FATE OF LOGAN AND ROBINSON CONFIRMED
Story Told b.v tlio Ncbruslm Member of the
I'urty In The Omaha Boo Substantiated
by Smithsonian Institute I'roTes-
sorg Inilliuu Confessed.
TUCSON , Ariz. , Nov. 24. The fate of James
liogan and R. E. Robinson , newspaper corre
spondent , who , with three companions , went
down the Colorado river from Yuma In the
sloop Examiner , has been corroborated from
reliable sources. They were killed with their
own rides.
On April 14 , 1S94 , the sloop Examiner
sailed from Yuma for San Francisco via the
Colorado river and the Gulf of California ,
On board wcro R. E. Robinson , James Logan ,
Charles Cowell , George Flavell , known as
'Clark , the Trapper , " and Morgan O'Brien ol
Falls City , Neb. On reaching Angel bay or
the gulf Cowell loft the party , and the other *
sailed southward. On June 5 a letter reached
Yuma from Gyaumas , Mcx. , dated May 31 ,
which had been sent by Flavell , and whlct
gave an account of the sloop's trip to Tlburr
Island , which Is close to the Mexican coast
and ot the- probable killing there by the In
dians 'of Robinson and Logan while hunting
on the Island. Flavell said In his letter that
lie and O'Brlpn only escaped because the )
wore on the beach at the time , and succeeding
in hauling out their boats before the Indlam
could shoot them. Later a letter was re >
celved from O'Brien giving details , and It wai
printed in The Omaha Bee last July. On re
celpt of thjs letter a telegram was sent b )
Robert Hornbrook , a Yuma newspaper man
to Reed , asking him to Invoke the aid of tin
state In learning the fate of Robinson am
Logan , and It they have been killed to pun
tsh the slayers. The State department aske <
for fuller Information. Pending an answe :
It was ascertained that Robinson , who wai
a newspaper man , had been the author o
some lurid tales , which had given him tin
reputation ot being a hoaxer , and It wa
thought that he had concocted the star :
and given It to the press tnrougn Clark
Nothing more was done In the matter by th
United States government , although the Mcx
lean government tent a troop of dragoon
to the Island , whoso search proved futile.
The story of the killing ot Robinson am
Logan Is now confirmed by Profs. McGco am
Dunwoodlo of the ethnological bureau of th
Smithsonian Institute , who are Just back fron
a trip ot forty days among the Indians. Tb
Indians first denied the killing , but flnall ;
admitted It , but would not point out th
murderers. They denlod that the men's re
mains wore served at a cannibal feast. Th
explorers , however , found no trace ot th
bodies.
The Indians have been a life study ot th
professors , who say the trlbo are the moa
primitive Indians they ever saw. The sa\
ages eat their moat raw and live entirely b
the chass and sea. About 400 ot them sui

Claim for Over Eight Thousnnil Against the
itnllroiid MnRimtn's \Vlclovr.
SAN FRANCISCO , Nov. 21. The First
National bank , through Samuel Q , Murphy ,
ts president , has sued Mrs. Colton , the
vldow of the late railroad magnate , David
Colton , for $8,250. The compla'lnt merely
states that Mrs. Colton is Indebted to the
> ank In the sum named , but behind the suit
s a story that revolves around the sale ot the
2olton mansion on Neb hill to-C. P. Hunt-
ngton.
When the Southern Pacific president de
cided to purchase a San Francisco residence ,
A. N. Towne recommended the Colton man-
lion on Neb hill. The relations between the
lluntlngtons and Mrs. Colton are not con-
; enlal , and all the negotiations were con
ducted through a third party. Mrs. Colton
ivas finally offered $275,000 for the property ,
and upon the advice of her friend and banker ,
President S. O. Murphy of the First National
jank , she accepted the offer. Recently , Mrs.
Colton desiring to close her account with the
bank , found $8,250 of her funds had been
withheld. She was told that $8,250 was com-
nlsslon duo President Murphy on the house
sale. Mrs. Colton refused to recognize this
claim , but the bank held the money. Then
the lady hit upon a plan lo get It. Her
checks wcro always honored , BO she drew
ono for $8,031 , leaving a small balance ol
(21G ( as a ruse. The amount was paid , and
later the cashier wrote her that her pay
ment was made by a misunderstanding , and
demanded Its return. Mrs. Colton laughed
amiably and kept her money. The suit Is In
the superior court as the outcome ot the
bank's unsuccessful efforts to recover the
sum.

ors. The ramifications of his operations ex-
end from Sydney , Australia , to Vancouver ,
