claimed that they secured In the neigh

alarm was sent TO the police station
and The patrol wagon with several Of
iicers made a dash for the scene, but
of course the holdups had fled and no
trace OF them could be found.
The robbers entered the place very
quietly and pointing reyolyers at those

their hands. Their commands were
quickly complied with and while one Of
the men kept the victims covered, the
ether went through their pockets and
took everything Of value.
About $3.50 was in the cash tin. which
the robber cleaned out. Moore lost a
gold watch and chain and $685. After

opened at the neck as he seemed to be
checking, He refused resolutely, how
ever, to be carried to his apartments
saving that he was sufficiently strong TO
walk. The way thither was cleared and
he proceeded slowly, surrounded by his
anxious encourage, his head bent almost
on his shoulder and his face so'pale that
the flesh was scarcely distlneuishable

still remained open.

Rome, Aug. 1i.-Just week has
elapsed since the election Of Plus X
and he has been already overcome by
the unaccustomed strain OF his ponti-
fical duties. This morning he tainted
while at mass. His collapse Is con-
sidered to be due TO heart weakness
aggravated by fatigue, II constitutes
the first victory of his encourage which
has insisted that he should take the
change from his previous life less siren
uously. Even though he disappOint
some people. they argue that he should
not concede audiences TO all corners
and to render himself less accessible.
DR.. Lapponi recommended the pope to
take a complete rest He ordered all
audiences postponed
The pope, however, cannot understand
rho necessity Of sparing himself, and
llutd to Dr. Lapponi
u am stronger than Pope Leo. Why
should not do what he did
II was explained to him that Leo
when elected began by taking fort
nights perfect rest, and thereafter
gradually trained himself to his new
duties Moreover, Leo's peculiar con-
stituton did not need exercise in the
fresh air which an ordinary healthy
man does,
At noon Pope Plus was reported to

as he feels occasionally slight palpl-

The pope ardently wished TO receive

was to present his credentials but he
was persuaded to renounce his inten-

The pope has been oyer-exerting him

SAL A|R TRAIN
NEARLY WRECKED
Young Walter Edgar Confronted
With a Serious Charge,
DROVE SPIKES IN A FROG
Discovered Barely In Time 10 Avert
An Awful Disaster - How Com
fesses tho Crime.

Walter Edgar. a boy barely 10 years
Of age, Is in the county jail under sus-
picon Of having attempted to wreck
q saltair train few days ago, The
motive for the act Is said to be that
the boy had been put of train while
stealing a ride. He felt aggrieved and
accordingly undertook to drive several
pieces OF iron into a frog on the track
near the Jordan river Had not the
act been discovered In time the conse-
quences would have been decidedly Sc
rous.
The attempt to wreck the train was
discovered by X, $, Campbell manager
Of the Utah Light a. Power company,
who happened to he walking along the
track lust a short time prior 10 the
passing Of the AGO train bound for the
beach He noticed several spikes and
big bolt wedged In the frog near
Ninth West. No time was lost In
notifying an emplOye Of the railroad
company az the car sheds ana together
the two men removed the obstacle, The
matter was reported TO Manager Lang
ford, who in turn enlisted the aervlces
OF the sheriff Yesterday afternoon
Deputy Sheriff Booth found three boys
who stated that Edgar did the work
The boys are Charles Hoffman Adel-
bert Penney and Roy Williams. These
lads state that they were down among
the willows Ranking the Jordan on the
day the crime was committed when
they saw Edgar walking up the track
and later commence driving something
into the frog.
Edgar was arrested at his home, 621
south West Temple, last night, and
stouuy denied the charge Later the
boys father, who vas absent, arrived
and asked what was the trouble. De-
spite the fact that no one had mem
toned the charge specifically the boy
at once said to his father, "They say
nut irons on the track" This re-
mark came near clinching the business,
and the boy was promptly taken to the
county Jail.
MI Campbell was warmly thanked
by the management for his action Had
he not discovered the attempt TO wreck
the train the consequences would have
been little short OF an appalling dis
aster.
CONFESSB6 THE CRIME.
Late last night young Eager con-
fes3ed 10 Sheriff Emery that he was
guilty OF the charge preferred against
him. He also made a similar confess
sion this morning TO his father and the
county jailor, but stated that he little
realized was he was doing when he
committed the rash act. The boy seems
quite penitenl and appears to realize
very keenly the enormity Of the crime
foi which he has been arrested,
