of the Southern Pacific reinstating
the old Sunset Limited service between

This train was at one time one of the
most famous in the Southwest, but the
service was discontinued about a year

to operation again, and if this is
done the equipment will be frst-class
in every respect. The service will be
operated for the benefit Of the first

be made TO re-e,tab.ish the old-time
reputation of the traiR that at one

James P. Storm, county trsasurer,
has been found locked in the steel
vault Of his office, at Prescott, Ari-
iona, bound and gagged, with $4,000
missing from the cash funds Of the
treasury. Mr.. Storm had been in the
vault fit cen hours when found by his
daughter. ......
He says that while seated In his
office two men entered tue door with
handkerchiefs tied over their faces,
and, presenting revolver to his head,
ordered him to throw up his hands.
Storm complied, and the two men
closed the doors of the offices, pro
duced q string of baling wire, with
which they securely bound mis- feet
and hands. 1aey forced handker-
chief into his mouth and pushed him
inside the vault. ....... ..,.
After gathering up $4,000 and lei
surely ransacking the Office fer mere
money, the men closed the door OF
the vault, locked the Office and de-
parted. Storm was so securely bound
that he was unable to release himself.
Storm was found, still bound and
gagged, on the floor of the vault, al
most in a state Of nervous prostra-
ton. The wire with which his hands
and feet had been securely bound mad
cut him severely.
