Tho Monticello Robhcra.

The Ogden Pilot Of yesterday devotes
nearly a column to the above subject,
from which We extract the following:
The account and capture Of these
men reads almost like a romance and
too much credit cannot be given to the
rosolute bands who. through the snow
and intense cold Of winter. tracked the
villains and brought them to bay. In a
hurried interview with Sheriff Brown,
the reporter learned the following:
cater meeting with Sheriff Turner"
said Mr.. Brown, i've joined our par
ties and wen on towards the canyon
where tho cabin Of tho robbers was
butt. On reaching the mouth of the
canyon, Mr.. Polk OF Nevada, and my
self, with three OF Turner's men, went
MP towards the house and sent in a note
to the robbers, by a boy, stating that
the house was surrounded and that they
might just as wall give up. In q few
minutes one Of the gang came ont and
walked down towards us. l halted him
and told him to go back, which no did,
and as he marched toward the house
he wHs joined by the other two. Then
oil three turned and cano down toward
US. When they got near enough 1
halted them aud they surrendered, say-
ing that all their arm woro In the
cabin, Very well, gentlemen said l,
Just walk down the canyon and they
did. But" added tho Sheriff. IL
haven't slept for some nights and have
ridden over 200 miles on horseback,
and I don't feel much like talking"
Nay. the wounded man, IL in a des.
pcrats condition. bcing shot through
the body, legs and in the arm. The
ball in tho body entered near the loft
shoulder, in front, and passing through,
lodging under the right shoulder in the
muscles Of tho back. His arm is fright
fully swollen and infamed, and there
In hardly q hopo for his recovery.
Hawley, the other wounded man. will
probably have TO submit to ampu,ation
Of his leg. These two men were cap.
tnred by Sheriff Turner and his party
from Provo. after a desperate fight, In
which some sovonly.hvo shots were ex-
changed. Fortunately. none Of the
SheriH's posse wsro wounded.
The robbers had evidently prepared
for . campaign and we're we'll provided
With nil tho requisites. They had
,~weDty-nine head of horses and numer-
u other thisgs, the result Of their Va
rious robbefies. Il Is tho same gang
that did tho Kelten stage robbery last
fall md the Deep Creek safs-breaking
aud murder some weeks since, aud the
names they give are NJ follows! Frank
Francis, aged 40 yOoro; Frank Hawloy,
aged %; Sylvester Earl, aged TO-; Erss.
,us Anderson, aged 10; ormus Nay
aged SO.
Earl and Anderson do not soem 10
realize tho fact that they stand in n
very unpleasant position, and proba.

tho most improved jesse James pattern,

continuity OF labor in tho Nevada

Siderably.
