TWO SUSPECTS
UNDER ARREST
Men Believed to Have Robbed
McTernay'S Saloon in Pri-
son at P0catelio.
SEARCHING FOR THE THIRD
OFFICERS SECURING COUNTRY
NEAR M'CAMMoN.

Captain John B. Burbidge of the Salt
Lake police department and Sheriff
Quigley of Bannoek county, Idaho. are
securing the country in the vicinity OF
McCammon, Ida. in search of the third
man of the bandit trio that held UP and
robbed McTernay's saloon in Salt Lake
of more than slOOO in money and jew
elry last Thursday evening.
Two of the three men are believed TO
be in Jail at Pocatello, and the third
is in hiding near McCammon. 1t was
discovered late last evening that the
third man. who is ROW sought, reached
McCsmmon with the other two. and
went to the Hardness hotel at that
place, while mis- pals went a short dis
lance out of town and built camp fire
He left one suit case at the hotel and
took the other and started out to find
his comrades. At the station he saw his
pals handcuffed together md in the Gus
tody of Sheriff Qugley. He hurriedly
left-thc depot and has not been seen
since.
The Third Man.
At that time it was not known that
he was the third man wanted and the
sheriff did not attempt to capture him.
Last night however. the hotel people
at McCammon began to wonder why this
man had not returned to claim his suit
case, and they notified the sheriff. Cap
tain Burbidge and the sheriff went to
McCammon and examined the suit case.
1t contained three suits of clothing, three
revolvers of the size and character used
in the holdup, a bunch of skeleton keys.
wallet believed TO be the one stolen
from James Mair three handkerchiefs
such as were used in the hoIdup and
a number of other suspicious articles.
May Have Seen Guard.
The description of the third man tai
lies with the one who guarded the door
in the saloon and every circumstance
seems to indicate that he is the man
wanted. The presumption is that the dia-
monds and the rest Of the stolen money
were in the suit case that this man ear
ried away with him. It is believed that
he was en- his way TO the camp, where
a division OF the spOils would have been
made. when be saw his comrades under
arrest He was observed by the sher-
if as he made his hurried exit from the
depot but the officer attached no signifi-
canoe to this move.
Believed to Be Man Wanted.
That the man who left the incriminat-
ing suit case at the hotel and the man
who made his escape when he saw the
other two handcuffed are one and the
same has been established by the de-
scriptions given Of the man by the sher-
If. the hotel clerk and the conductor
of the train on which the trio rode from
Woods Cross to McCammOn.
The taller OF the other two men who
are now in the Jail at Pocatello has been
almost positively identified by Thomas
Needham bartender in the saloon that
was robbed. Mr.. Needham went to Poca-
tello with Captain Burbidge Saturday
night and yesterday afternoon looked at
the men in the county jail He said he
was almost sure about the taller one
but could only say that the other man
was of the same size and general ap-
pearance as one Of the highwaymen.
Confident of Identity.
In a telephone message to Chief Sheets
last evening Captain Burbidge said he
was confident that the two men under
arrest at PocatelIo were two of the ban
dts II he is unsuccessful in finding
the third man the two arrested will be
brought to Salt Lake for trial. In order
that reQulSlIl0n Will not De necessary, II
is planned that the sheriff bring the two
men to the state line. and Captain Bur
bidge will arrest them there.
All trains leaving McCammon and Po-
catello are being watched to Illustrate an
attempt Of the fugitive member OF the
trio to leave the country. All the trains
that have gone out of there have been
checked by the authorities and they are
positive that he is still in the vicinity
of McCammon.
Searching the Country.
Captain Burbidge and Sheriff Quigley
mounted horses as soon as they learned
of the probability OF the third man be-
ing in that section and are now search
ing ali possible hiding places.
In the meantime, the two men in Jail
maintain a stolid indifference to all ques-
tiOning- Though put through a rigorous
sweating process, they refuse to talk.
and still decline to give their names.
