BURGLARS STILL
|NFEST OGDEN
Three More Daring Crimes
Committed Last Night
Suspect Gets Away.

Three more burglaries occurred Sunday
night, notwithstanding the vigorous eff
forts put forth by the police to break
up the gang that has infested the city
for some time. Two of the crimes COM
mitted Sunday night were the most dar-
ing ever perpetrated in Ogden, and pre-
sent new line to the bold-up bust
ness.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday morn
ing three men forced an entrance to the
Conroy rooming house at 22S Twenty
third street. They made their way to
the room of a man named John Nor
gan. While two men entered the room
the third stood guard on the stairs. All
were heavily masked. One of the two
went into the room, turned on the cleo
tTic light and when Morgan opened his
eyes he was looking in the muzzle of a
big gun held by the second man. The
room was completely ransacked and the
pockets of MOrgan's clothing were rifIed.
No money was found in the room and
the robbers missed a gold watch that
Morgan had under his pillow.
From this room the robbers went to
the room occupied by Mrs. Conroy and
her daughter. The women were not awak-
ened and the thugs left the house with
out making any further search.
Next to the Conroy house is the apart
ment house of George Biddle. 1t was 10
this house that the robbers next went
and entered the room of II. Evans, q
Southern Pacific machinist. A deed to a
home in Salt Lake, certificates of min
ing stock, a suit of Clothes a new pair
of shoes and SIS were taken from Ev-
ans.
The room of a Mr.. Orth in the same
house was next entered and a pair OF
trousers containing d small sum of mon
ey was taken.
The position of three chairs in one of
the dining rooms leads to the belief that
the trio sat down to a table and counted
and "a md hon 1aff
the place.
Two men, heavily armed. supposed to
belong TO the "hOld-up'' class, were ar
rested early yesterday morning in the
railroad yards by the special officers OF
the Southern Pacific. One of the two
is locked up at the city jail, while the
other made a successful getaway from
the officers.
The man in custody is Ed Delaney
When searched he had a big gun and
a belt full of cartridges on his person
The other man, who escaped. was located
in another part of the yards. He was
forced to put up his hands at the point
of the gun, and a large gun was also
taken from him. After he learned that
he was being held by an officer he said
that if ne had known that the officer
would never have gotten the gun. This
was taken to mean that he thought he
was being held up by another in the same
profession as himself
AS the officer was taking his man
through the SdfuS Il car CleanSr NIlIeN
his lamp into the face of the prisoner
and then into the face of the officer
This was all the opportunity that the
fellow needed and while the officer was
temporarily blinded by the bright glare
of the light his man daTted beneath q
car and got away.
George w. Brooks. who has but recently
served a sentence in the city jail, was
picked up by Deputy Sheriff 3. 3. Viii

tity of stuff from the Bee Hive room

zor and some clothing. All of the plum
der was recovered
