Modest About Good Fortune.
Mrs. Collins when sought for veri-
fication Of the good fortune, was mod
est and even timid regarding it. She
said it had been kept practically sec
ret in the family and that they were
anxious that the boys should not know
too much about their fortunes until
they became older. She was anxious
that the story not be printed.
The Collins family are old residents
of the Third ward, but they are leav-
ing soon to live in Oskaloosa. Mr.. Col
Inns run has been transferred to head
quarters and the family will move
about Aug. Is.
