4 Salt Lake dispatch of the Both
gives the following particulars Of the
arrest of The Mortello train robbers.
Last night at 10 o'clock Mr.. Dooley,
agent Of Wells, Fargo ~ Co. At this
place, received = 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 captured aud had just been
brought TO that place by J. .. Black.
Il seems hat an attacking party had
been organized at Desereti who went
70 Swassy Springs, about 81 miles
north OF Deseret Station, on the Utah
Southern Railroad. The attacking
party surprised two Of the robbers,
Nay and Hawley, at = horse corral or
range, when they were ordered TO
surrender. Upon a refusal they then
began firing, - shots being ex-
changed between both parties. The
horses OF the two robbers were killed
outright, and Nay was morally
wounded, being shot through the
body aud legs. The attacking party
received no %lnjuriers. HaTley WAS
also shot through the legs. Their
comrades, Frank, Francis, Rose, An
derson and Cobb, are intrenched in a
formidable stockade, and are sur
rounded by a party sent out by Dooly
from Deseret, and the besieging party
are expected to be reinforced by a
party commanded by Officer Deai and
Sheriff Brown Of Ogden, who were
sent out by The Central Pacific Com
pany from Montello. 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 how
itzer I o dislodge them. The wounded
robbers have confessed all. They
say they were engaged in the Ieep
Creek robbery, as well as the attack
on the c. p. train. They number
seven in all, and say they wanted 10
make ore good haul and then retire.

Earl, ms of the robbers, came out of
the retreat and started up the canon

WILLING TO DIvID THE POT.
Sheriff Brown said: After all the
arms had been taken and the men
were under arrest, Sheriff Turner
called Captain Deal, Deputy Sheriff
Polk and myself to one side and said,
',gentleman, we have had the good
fortune TO get those other two men,
but your men have been on the track
and following it up, and ! yesterday
made mention to Mr.. Thacker that
you gentlemen had been following
the party up very closely. and ie ease
we met with success we would divide
the various rewards offered equally
between your party and Il party.
And now, since our party has cap
tured two, and our combined parties
have succeeded in capturing these
three, we have, after consultation,
agreed to divide the pot equally be-
tween your party end ours" The
