ROBBERY THE MOTIVE.
Victims of Minneapolis Tragedy Had

M4!nassro..;; Il, arch IS Though
no clue has developed leading to the
apprehension of the murderers Of the
six Bulgarians killed in this city the
early part Of the week it is now al
most positive that robbery was the
object. So thriftily had each one Of
the murdered men lived his life now
cut short by thugs that it is said that
each may have saved an amount as
high as $1,000 and If that be true the
plunder of the assassins was large
sum In comparison with the $6O6
which escaped their search.
Nothing Of value to the police has so
tar developed from the arrest Of the
Duluth party except to identity the
men slaughtered in their meager home
on Tenth avenue.
These men have SO far made no sug-
gestion Of Importance as to who the
murderers may be, or, at any rate,
have not disclosed any feud or bitter
enmity that would justify suspicion Of
any individuals or murd erous cabal.
The men In custody have, by their
free talking. their ohao oto assist in any
way possible and their apparent guilt

the good will and confidence Of the
police who apprehended them and the
officers are about agreed that they are
not the lood.stained assassins Of their
oountrymen.
Thomas Wilson, clerk Of the Kelly
Hardware company OF Duluth, came
to Minneapolis with Detective Stavilo
and Identified the Ave knives found in
the house Of slaughter as those which
his firm sold last week. The firms
marks were on the knives as well as

corpses at the morgue and said that
none Of the men were in the party

LIVED ON PUTRlD HORSE MEAT
French Miners Existed In Shaft fol
Twenty Days.

French Miners Existed In Shaft for
Twenty Days.
Lens, France, March 31.The disas-
ter at the Courrieres coal mines had
q startling sequel during the day when
thirteen miners were taken out alive
after having endured twenty days OF
entombment. The story of the sur
Svivors discloses that they lived for
many days on putrid horse meat amid
total darkness and in the stencil from
scores Of decaying corpses. The pres.
ence of human flesh would sneedily
have forced the starving met to resort
to the last desperate extremity IL they
had not been rescued. The survivors
were sturdy young miners from seven
teen to twenty-five years of age except
their leader, Henri Nemy, who is
thirty. eight years old. All show the
terrible effects of their experiences,
being emaciated, exhausted and nearly
blinded. Their rescue caused tenn
porary nervous lucidity during which
they greeted their relatives and
graphically related their sufferings.
The doctors then enforced quiet upon
them, fearing the results OF fever and
poisoning from their diet Of decayed
horse flesh.
