Banish Twins

The police are making another effort to rid us of Eddie and Francis Collins, who for many years have been a worry to the officials. They are to be tried as to sanity today in Squire DixonÂ’s court, and if they are proved insane, request is to be sent in at once for their admission to the asylum. Both boys have been sent to the poor asylum several times, but always would run away, stay at Terre Haute for a few weeks, and like the bad penny would soon return.
