroe and
Green counties have been notified and a
posse of citizens started out from Neville
but has secured no trace of the bandit

Refugees Maltreated and Sent to
Port Arthur by Order of
Viceroy Alexieff.

NEW-CHWANG, Feb. II. delayed in
transmission. l-About fifty Japanese on their
way to Tien-Tsin were arrested at
Tai-Hi-Chou Feb II. with their wom-
en-, and arrived here in custody. The
American consul Henry T. Miller, pro-
cured the release of the women, but
Viceroy Alexieff ordered their rear
rest and transportation, together with all
the Japanese in Manchuria, to Port Arthur
Mr.. Miller based his action on assurances
the Russians gave the Japanese consul that
all Japanese subjects would be protected
and permitted to leave when they desired.
There are numerous Japanese complaints
of Russian ill-treatment. 1t is said that
four hundred Japanese refugees from Har-
bin and elsewhere, who arrived at Mukden
Feb. 10. were arrested. and that many of
them were severely beaten and detained un-
til they purchased their release. When they
were liberated the Japanese were sent in
open trucks to Tai-Hi-Chou, where they
were again maltreated and sent on to Port
Arthur Some of their women were sent
TO New-Chwang. Consul Miller took the
women under his protection and sent them
to Shan Hai-Kwan
Mr.. Miller protested to the civil adminis-
TRAITOR against the cruel treatment of the
requested census of all Japanese trans
ported to Port Arthur. The consul himself
was menaced by Cossack without provOca-
ton and the officer commanding at New
Chwang expressed his regrets and prom
ised TO severely punish the Cossack The
civil administrator promised to afford bet
ter protection TO the refugees.

The officers of the Russian gunboat
Sivoutch at New-Chwang declared they are
prepared TO blow UP their vessel in case
OF danger. They are using a searchlight
all night over the surrounding plains.
The constant telegraphic interruptions
threaten 10 complete the isolation of the
war zone, except by dispatch boats.
Admiral AleNieff has forbidden all ships
10 enter any of the ports of the Liao-Tung
peninsula. 1t is understood his object is
TO carry out the defense of the harbors
which hitherto have been neglected For
eigners are not permitted 10 move without
military permits.
The foreign ministers at Mukden appre-
hending a Chinese outbreak are sending
the missionaries with families away
The reports that Japanese ships have
been seen using searchlights off New
Chwang and off the coast of Nin-Chou are
untrue.
There are about 1900 Russian troops now
at New-Chwang.
