IMPLICATED IN A ROBBERY
Confession of Accused Man Involves
Two Who Heretofore Have Borne
q Good Reputation.

RAWLINs, Wyo, Sept. 26.-CSpecial.)-
Isaac Martin, who is alleged to have made
an attempt to rob the Anderson saloon
several weeks ago and who was shot by one
Of his companions, has made a confession in
which he duplicates John Kennedy and
Gerald Stark.
Martin, who was formerly q locomotive
engineer at Pueblo, Colo. says he was
standing in the alley in the rear Of the
Anderson saloon when Stark and Kennedy
broke into the saloon and secured a guam
tity OF whisky. When Marshal Hanks came
along and ordered the three men to hold up
their hands one Of the robbers, probably
Kennedy, opened FIRE, two Of the bullets
hitting Martin instead Of the ofncer.
Stark is one Of the Union Pacific striking
boilermakers and Kennedy has been en-
ployed with an oil we'll drilling outfit east
Of town. Both men nave been placed under
arrest. They are we'll known here and
heretofore have borne a good reputation.
Martin is now almost fully recovered from
his wounds.

sci have yet to be made.
