IOWA ROBBER KILLED
Walter Miller Of Fort Madison, Fatal
Iy Shot by Minneapolis Detectives
While Engaged in Hold up.

Minneapolis, Aug. 24.-Chosen by
highwaymen as hold-up victims, two
Minneapolis detectives Saturday night
battled with robbers at Elliot avenue
and Twenty-sixth street.. They shot
both highwaymen, woupding one fatal
ly. He died at 1870 a. M, in the city
hospital. The other escaped.
Detectives Harry Hayes and Andrew
Crummey, with nearly thirty others
detectives and patrolmen in plain
clothes-were detailed Saturday night
to be held up. Hayes and Crummey
were sent to the block between Twen-
ty-ffth and Twenty sixth streets, on
Elliott avenue, where several h0ldups
walked up and down the block several
times without passing anyone.
They carried heavy revolvers in
paper sacks like packages of fruit.
Walking toward Twenty sixth street,
they saw two ,unmasked men approach
ing. Both were we'll dressed, and at
first were not suspected, altho they
had just robbed a man in the next
block. But as they came up to the de-
tectives, one said: these will do
Hold up your hands," cried the
other. and they leveled their revolvers
at the detectives. The man who after
ward escaped, had two revolvers; the
other carried one.
Up went the hands and the paper
sacks. Each highwayman fired a bull
~ h;c.i y,fo vic.
tim Hayes raised his sack high and
aimed the revolver down. When the
robber fired, Hayes fired. One bandit
threw up his hands and dropped to the
ground. The other stepped back and,
as he he did so, Crummey fired at him.
The robber staggered back, but re-
gained his balance and shot at Hayes,
who was watching the wounded man.
AS Hayes turned to follow the other,
the wounded man got up and again
leveled his revolver. Hayes saw the
movement. Hating, he shot the man
again. This time the bullet passed
thru both legs.
The captured bandit was taken to
the, hospital. There he gave his name
as Walter Miller. He said his home
was in Fort Madison, Iowa, and that
his fathers name, he said, is Leonard
Miller. He refused to give the name of
his associate and lapsed into uncon-
seriousness shortly after he was placed
on the operating table. He, was shot
above the right ear and thru both legs.
He died at 1880 a. m.
In the prisoners clothes were found
letters addressed to Walter Marsh at
the Royal hotel ON Washington avenue
S. These and few trinkets were the
only things found.
Miller said he was "a years old. He
is about five feet and ten inches tall
slender, has fair complexion and
brown hair. His teeth are white and
there are several gold filings. None
of the detectives remembers having
seen him before.

Corn Depends on Frost.

Traer, Aug. 24.-Unless there is an
extremely early frost, this vicinity will
have one of the greatest corn crops
known in the history of the state, &C
cording to the statements of reliable
farmers. Some apprehension was felt
before the last timely rainfall, as the
corn was in great need of it. Since the
rain, however, there is no counting on
at least eighty bushels to the acre, and
some. on more than that.
A visitor from another state, who
has heard so much about the corn
crops in Iowa, resolved to test the
growth of corn near Traer, and found
out for himself. He measured the corn
for three days. and found that 1t act
ually grew six inches per day. Joe
Phillips has field Of corn on the Peter
McEwen farm, which was planted
about the first of June, that shows
many stalks ten feet high, with big
ears looping over. This is but a sam
pie of what the corn crop is all over

ARIZONA FORCES AHEAD.
Conditions in Territory of Arizona Are
 Steadily Improving,

According to the annual report of the secretary of the interior, re- gently published, conditions in Ari- zona are steadily improving. There has been a gradual increase in popu- lation, which is now estimated at
 lS5,0O0. The financial condition is
 better than ever before. Taxable
 property has increased in the last three years from S45, 100000 to S77,- 900, ,O00, and the rate of taxation has decreased. There is no difficulty in more than caring for the current ex- penses of the territory and the re- tirement of it's bonded indebtedness.
 The organization and use of the rangers have been most sa tisfac ctory in the enforcement of law and order.
 The annual school census taken in May of last year, gave B, 167 as the number of children of school age (6 to 2l years) in the territory. The total number of children enrolled in the schools was 26.37O. This appar- ently would indicate that nearly 5000 children fail to attend school; but it is explained that most pupils finish school at about the age of IS, al- though they are enumerated in the school census until they are 21. Practically all of the children who attend no school are of Mexican par entage To remedy the evil of nOn- attendance at school the late legis- lature enacted law which makes at tendance compulsory under severe penalties for parents and guardians. There were 293 school districts, em- ploving 626 teachers; los men and 51S women. The average monthly salary paid men teachers was S933O; tor women it was S7l OS.
 Not only is the mining wealth de- veloping very rapidly, but the agri- cultural possibilities have been enormously increased by the develop ment of irrigation projects and the experiments in dry farming.
