This morning Robert Phillips and
Martin Wade, supposed to be two of
the gang of pickpockets and short
change men who operated in this
city and on the excursion train, were
arraigned for preliminary hearing be-
fore Judge sweeney.
The defendants were represented
by Attorney Samuel y. Wheeler, who
at once entered an application for
change of venue to Justice Nu-
gents court at Fruita. He asked
for a change of venue on account OF
existing prejudice, He declared that
Justice of the Peace Byers was dis
qualified. and therefore asked that
the case be taken to the Fruita court.
City Attorney Coles objected to
the case being transferred to the
court Of Justice Nugent, and declared
that, according TO the law, the case
must be taken to the nearest justice
of the peace, and, If the change of
venue was granted, the case must be
taken before Justice of the Peace
Cross at Clifton, as he was the near
est justice outside of the city.
After argument, the change Of ven
ne was made to Justice Cross court
The date Of the arraignment of the
defendants before Justice Cross was
not fixed It will be set by Justice
Cross.
The defendants are making a hard
fight for liberty.

his haste the boy ran over "a

father, who ran to his assistance,
and, failing to notice barbed-

COW took advantage of the gap in
