Two Men Rob the Pleasant Valley
Coal Compauy's Office,
THE WORK OF RUFFIANS,
Sardmaster CrandaiI sForced 60 Lie
Down, when lie Did 80 the Rob
bers Hapsaeked the Place.

There was a buzz Of excitement about
police headquarters last evening, arising
from the fact that most daring rob-
berry was committed Just a short time
before o'clock.
The branch Office Of the Pleasant
Valley Coal company, which is situated
at the corner Of Eighth South and state
streets was the scene Of the robbery,
At the time stated, Yardmaster c. S.
Crandall was al the telephone engaged
In conversation with some one when his
attention was called by the hurried en-
trance Of two men, and the grun COM
mand: throw up your hands" Turn
ing around Mr. Crandall found himself
looking down the muzzles OF two ugly
revolyers In the hands Of masked men.
The yardmaster's hands went skyward
and while one Of the desperadoes COW
cred him with his "persuader" The
other ransaoked the place. Had they
been a little earlier they would have
been better paid for the bold deed, for
over $3.50. the receipts Of the day, had
but a short time previous been taken
TO an Office up town, As II was, the fell
lows secured the yardmaster's gold
watch and chain and between sli and
$40 In cash. In their eager search for
plumber they overlooked a So gold piece
which reposed in the Til.
The men were very cool and deliber-
ate IN their actions and the manner In
which they covered up their retreat
argues that they are not exactly
Spring chickens at the business.
At the point OF a gun Mr.. Crandall
was told TO lie down on the floor. The
robbers then covered the yardmaster
with quilts and informed him that they
would plug" him q few times If he
dared 20 move or sound an alarm.
Not satisfied with the booty secured,
the men told Crandall they would Kill
him If he did not diyulge the place
where the rest OF the cash was hidden.
Crandall assured them that they had
secured everything.
once more they told him to keep still,
and ran out
Crandall was badly scared. As soon as
he dared TO move he jumped up and
gave the alarm. Men who were work
Ing In the yard rushed up and down
the streets looking for the hold-ups.
But they had vanished as completely as
though they had dissolved into the
gathering gloom.
Police headquarters was Informed by
telephone OF the robbery and CHIEF
Hilton. Detective Sheets and a squad
OF blue-coats made a rapid run In the
patrol wagon to the coal yard.
The rufIians had left absolutely no
clue as to their Identity or the route
taken In the flight Crandall was SO
badly shocked that he could not tell
whether the robbers were white or
black. One thing he did remember,
however, and that was the men had
their faces covered with handkerchiefs.
The officers are inclined to the theory
that the men made their escape in
buggy. Towns north and south have
been appHsed OF the robbery and
sharp lookout will be kept for all sus-
picious looking persons,

No Threat or Disturbance Whatever

HOME C0MERS DISAPPOINTED
relepnoned for II ribune Reporterto
Come and Chronicle Sensation
That Failed 10 Materialize.
ESPECIAL TO THE oNEws."l

Centervlle, Dec. 29-There was much
indignation In centerville today over
a gross Misrepresentation OF facts re-
garding the return and reception ac-
corded the Brandons, father and son,
on their return from Washington yes
terday afternoon. where they had been
10 testify against Roberts.
The paper states that the Brandons
were insulted; that demonstration
was made against them last night, that
the Centerville people threatened to
tar and feather them and drive them
away.
Coming from the source which It does
It is almost needless TO deny the ac-
curacy OF the report Nevertheless the
facts should be known that the story Is
false in every part. There were no
insults offered the Brandons; there was
no demonstration against them; there
was no threat TO tar and feather them
or to drive them away neither were
they jeered by mob or Individual as al
legged by the Tribune.
one thing seems certain and that is,
the Brandons are anxious for notoriey,
and certainly they are getting II. They
arrived here on the $3.50 train from Salt
Lake, and the younger OF them soon
afterward left for Pennington, where
he telephoned to salt Lake asking that
a Tribune reporter be dispatched TO
Centerville forthwith IN order that he
might secure an item IN anticipation
Of lawlessness on the part OF the peo-
pie He then returned home and, like
his father, must have been sorely dis
appointed as there was no crowd DEM
onstratlon, threat or insult, as already
stated. The town was never more
quiet than last night.
As to people gathering in front of the
Brandon residence and passing re-
marks concerning them, that Is as false
as the remainder OF the story. 1t Is
true that two or three boys passed by
the place and looked al IT, but It was
simply to get glance OF the Tribune
reporter whom they looked upon as a
veritable curiosity. And thus another
sensation falls to the ground without
form or substance.
