Special to The Herald.

Special TO The Herald
LONG BEACH, Sept. 27.-One hold
up and one unsuccessful attempt were
all that the long and short men scored
last night.
The police force was considerably in
creased, a large detail of special off,
GERS being put on duty in various parts
of town, but two tricks were turned by
the evasive crooks on Anaheim road,
in the extreme north end of the city. :
The first report of trouble was turned
In by j. Valdez, Mexican, who, while
riding along on his bicycle between
Atlantic and American avenues, was
halted by two footpads, who searched
him. Valdez, who is employed In a
livery stable, had but forty cents
The strong arm men have been nota-
bly, unsuccessful so far as financial
gain is concerned and Valdez heard
one of the two men remark last night,
after counting over his small pile:
Jack, let's go back to honest TOLL"
Both of these men were armed but
owing to the darkness a good descrip-
ton of neither was furnished.
Wilson Terry, driving along Ana
helm road, little bit later, with a
friend in his buggy, was ordered by
two men to halt. They presented re-
volvers. but Terry cut his horse with
the whip and passed them like a flash.
The men did not chance a shot.
Today q large force of men secured
the gum groves which surround the
city, it having been reported that the
highwaymen were in hiding among the
trees. The search availed nothing.
This evening 1t was reported that
suspicious men were in the neighbor-
hood of the winery. When an officer
went to investigate, however, he found
a small party Of men whom he knew
personally and who have never fol-
lowed the profession of strong-arm men.

Funeral of James Pulley, Who Came
to the Valley in 1S48.

American Fork, Dec. 3-Mrs Glenn
ents, wife of Stephen Clements Of this
place, gave birth to triplets last Sunday
night. All three were boys and were
fully developed. They lived but about an
hour and half after birth. 1t is un-

triplets being born in Utah county.

ceased's integrity and useful life, botn

full Latter-day Saint. The benediction
was pronounced by Elder William r.

James Pulley was the son of Francis Pull
ley and Martha Embrey Pulley, and was
born in HerefOrdshire, England, May IL,
1923, and was therefore in his 84th year.
His father was killed when James was
but three years old. leaving him and five
other children to be cared for by their
mother. The family were in destitute cir
eumstances. and it was necessary for the
children when very young to labor for
daily wages, therefore his educational
advantages were limited to but few
weeks of schooling and some instruction
from his mother, which enabled him to
read and write. He joined the Mormon
church at Ledbury, England. Oct. A.
1910, and ernigrated to America in 1884,
going directly to Nauvoo becoming init
mately acquainted with the leader of the

TOMMY BURNS
VISITS SALT LAKE
Would Like to Match Jimmy
Burns With Hyland-Dick
and Sammy Here.

Tommy Burns, the man who beat Jack
O'Brien at Los Angeles, but did not get
the decision, arrived in Salt Lake yester-
day from Los Angeles. Burns was accom-
panied by his wife and Jimmy Burns,
George Memsic) en- route to Philadelphia,
where Burns has an engagement to ap-
pear before the footlights. He says he
will follow the stage life for a couple of
months and return to Los Angeles in time
TO train for his second fight with Jack
O'Brien next May.
This is Burns first visit in Salt Lake
for two years. He visited Salt Lake then
TO fight Jerry Mccarthy, but refused 10
lay down to Jerry and of course there was
nothing doing. Burns is several pounds
heavier than when he was in Salt Lake
before, but otherwise has not changed
much.
Tommy is now boosting his protege,
Jimmy Burns. who is perhaps better
known as George Memsic. Tommy is es-
pecially anxious to match Jimmy with
Dick Hyland and says Tom McCary will
give a good purse for the fight in Los
Angeles. Burns is not averse to match
ing Jimmy and Hyland to fight in Salt
enough to pry off the lid which is now
nailed down in this city.
Scarcely had Burns departed for the
east than Fighting Dick Hyland and
Sammy MeCiintic hit the town coming
from Denver. Sammy has been trying TO
get match for Hyland in Denver but
during the chickering's that are being
passed back and forth between the diff
feTent factions in that town. Sammy got
off wrong with one side and promptly
pulled stakes and hiked to the more con-
genial cline of Utah The pair will re-
/. main here for a few days at least, care
fully sean the pugilistic horizon. and if
\ nothing is doing. they will trek TO some
other place where the coin may be more
plentiful.
