Marshal Ireland and party. Depui
Vandercook, who was acting under il
structions as well as Under firm convictio
that such step was necessary, apple
to General McCook for posse of soldier
to accompany him on the trip in order t
guard against any outbreak which NIGH
possibly arise at Ogden or in this city O

Arriving at Ogden, the whole party was
transferred to the G. p. train, which wa.

had been summoned earlier in the day
also A. E. Hyde, of this city. Doctors
Potter and Carnahan examined Cannon's
injuries and found that his nose had been
dislocated, that there was cut over the
eye and rather severe bruises on one
arm and on the left side of his face. Dur
ing part of yesterday he had been some
what delirious, condition probably re-
sulting from the cut on his head, and no
doubt promoted by excitement. In view
of his condition he had been promised by
Marshal Ireland that they would not re-
move him till this morning, and he chung
on to this promise last night with good
deal OF persistence when it was talked of
bringing him down on a special, which
could have arrived here at about 2 O'Clock
this morning.
Marshal Ireland and Captain Green
man were asked respecting Cannon's es-
cape and recapture, also about the
alleged attempt on the part of Orson
Arnold to bride Sheriff Fellows. Cap
tain Greenman stated that all he knew
about the bribery" was that the Sheriff
told him that he had been approached

Arnold proceeded on to California.

says, had but just jumped, ard the train

most from the spot when the alarm was
given by the Marshal, and the deputy, as

lropped. Greenman started out at a |
lively pace along the track in pursuit of
lis man but, Notwithstanding it was al
eady daylight, he was unable to see the
Gentleman anywhere ahead but this was
argely due to the remarkable curve in
he road at that point. When first seen
