Are They Holduns2

The sheriff's officers in Salt Lake
and Ogden are looking for two men
who pawned watch with a Twenty
fifth street restaurant keeper some
time ago. 1t seems the watch was
taken from a Salt Lake party in
hold-up last November. The men have
since been lodged in the Salt Lake
county jail on another charge and will
be released on March 81. The watch
has been found. having been left as
security for a $3.50 board bill with the
restaurant man. One of the men i'm
plicated was described as "a copper
colored negro The men left Ogden,
ostensibly to. do some assessment work
on mining claims, but as yet they have
not been located. However, the real
culprits are believed to be in the Salt
Lake jail and these men were wanted
as witnesses. The officials think they
can send the two now in Jail over the
road for highway robbery.

THE PLAINTIFF RESTED.
The Defense Begins on the Ronald
Case-Proceeding Rapidly.

Rapid progress has been made in
the damage case of Rudolph Konold
vs. the Rio Grande Western for $4,000.
Most of the legal questions were ar
gued in the Campbell case and conse-
quently all concerned in the trial are
familiar with the case. The prosecu-
ton rested yesterday. Drs. Conroy
and Coulter testified that Konold,S in
juries were severe and would probably
be lifelong. Mr.. Konold himself was
put on and concluded his testimony.
and Mr.. Silver, an expert machinist,
also testified for the prosecution The
first witness for the defense was Mr..
Yard, chief engineer of the company.
He testified as to the line in the vi
cinity of Helper. the grades and To-
cations of sidetracl1s. The rules re-
garding rights of the line and duties
of engineers were introduced in evil
dence, and also time schedule. One
branch of the defense is that the en-
gineer left for Helper when there was
too little time to make that siding,
and that according to rules he should
not have pulled out. The inference is
that he overworked his engine and
thereby caused the explosion. The
case is expected to be disposed of this
week
