COOL HIGHWAYMAN At OGDEN
WALKED OFF WITH TIE GAIN
BLING HOUSE SWAG.
Entered the Arlington Place, Picked
Up Two Bags OF Coin and Made
Ills Escape.


ogden, Dec. 1S.-The lone highway
man reapDeared in ogden tonight for
a few minutes and disappeared few
minutes later. In the interval he made
away with two bags full of money
from the Arlington gambling hall. 1t
happened at / :45. The play was about
over for the day and the money had
been counted into two sacks and was
ready to be carried to the safe.
One of the proprietOrs, John Hammer,
was seated behind the roulette table
reading a paper, another. Barney
MacGurie, was seated behind the faro
table a little distance away. The money
was on the roulette table near Hammer
when the hold IN entered. took the
money and made off with it. He had
the money in his possession before
Hammer noticed it and the first ne
knew that aught was amiss was when
the fellow showed a pistol at him and
said don't say word.
The stranger then backed out of the
door, ran down the stairs and was or.
At the street he slipped and fell, losing
his hat A half dozen men from the
card room followed him, but he was
half a block away before they were
down stairs. Barry MacGarrie and
a Chinanan called Wan came nearest
TO catching I'D with him, as they saw
him turn the corner on Grant avenue
by Cars drug store. They thought he
went on Electric avenue, but were not
sure.
Each bag contained about 800, all in
silver except $40. The holdup is recog-
nized as man who had been lounging
about the place all the afternoon and
evening shooting craps most of the
time. He was tall, slender and why
and had small light colored mus
tache. He impressed the men as
stock man. He wore no mask and can
be identified by half a dozen men in
case he is caught The police went to
work or ne case a few minutes after
the robbery.
The police learned that the man ran
---oet so electric avenue. where all
trace of him was lost. At BIS the
icn ,as zlvzn up Tor the night, but
posted guards to keep him from eseap-
ing from the city.

Of the coupling pin with which Mrs
Clute was beaten to death Hoff says
he scratched his hand with a tack. The
left pocket of his trousers is smeared
with fresh blood.
Step by step the Investigators learned
new facts against the prisoner. Mrs
Legg is positive that no one left Mrs.
Clute's room after Hoff. It would have
been impossible for anyone to escape
by the rear fence, and Mrs Legg
watched the front door and the side
entrance. But no one knew the owner
of the deadly coupling pin that had
been used as weapon of death until
last night, when an acquaintance of
Hoff offered the information that he
had seen such a weapon in the posses
sion of the accused. Further inquiry
increased the evidence of guilt when
it was proved that on Wednesday af-
ternoon Hof was greatly under the
influence of liquor and in an ugly mood

The Giant Motor.

Australia claims the largest automobile
carriage ever constructed for actual SER
vice. This car utilizes 70 horsepower. Tho
car travels from Coolgardie to the coast
for the transportation of merchandise to
the mines. Besides the load on the car
itself, it drags two trailers over distance
of 400 miles. A railroad was too expen-
sive luxury to indulge in in that coun-
try, and so the idea of the big motor was
conceived. So scarce is water along the
route travelled that the steam is not ex-
hausted into air. but saved, reconverted
into water. and thus used over and over
again.
J. F. Harrington was arrested this
morning for obtaining. under false pre-
lenses, a guitar which he afterward
pawned.

IS IT ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE?
The Queer Actions of Man Giving the
 Name of G. P, Hunt.

The Queer Actions of a Man Giving the
 Name of G. P. Hunt.
 Yesterday afternoon Officer Scharber arrested and locked up a young white man on the charge of assault and bat tery on Lizzie Miller, a negro resident Of Twenty-second street, near Second ave nue. The man was neatly and fairly well dressed and in conversation, the tones of his voice bespoke the polish and smoothness only obtained through educa- tion and worldly experience amongst the upper classes of people.
 At the city prison the man registered as c. P Hunt and stated that he was from New Orleans. From his talk it is presumed that 1t is another case of too much of the liquor that sparlSles and its consequent "jim-jams," or that he is an- other unfortunate whose mind wanders unsatisfaetorily.
 To a State Herald representative MT. Hunt made all manners and kinds of statements concerning himself. He says his home is in Columbus, Ga, and that he has been a travelling man for pants concern, but recently. owing to some very complicated misunderstanding, as he puts it, between himself and his firm, he has not represented them. What the complicated misunderstanding was he would not say other than that he was under arrest for some short-coming, at the firms instigation, but had not been locked up until this last offense this af- ternoon. He claimed to have been in this city nearly a month and had a room in the Florence hotel.
 At that hostelry it was learned that c. P. Hunt registered there Wednesday night and that he was without baggage of any kind. He paid for his room in ad- vance. Many times during the night his call bell was set in motion and the bell boys kept busy running back and for ward to his room. Otherwise he caused no disturbance in the hotel. Around the hotel he was looked upon as a man suf- fering from too great an indulgence in intoxicating liquors.
 The case of assault and battery on Liz zie Miller will be heard this morning in the inferior criminal court. It is all legged that the weapon used was a soda water bottle.
 At 2 o'clock Wednesday morning Hunt attempted to communicate with Attorney Graves concerning an alleged person now serving ten years in the mines for petit larceny. No address was given on the note he desired to send out by one of the hotel porters and it was returned to his room.

CAMILLA URsO COMPANY.

The Camilla Crso Grand Concert com pany comes to O'Brien's Monday evening for one performance. This promises to be the musical treat of the season.
 The following is from the New York Tribune and is a very flattering compIi- ment to Mme. Urso.
 AS a violinist she stands today model for many of the virtuosi who have caught the popular ear and live in the sunlight of popular favor. In her case, the idea of sex, which so often obtrudes itself and modfies critical judgment is never thought of. Beethoven once com plimented a prince of Prussia, who was an excellent performer and composer, by saying that he did not play like a prince, but like musician. It would not do to say Of Madame Urso, that she does not play like gifted woman, but like a man, for the speech, besides being ungal- lant. would lift many masculine artists to a plane which they are not fitted to occupy. It is better, perhaps, to para phrase the remark of Beethoven, and say that she does not play like either man or woman, but like a sound, noble, earnest and inspired musician Her playing is innocent of every vice, it is rich in every merit. Her perfect reposefulneSs begets q confidence in the mind of the listener which frees enjoyment from every con- cern. Her tone is firm, her taste fault Jess, her style chaste as Diana. In the 'Lassen Concerto there are some stu DtHQoQS LttEUlcdi WHICH, SiuCe some of them cannot be said to contribute to the musical effect of the piece, we fancy. are contrived to display the skill of the violinist These Madame Urso overcame in manner that amazed the knowing without discovering their ex- fstence to the unlearned listener. It is scarcely possible to bestow too much praise on such an achievement as that of last night, but rather to be deplored that the words of the reviewer, however, ap- preciative and enthusiastic, cannot make its merits understood.
 Henry Hayne, Paris correspondent of the Chicago Herald, says of Miss Minnie Methot:
 You should have heard the charming singer. Miss Minnie Methot, who sang splendidly and looked lovely in white gown. She sang an aria from "Le Mar riage de Figaro" of Mozart with varia- tion which would have the old master turn in his grave. but sang it so well. however, he would have turned back again.

The extent Of his injuries seem to be quite a severe shaking up and badly bruised back. It is not thought that he is dangerously in jured He was resting quietly at the hour of going to press.
