SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
Arrest of Two eff the MonteIic Train
SALT LAKE, Jan. S0.-Last night a. 10
| O'Clock Mr.. Dooley, agent of Wells, Fargo
i Co. at this place, received a telegraphic
message dated at DeSeret, Utah, stating
that Orrin Nay and Frank Hawley, two of
the robbers engaged in the Central Pacific
train robbery at Montello, had been cap
tured, and had just been brought to that
place by J. s. Black. 1t seems that an
attacking party had been organized at
Deseret, who went to Swassy Springs,
about 80 miles north Of Deseret Station,
on the Utah Southern Railroad. Inc
attacking party surprised two OF the rob
bers, Nay and Hawley, at a horse corral
or range, when they were ordered to sur
render. Upon a refusal, they then began
firing, 70 shots being exchanged between
both parties. The horses of the two
robbers were killed outright, and Nay was
mortally wounded, being shot through the
body and legs. The attacking party re-
ceived no injuries. Hawley was also shot
through the legs. Their comrades, Frank,
Francis, Rose, Anderson and Cobb, are
intrenched in a formidable stockade, and
are surrounded by a party sent out by
Dolly from Deseret, and the besieging
party are expected to be reinforced by a
party commanded by Officer Deal and
Sheriff Brown of Ogden, who were sent
out by the Central Pacific Company from
| Monticello. This party was at Deep Greek
last Friday, and will make the Junction
to-day. The robbers are all well fortified,
and it may be found necessary to use a
howitzer to dislodge them. The wounded
robbers have confessed all. They say they
were engaged in the Deep Greek robbery,
as well as the attack on the G. P. train.
They number seven in all, and say they
wanted to make one good haul and then
retire. Nay and Hawley will be brought
to this city tomorrow, arriving here at 10
A. NJ. Those in the stOckade will be
guarded by a posse and ordered to sur
render, and in case of refusal the mountain
howitzer viii! be brought TO bear to demol-
ish the structure. The robbers show con-
siderable bravery, and say they will so
down before they surrender.
Removal of EaiIeIujah Cox.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Dr. Halliday
Hallelujah Cox, Pension Agent at San
Francisco, will be removed. To your COR
respondent to-day Commissioner of PEN
sions Dudley said; Il am waiting to hear
from Special Agent Morgan that he has
got Hills money in his possession. When
that is accomplished I will remove Cox
Immediately" Senator Miller has sent all
the papers he has received from Zabriskie
and DR.. Cox to Dudley. The latter says
he is satisfied that q deliberate attempt
was made by Cox TO defraud Hill, Miller
wrote Agent Cox, asking him to see that
nobody defrauded Hill, or swindled him
out of his funds. OF the $4,000 given
Aiken 81, 200 has been returned. Dudley
says the reason why Morgan would not
consent that Hill should sign the receipt
for the 81, 900 returned by Cox was, that
the Government did not want any receipt
signed that could be regarded as a legal
exoneTation OF Cox.

Decision In a Railroad Suit.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The suit known
60 the Adams and McConnells VS.. the ST.
Louis Il San Francisco Railroad, to re-
cover damages FOR excessive freight charges
under the STATE Law prescribing maximum
rates, was decided in the United States
Circuit Court to-day. The defense was
that the St. Louis & San Francisco Rail-
road is exempt from State legislation IS
regards rates charged for freights and
fares, because it holds an original fran
| chise by the State to the southwest
branches Of the railroad. which gave the
road the right TO prescribe its own rates,
and because II holds the franchise of the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company,
created by the National Government.
Judge Geiger took this view Of the case
aud decided for the railroad company.
The auit is specially important, because
this case decides q large number Of other
suits.
\ Demand by Red Cloud
WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. Red Cloud, in
an interview to-day with the Secretary OF
the interior and the Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs, demanded a restoration OF
his horses or the cash. The Commissioner
OF Indian Affairs remarked that the whole
number OF horses taken from the Sioux
up to date was 1000, which were sold for
S19. 400, and that the War Department
could not satisfactorily account for the
proceeds of these sales. This fact, he
added ironically, was q strong argument
in favor Of transferring the Indians to the
War Department. Red Cloud then said;
II want q new agent, McGilioaddy is a
bad man. He Is qusrgelsoule. and calls
us bad names. He steals cur supplies. |
Yoa take his word, and he steals from us.''
