free coinage of silver will bring trout
BILE; we tell them that the gold stand
ard has brought trouble. We place the
experiences of our people against the
prophesies which they make. They
tell us with free coinage of silver may
not be free from dangers; that it may
not be a perfect system. We tell them
all we have to do is to
OFFER SOMETHING BETTER
than they have had, and it does not
take a very great system to be better
than the one we have had. (Great
cheering)
In one sense. our campaign is a de-
fersiyeaone: in another sense it is an
aggressive campaign. IT. is defensive
in thai we are defending our homes
and our firesides from an enemy as
dangerous as ever attacked the Welfare

LEGISLATION; it is aggressive in that we
are after something and know what
we are after, and-how we are going to
get it,"
Mr.. Bryan criticised the Republican
party for failing to say what they
wanted and merely opposing every
thing that was offered. Mr.. Bryan
also spoke of the fact that contracts
We're being made payable in gold and
asked where the gold was coming from
with .Yilich to settle these contracts.

up containing the facts substantially
as published in yesterdays Herald
Mr. Bancroft held the theory that the
robbers plans had miscarried, and that
he had intended to stop the train
sooner than he did and at point at
which he would have been assisted by
confederates Mr. Bancroft said it
would be extremely difficult TO capture
the robber as he was dressed in a suit
of overalls and a jumper and had a
sack over his head with no openings
except for the eyes. All these he could
have thrown away and have appeared
in other clothes in short order. He
thought the mans actions gave evil
dence that he understood running
trains and might therefore be expected
to be smart enough to destroy the
outer garments as well as anything in
the plumber which might lead ~ his
arrest. Mr.. Bancroft said. however,
that the country was thoroughly
covered with officers, and that if there
is any possibility of establishing his
identity he will be caught.

AS the latter class came out Of the

they were set upon by the scphemores

severely pounded, and had most of their
clothes torn from them Several who
had rushed from practice in the GYM

them completely torn from their bodies
But they kept up the struggle.
President Adams and a number Of pro-

HEARD LOCALLY.
officers Sent Out From Here Yester-
day-Robber Left S25,0OO in the
Mail.


When the news of the hold-up
reached Salt Lake, superintendent
Bancroft and Division superintendent
Joe Young were at once notified, and
together they secured a posse of men
who were known to be reliable in ain
emergency and despatched them to the
scene. Among them were Adam Paul,
Joe Raleigh. Boman Cannon and
Moroni Gillespie. They went at once
to Uintah and took up the trail.
Later in the day Sheriff Hardy sent
Deputies Steele, Gibbs, Thorn and
Thomas and United States Marshal
Brigham sent two deputy marshals.
They were J. B. Cummock and 5. Y.
Golden These officers were sent east
to intercept the robber in the event he
undertook to work south. They will
cover the intervening ground thorough
~ and then work north in the direc-
ton of Uintah. 1t is the theory of
some of the officers that the robber
would lie quiet during the day yester-
day and begin to move last night.
Ii this should prove a wise theory
there is a possibility that abe viii be
captured, as the officers sent out from
here will cover the south country and
that to the north is well surrounded
with officers.
Not all the officers and persons inter
ested are inclined to entertain the the
DRY. however. Some believe the rob-
Der took advantage of his time TO
make good his escape and at once
started out of the country.
Some hold the opinion that the bandit
was not alone in the plot but had ac-
completes who were TO board the train
when he brought it to a standstill.
Carrying out their theory they believe
the robber missed his bearings and al
lowed the train to pass the point
agreed upon, and discovering he was
alone decided TO do the best he corid.
The theory fits in with the statement
of residents of the vicinity who say
about midnight and of another who
claims TO have seen man riding one
horse and leading two others early in
the evening If this theory should
prove TO be the correct one the robber
woAd doubtless have fulfilled the ideas
of the theorists and have begun to
make himself scarce Immediately he
left the train by making his way to
his confederates, when the party
mounted could have been well out of
harms way before the officers reached
the scene.
BANCRoFT'S VIEWS.
Superintendent Bancroft, of the
Union Pacific, smiled when seen yes
terday at the idea of one lone man
holding up a whole train crew but at
tached no blame 10 the men because of
the fact that they could not tell in the
dark that they were being held up by
one man and the further one that it
was entirely reasonable for them to
suppose the bandit had accomDlices

GENTsCH INVESTIGATES.

General Superintendent Frederick c.
Gentsch, of the Pacific Express COM
pany, went TO the scene of the hold-up
yesterday TO investigate the circum-
stances and returned 10 the city last
evening. To a Herald reporter he said
after his return that the robber was
undoubtedly alone although he too
agreed with the theory that the plot
miscarried and that other robbers were
at another point waitinsr to take part.
Mr.. Gentsch said the robber got moth
ing from the express company, and
that although he endeavored to blow
open the safe he did not so much as
damage it. The company'S lucky as
cape from loss was due to the careful
ness of the messenger who had all his

He said, however that had this not
been the case the robber would not
nave secured any great a,.nornis. as il
so happened that the values in pos
session of the company that day were
comparatively small.
Mr.. Gentsch does not agree that there
is little likelihood of capturing the
robber. He says it would have been
impossible for him TO have gone any
great distance in the time that elapsed
before the officers were on the ground.
He believes the man is still in the vi
entity, and said that even though he
Invested himself of his suit of sienims
and his mask, the clothes would doGht-
less be found in the close search that
is being made. He also thought that
the envelopes and other papers from
the mail pouch of no value might be
found, and that even if he burned them
the officers should be able to find where
he had built his fire and so get a clue
to the direction he had taken. Mr..
Gentsch said the search would be
most thorough and thought there was a
very good prospect of overhauling the
bandit.
TOOK ONLY REGISTERED LET
TIERS.
1t is supposed the bandit secured a
very good haul from the contents of
the registered mail pouches, but the
exact amount will take the postoffice
authorities a long time to determine,
even if they ever do TO certainty.
The superstition is based on the fact
that he took a large quantity of regis
tered letters which usually carry
money.
Postmaster Barrett was busy vester-
day locating the Whereabouts of Post
Office Inspector Nichols, VINO was out
Of town on business. When Mr.. Mich
OILS arrives he will take charge of the
hunt for the government The govern
ment policy in such cases is very thor
ough, and the robber may realize the
seriousness Of interfering with the af-
fairs of Uncle Sam.
PRATT GOT EXCITED.
During the afternoon yesterday the
telephone at police headquarters rang
frantically, and when Desk Sergeant
Smith answered, Officer O. z. Pratt in
formed him excitedly that a wagon
drawn by a spanking team and con-
tanning two suspicious looking charac-
ters and leading two of the fastest
horses in the west had just passed
him and were going toward Liberty
park. He was quite certain the men
were the train robbers.
