tends to be a good prisoner and hopes to
get out as soon as li Is minimum sentence
of three years has been served. He de
clares that his robbery of Perkins was
the first offense of that kind on his part.
The fact that he is a mere boy of 20
years bears out tho statement.

and net come money. He Invited and
forced Webber to accompany him, Web

subtracted a 10 bill from the editor's
pocket while Holmes pointed the gun at
him. Perkins declares that Webber
worked like an experienced hand in going
through his pockets. However, Perkins
has never before been held up for so
large a sum as 110.
After securing the tlO from Perkins the
two young bandits walked to Hradshaw,
where Webber had to have a toth pulled.
ine doctor kindly broke the $10 bill and
the bandits went on to York, where they
were arrested by the city marshal.
Holmes tried to hold the marshal up and
was shot down. When he lay on the
operating table to have eight perforations
of his intestines patched up, the nurse
sked him where to send his body. He
answered that he preferred to he burled
in York. He has consistently refused to
tell where his peoplo live. Holmes Is
rapidly convalescing and will himself
(oon be ready for trial. He will bo
charged with shooting with intent to kill.

RUSSIA ENJOYING A BOOM

(Correspondence of the Asscv Inted Press.)

forlng only for want of rifles, and when
It in properly supplied, at least J.om.oO"
additional soldiers will be thrown Into
the field with rcsil s which only next

opinion of a prominent American minimi
engineer, who has Just returned to Lon

Russian empire, mainly In SRicrln, where
he Is the chief engineer of an Important
group of mines. Describing conditions In
Russia, ho said:
"Tho depres8ion which prevailed out
side Russia during the great Herman
drive through Poland was hover really
duplicated In that country. Domestic
troubles existed as always, but the people
have made their power folt as never be
fore, and the only thin that could
cause revolution now would be tho con
clusion of an unfavorable ponce with the
central powers.
"The people of Russia are enjoying
something In the nature of a boom, ana
the cost of living of tho R isln peasant,
who does not require luxuries, has not
appreciably Increased. The Hush, an peas
ant Is not an imaglnntlre Individual, and
tho lossea suffered In the war has not

lossea incurred In tho great retreat weio

'Even the generally admitted shortage
of rifles, the wastage of which has been
Unprecedented, Is not causing the liu.
slana much concern, as tho staif has
realised that tho rifle used by Infantry
Is not an effective arm. The Russian
army Is now well supplied with heavy
guns and munitions snd the Infantry Is
being supplied with thousands of machine
guns. In attacking, the Russian Infantry
man almost Invariably detaches tha
bayonet from his rifle and uses It as a
knife when he leaps Into the -orman
trenches. He has even been known to
discard both rifle and bayonet, relying
on a club to win a trench.
"For the greater pait of the war we
have used Austrian prlsonera as miners
In our mines, but lately we have been re
ceiving Germane from the government
prisoners labor bureau. These Germans
In the main are absolutely unfit for hard
labor, must of them being old men with
gray bears, while others arc of the

glasses with thick lens. A staff officer,
who la closely connected with tho pris
