Unchanged.

The report from New York. con:

published in The Tribune Saturday,
that Edward II. Hartman had lost con
troll Of the Pacific railroads, gave con
siderable rise to local speculation as to
improvements now In course of being

called upon w. Il Bancroft, vice-presi-
dent and general manager of the Ore
gon Short Line, to ascertain what the
status Of affairs would be should the
reported change be carried into effect.
Mr.. Bancroft stated emphatically that

port was true, Mr. Bancroft replied
that it would have no effect. HThe

CLARENCE JOHNSON
VICTIM OF ROBBERS
His Earnings of $410 Taken
From His Pocket by a
Jostling Stranger.

Clarence Johnson, young man whose
home is at Glenwood. Sewer county,
was robbed of $410 by three smooth
pickpockets shortly before noon yester-
day. The robbery was committed on
Main street in plain view of hundreds
of people, yet so quickly was the trick
turned that even johnson did not know
that he had been robbed until several
minutes after he had been separated
from his cash.
johnson has been employed as u
tcamster at Garfield all winter, and as
result of his work had saved the sum
of $50 which he had deposited with
his uncle, Martin Johnson, in this city.
which he had been using al Garfield
for $3.50, receiving in payment thereof
q check for the amount. johnson came
to town yesterday morning with the in
tention Of going to his home He drew
his money got his check cashed, receiv-
ing the $3.50 in gold. johnson placed
the money In his pocket, where he had
placed the $50 in gold which he had
received from his uncle, and the two
men crossed the street to get drink.
As they were about to enter the saloon
three well -dressd men bumped against
them. Johnson and his uncle were sep
arated by the men jostling them. One
of the three men apologized and the
three passed on up the street. Johnson
and his uncle went into the saloon and
ordered drink. Johnson went into
his pocket for the price, and discovered
that he had been touched, For MIN
ute he could hardly realize what had
become of his money. Suddenly be
thought of the action of the three we'll
dressed men in humping into him and
his uncle That one OF them had Sc
cured his pile during the mixup there
was no question. He at once notified
set every man on the force to work to
try and locate the three men. Johnson
furnished fairly good description of
the three men, but up to midnight no
trace of them had been found,
There is no question IN the mind of
Chief Sheets but what the three men
were expert pickpockets, and that they
the time that johnson cashed his check.
1t is believed that the three men are
a part of the gang that has been oper-
ating in the West during the last few
days. Three men were robbed under
similar circumstances at the Union
depot at Ogden Friday. In each case
the trick was turned by two or three
men, who "jostled' against their vic
tim, and robbed him Of his valuables
before be had time to know what had
happened. That the trick turned on
Johnson in this city yesterday and the
robbing of the three men in Ogden
was the work of experts there is no
question The police force of both Salt
Lake and Ogden is working hand IN
1and TO capture one of the cleverest
gangs of crooks that has ever visited
either of the cities.
