Union Pacific Robbers.
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 20.--It is believed
that the scouts who are looking for
the robbers who held up the Union Pa
cific's fast mail train near Ogden
Wednesday are close upon their trail.
Chief Canada of the special service
bureau received telegram from one
Of the searching party saying he had
good reason to believe something good
would develop within a very short
time. The dispatch was sent from that
country Sunday night. Another tele-
gram was also received saying s791

found In q place where the registered
mail pouches had evidently been
opened. The robbers must have opened
the pouches soon after leaving the train
for the drafts and other letters of no
value to them were found in a corn
field not far from Uintah. Some OF the
railroad officials are inclined to believe
that the robbers after opening the mail
pouches worked their way back to Og-
den and are now in hiding there or in
Salt Lake City.
