rs THIS PURPOSELY DONE2
Pieces of Pointed Wire Found
ON the R~0ulayard.

A ~disgraceful feature of an afternoon
or evenings ride On a bicycle on the
Boulevard is the constant worry ana
fear of a punctured tire. This fear is
occasioned by many small pieces of wire
pointed on both ends and bent in such
a shape as to rest upright upon the roal
and should the wire by accident be turn
ed oyer the other end will present
equally as formidable a point for the
tire. Whether these pieces of wire have
been placed on the Boulevard by some
nlaliciously inclined person. or whether
they have fallen there owing to the care,
lessness of the electric light co~mpany's
iineman is not known, but the appear
ance Of the sharpened ends would sup
port the former theory.
During Monday afternoon as many as
six tires we're punctured on the block
between -ComInunipaw and Harrison ave-
ntes. The police are unable to find out
who puts these pieces OF wire on the
road.

\ dispatch from Ogden today says
robbers are following a clue this after
noon and there Is every likelihood that
the bandits will be taken inside OF "a
hours.
The latest report is that instead of
the train being held up by M mar
there was Il sang OF over Is d~esperadoes
in the job. Three OF these are reported
TO have been on the train while the
others were in ambush at a point about
three miles from where the robbery oc-
Cured. II is said that the leader. VINO
way lost his bearings and stopped the
train several miles from the rendez-
yOus named by his companions. Find
ing out his error when it was too late
he eudeayorsd to make the best OF it
by committing the robbery with the
assistance OF his two other pals,
STILL AT LARGE
Thus far the bandits who held up I'm
ion Pacific passenger No. 3 in Weber
canon have eluded pursuit. But it is
believed that they cannot long avoid
capture. Owing to the policy of mys-
terry that has been adopted and the re-
teution of news OF the movement OF the
different posses by those in charge OF
the pursuit, it is impossible to gain full
and accurate Information regarding the
supposed direction taken by the rob-
bers and the probability that they will
be overhauled by the officers OF the law.
As to the extent of the loss through the
| rifling OF the registered mail, it is i'm
possible TO form an estimate. All OF
the pouches contained registered mail.
consigned to San Francisco and Sacra-
mento. 1t will be several days before
an approximately correct estimate of
the loss can be made. Mail consigned
to Boise banks escaped, while S25 900
in currency. belonging TO Mccormick
4 Co.. and Wells. Fargo & Co, also
came through untouched.
JUST MISSED s25. 900.
The robber was SIS 900 loser by not
rifling the registered packages in the
Salt Lake pouch. it is said. as SIS 900
was en- route to Wells. Fargo & Co. Of
that city. and 800 00 went through for
Mccormick 4 20. Both packages ar
rived two hours after schedule time.
but were safely delivered to the banks
yesterday.
Immediately after the new of the
hold-up was received by the railway
officials. Superintendent Malloy at
Cheyenne. Assistant Superintendent
Garrett O'Neil at Ogden. both Wyo-
ming division officials, and Superin-
tendent Young of the Utah division be-
gan to arrange for cutting of the bril-
gans' escape.
The inability of the trainmen to give
any description Of the man makes it all
the more difficult to apprehend him.
He is simply described as a man about
five feet seven inches in height, res
ing a pair Of o~veralls, and thoroughly
familiar with the operation Of an en-
CINE and of air brakes.
