ROBBERS STILL AT LARGE
soarchers for Them Handicapped by Lack
of Accurate Descriptions.
SCOUTS ARE SECURING THE MOUNTAINS
Union Pacific officials Making Every
Enort to Capture the Parties
Who Held IN the
"I'ust Mail"

Nothing new concerning the robbery Of the
Union Pacinc's Fast Mail" Wednesday
morning near Uintah, Utah, dcvel-
cpod during the night or wster-
day The dispatches received at
the local headquarters and all other reliable
information say there were three men who
did the bold deed. not two as stated by a
local paper. The country is well covered
with scouts who know the Wahsatch noun
tains thoroughly Whether they have struck
any trail is not known, and 1t is prooaole
that there will be no news until the capture
Of the men. Chief Canada OF the union
Pacihcs special bureau is In constant com
munication with the authorities OF that
country. He says the work Is under the
direction of the United states marshals
The ofrense was one against the government
but the railroad company is doing
everything It can to assist in the capture
of the robbers. He will not go out at pres
ent. but should his services be needed he
will 20 out later.
The NEST serious handicap to the work
of hunting down the criminals Is
the fact that none of the trainmen are able
to give descriptions OF them. The robbers
were masked: the tranmen were terrified,
and the whole transaction occurred in a
briefer time than 1t takes to tell 1t, so that
there was not much opportunity to secure
accurate descriptions. il Is thought that
the three men are ones that have been
known to the Union Pacific detectives for
some time though they have never before
committed any crime against the road The
descriptions of these men will be sent out
and may be of assistance in the search.
The little town of Uintah will soon become
famous If /; is made the seat of many more
startling events. II was there that Con
eral" Kelly of Commonweal fame captured
a Union Pacific train in 1894, and loading 1t
with his army of Commonwcalers, ran II
clear through to Council Bluffs. whore he
arrived on Sunday, April Is. 1894. An event
Of that kind is usually enough Tor one small
town within single decade. but it IS likely
that the hcldup of the Fast Mail" will
now be the favorte story of the town for

The regular meeting OF the Seventh Ward
Republican club was held last night at its
headquarters. 1912 Park avenue. The meet
ing. however, was of brief duration and a
motion by one of the members that the body
adjourn and attend the meeting at the Boyd
theater was carried unanimously. A portion
of rne club. however, did not care to hear
Senator Allison, and shortly after the ma
iority had left started a little session on
their own account. II. T.. Cochran was
elected chairman and the object of the meet
ing then became apparent.
A. Il. Baldwin secured the floor and stated
that he had reasons for believing that the
republican primaries had not been honestly
conducted during the late contest. He stated
that there was evidence that parties outside
Of the Seventh ward had been sworn in al
the last minute and in spite OF the fact that
they had been challenged their votes had
been accepted. He thought it necessary that
an investigation be held; that the poll books
be examined by a competent committee and
a report on the same be made
Fred j. Smith, Joseph II. Taylor John C.
Thompson and G. S. Amber spoke along the
same lines. J. +. Coatsworth was OF the
opinion that many of the alleged fraudulent
voters would be found to be all right upon
examination into the matter The boundary
lines Of the ward ran closely to those OF
South Omaha and many OF the men said to
live in the other city in reality lived in the
Seventh ward. His suggestion to leave the
matter to the entire club was showed under
by the wishes of the majority OF those
present and upon motion of Baldwin the
chairman was empowered to select a com
mittee OF seven men, six from the precincts
and one-at-large, to investigate the methods
used at the last primary and report later.
