TO TRY UNION BANDITS.
Two cf Them to be Arraigned in
Missouri Court.
Union, Missouri, July 13. —The
term of the circuit court whcih open
ed hero today will likely be made
notable by the trial of the Union
robbers, Geodye Collins and William
Rudolph, the latter of whom created
a great sensation last week by his
daring ecaos from, the St. IjiuL- ,
ja,!l, where the two were comlned
awaiting trial.
Not since the extermination of the
Goffey\#lle gang which flourished
several years ago has this section
of tihle county produced two more
desperate criminals than Rudolph and
CLiJms, ne/th,or 'ot h.hom is more
than 21 years old.
On December 27 last, the two
young men rode into Union, terrorized
every one in the town, entered the
bank and stole $14,000 in currency
andi SIOO,OOO in securities,
They fled to Rudolph’s home, and
when surrounded by deputy sheriffs
escaped after killing one of the
posse.
In Rudolph's hoirjp the ofllcial
found a scrap of paper on which
was scrawled “ George Collins, Hart
ford.” The police of Hartford, Conn.,
were notified and they icunu that Col
.iti's’ stepfather, whose name was
La Plant, lived there with his two
sons. The house wa*- watched, and
on March 1 two men who left were
followed to a resort. 'This place was
urrounded and just then a carriage
drove up and from it stepped Col
lins and the two I.a Plant boys.
Collins war- captured after a se
vere struggle. Two detectives wem
into the house and there found Ru
dolph, who fought them with the f#i
oricity of a maniac.
He was subdued, howovnl, and .
locked up, together with the others.
.in La Liams house sß,(iSu, mos'ly
.■it gold. wa< found, with three revol
vers and a set. of burglars' tools.
Both Rudolph and Collins declared
they would never stand triil and
the former's sensational escape from
prison was no surprise as the two
men, despite their youth, are re
garded as the most desperate cri in
itials with which the Missouri authro
itles have had to ojeal for many
year*.

ARE AFTER
THE NEGRO
—4 —
Reported That Posse Now
lias Him Located
in Swamp.
KEEPING UP THE CHASf
Report Reached the City Yesterday
That He Had Been Captured
and Lynched, But There
Was No Truth in it.
That posse of Mclntosh county
people seem determined to capture the
negro brute. Ed Cleil-, who assault
a young white lady near Darien
Junction and they are still hot on his
trald.
Many different stories reached the
city yesterday concerning the cap
ture of the negro. One v.as to the
effect that he had been caught Sun
day night by the posse aud lynched
another was that he had been shot
dead and left In theswamp.
Neither of the stories, however,
proved to be true, and from last re
ports received from the vicinity was
to the effect that the bruie was still
at large. It is still believed that he
is in the swamp near Jesup and very
close watch is being kept in. that
neighborhood.
It was heard by the pos e yesterday
that the negro had been seen in Mc-
Intosh. county and a part of the posse
immediately went there, but he was
not found.
It is safe to predict, however, that
if the negro is captured, ho will not
live to be tried by a court.
Information from Darien was to Hit
effect that Miss Johnson, his victim.
was improving, and it is now believed
that she will recover.
The entire affair Jyas caused much
indignation W
At an early ffimr flns morning * t
was learned that the negro had been
located and his capture is expected
at any moment.
MEETING IS ABOUT OVER
Christian Endeavorers Have Had a
Very Successfc! Convention.
Denver, Col. July 13. —The great
Christian Endeavor convention is
drawing to a close, but this fact did
not in the least abate the enthusiasm
with which the delegates participated
In today’s preceedings of the great
est gathering of the Christian young
people that, has ever yet been held.
Most of the delegates will devoli
the rest of the week in sight se
ing in Denver and vicinity.
"Consecration" was the centra
thought in the score of more prayer
meetings that began at 6:30, and was
in fact the principal subject of i la
day.
Tent Endeavor was crowded at
every meeting and the vast audi
ences listened attentively to interest
ing addresses from, a number of emi
nent speakers. The regular noon
evangelistic service attracted crowds
of workers, who joined in the praise
with a seriousness that seemed to in
dicate regret that the last day ot
the convention was at hand.
Apart from the business aspect
which has surrounded the g.v boring,
there has been a social side to the
week's doings which was more no
ticeable than in all other conventions
held in this city. ,
Owing to the late spring and the
damp weather w'iiich has extended
unusually late into the summe.,
none of the prooiuinent people huvi
yet left for the seashore. So there
have been receptions without man
her, thouglh mostly of an informal
nature.
Tomorrow will finish the breaking
up of the crowd. Some will return
home, more will take in the excursions
to the mountains and other nearby
resorts.
A Farmer Straightened Out.

Pain Balm and told him to use it

it he need not pay a cent for it,” says
C. P. Rader, of Pattens Mills, N. Y.

as straight as a string and banded me
