Some of the Los Angeles papers have correspondents somewhere in Arizona wbo each week cull
 from the weekly papers of the ter. ritory little item from which they
 weave wonderful romances. The specials from Nogales that appear in some of those papers are often admirable creations. Recently there appeared Nogales special" telling of the arrest of bad hom- bre named Vertreese, who carried gun which he refused to surren- der. The officers here, according to the Special" waited till he had emptied the gun shooting up a saloon, after which he was "over- powered" and arrested. MT. Yer treese is here all right and the story Is true except that he never refused to give up his gun. He never shot up a saloon in Nogales and his gun was full of loaded shells when he was arrested. It was not necessary to "overpower" him, because he offered no resist ence. He was not fined $100 but $25, because he pleaded to the court that he believed his life to be in danger on account of threats made against him and he was let off easy. When Nogales officers see man with gun they go after him at once and don ot wait till he empties his gun shooting up saloons. And, lastly, Vertreese is not looked upon by Nogales officers as very bad man. The story is about as reliable as most specials" from Nogales that are sent out by mail from Phoenix or Tucson ten days after the occurrences are for gotten here.

FINISH OF KOREA
Hermit Kingdom May Disappear
from Family of Nations.

After having been more or less bullied
for centuries by the neighbors, Korea
seems about to disappear from the fam
lily of nations. The process already has
begun and the next few years may see
one of the Oldest of the ancient c~iviliza-
tons wiped off the map.
The steps leading up to this unique re-
suit follow logically upon %Japan's effort
TO make the country a colonizing ground
for its own surplus population. The
Korean emperor and his foreign minister,
Pakchisun. have resisted japanese meth
DDS of government and publicly denounc-
ed them as outraging all the spirits of
their noble ancestors, but without avail.
Last week japanese guards surrounded
the emperor's palace, made him prisoner
and compelled him to sign an agree
ment, Japan having previously Modified
most of his advisers with substantial
sums of money. The agreement provides
that a japanese administrator shall gov
ern Korea under the emperor" and
that all Korean treaty ports and diplO-
matte affairs shall be henceforth in Jap
anese hands.
This is evidently the beginning of the
tuu LUZ IAOIcd. says Tic SulCdSo ~NCAc.
Japanese armies have overrun it in past
ages. For centuries it bowed in meek
submission to China and regularly sent
its ENJOYS on pilgrimages to inquire ten
derby after the well being of China's
rulers, contemporaneous and ancestral.
History records occasions when it had To
go into public mourning for its failure
to show proper respect to its sGzerain-
When, as q result of the war between
Japan and China, it gained a measure
of independence from this yassalage it
found itself on the point of being alb
sorbed by Russia. Now it meets mani
fest destiny in the form of japanese am
bition, for how the japanese admins
traitor who is to govern under the en-
peror' will run things is reasonably
clear. 1t is true that this is all at vari-
ance with the japanese treaty stipula-
ton, guaranteeing the integrity and au-
tonomy of Korea. But, as every one
knows, treaty agreements are binding
only when there are ships and guns to
back them up.

holesale LOOting Discovered by
Arrests mt st. Joseph. Mo.

Wholesale Looting Discovered by
Arrests mt st. Joseph, Mo.
In st. Joseph, No., the police arrest
ed seven men charged with stealing
more than $1,000 worth of merchandise
from the Burlington route freight cars.
They are Elmer Critics, Claude w. Hud-
son. John Agee. Thomas Lyle, Samuel
ID. Phillips. Charles Peterson and 3.
Thorpe. About $500 worth of mer-
chandise was recovered from the base
ment of Phillips store on the Dugout
road and vas identified by Burlington
detectives. 1t included a barrel of whis-
ky and 80 caddies of tobacco. The
gang would board a train as it left the
yards at night and throw off such goods
as they could while the train was pulling
out OF town. Later they gathered it up.
The police believe that Andy McWil-
liams, who is charged with the murder
OF James Stanield Nov. IA, is a mem
Der of the gang and that Stanfeld was
killed to prevent his informing the au-
thorities of some robbery it is believed
he witnessed. McWilliams is still at
large. The freight car robberies have
occurred frequently for the last ear and
the freight officials declare the total loss
CT the railroads entering st. Joseph
amounts to at least $4,000. 1t is believ-
ed three different gangs have been OPP
Grating. Herman Wenzel and two sons,
Carl anG Rudolph, were arrested several
lays ago and are now awaiting trial,
charged with robbing the Grand Island
and Santa Fe freight cars. A large
amount of stolen goods was found at
the Wenzel home. Phillips made a con-
fession concerning the Burlington rob-
berries.
