Jones to a Mail reporter. “Two boys, apparently about four- teen and sixteen years old, stopped Walter Turner in the road and with drawn revolvers demanded his mon- ey. He told them that he only hada little change, but if they were hard up he wo Aid give it to them, and he did so. When the boys had obtained the money and Mr. Turner had ridden a little distance away they started off across a field. It was about eight o'clock and so dark that Mr. Turner could not get a good deseription of the boys. The robbery occurred between the farms of Mr. Newton and Dr. Price, and this morning the young rob- bers were followed about half a mile. They wore shoes which were run down at the heels.

This system is now to be minutely described and elaborately pictured; and by way of preface to the first illustrated paper Mr. Kennan will, ina brief state- ment, answer the question as to how he came to enter upen his arduous and somewhat perilous investiga- tions, and why he and his compan- ion were accorded such extraordina- ry facilities by the Russian govern- ment itself.
