Sherln Brown Goes to Salt Lake to Settle
The Dispute as to VINO Shall get the
Reward Offered Them.
The Colorado officers who came into
the territory yesterday for Frank
Murray and James Bartlett were De-
leetives L-Omi and Berlew OF the Ara
paho county detective department.
The detectives were armed with re.
QuisItion papers and these were placed
in the hands of Governor West, who
it is said will not sign them until the
dispute as to who shall receive the re-
ward offered by the Santa Fe railroad
people for the capture OF the prisoners
is,se tied. Because of this and to have
the dispute settled Sheriff Brown went
to Salt Lake last evening. Deputy
Marshal Fowler accompanied him.
The prisoners are in jail here under
and in charge of Sheriff Brown and
not subject to the orders of the chief
CT police of SAIL Lake as the Salt Lake
papers Insist on saying. The men
committed Ourglaries and roDberles
here and they were arrested in Salt
Lake City by Officers Sheets and Fer
gusOn ON the strength of descriptions
and information sent from here. They
were not arrested by Chief of Pol ce
Arthur Pratt, OF Salt Lake city, and to
him made full confession as to their
identity and the crimes with which
they are charged" While the Salt
Lake officers had the men in charge
they knew Hnot who the prisoners
were. 1t remained for Sheriff Browns
trained eye to detect in them the men
wanted Ia Colorado, and to him, after
long pumping. they made the confes-
sion Chief Pratt had nothing what
ever to do with the matter but to come
down here and try to scare John Brown
into giving the men over 70 him after
he had learned that they were worth
5000. 90 hea,i, ard to continue to try to
get the rev ara offered, and to which he
has no just claim and of which not one
cent does he deserve.
There was a third man with Bartlett
and Murray who is also wanted in
Denver, Ted Newell by name. IT the
word of the men III Jail is to be be
lieyed, this fellow is headed for Mex
leo, far away from the reach of any
Utah officer.
According to the Denver Times, the
three men, Bartlett, Murray and Ted
Newell, all of whom were TRUSTEES at
the Arapah0e county Jail, where they
were serving terms for comparatively
trivial matters, escaped from the jail
on the night OF October 18th by saving
their way out of the hospital ward
where they had been confined.
After leaving the Jail they proceeded
20 the southern limits of Denver, where
they are said to have wrecked a Santa
Fe passenger train, with the apparent
purpose Of robbing the passengers.
They were discovered in the act of
tam pering with the track by man
who at once gave notice to the Santa
Fe officials in time to place them on
guard and prevent serious wreck and
robbery, but not in time to allow
posse to be sent out to capture the
would-be robbers while at work.
The train crew were on the lookout,
and when they approached the spot
where the track had been tempered
with the speed was such that only the
engine and the cars IN the front part of
the train went off the track, and the
damage was very light. The tram crew
we're also on the alert at once and the
Heuld-be robbers were frightened away
securing anything,
l required several hours to get the !
rain back on the track, but while this
vas being done the Wreckers were not |
die. They proceeded at once to Littls-
on, where they went through the town
n the most approved style taking
in sight.
