OFFICERS SEARCH
FOR MURDERER
Burial of Seymour L. Clark
Doesn't Stop Pursuit of His
Assassin.

While the last rites were being said over
the body of the late Deputy Sheriff Sey-
mour l.. Clark, yesterday afternoon. the
hunt for the man who shot him down
was prosecuted with all vigor by the au-
thorities. The man hunt is narrowing
down considerably and it should not be
long before the fact whether or not there
is anything in the many clues advanced
since the commission of the crime viii
be known Pinkerton detectives have been
been called into the case and number
OF men SchOoled in running down GRIM
chase.
Considerable excitement was caused
here yesterday when three promipent res
| ldents from Uintah accompanied a cou-
pie OF officers and went with them to
the county Jail, where they agreed TO
give any information they had to the
officers to aid in the arrest of the mu--
derer. The report was soon circulated
that arrests had been made. while. as
a matter of fact. the men were not placed
under arrest, coming to Ogden vountar-
lily.
AT police headquarters las. evening he
officers held long conference with the
three men brought down from Uintah
earlier in the day Nothing of import
ance was brought out ard as the result
other clews will be taken up today
The inquest will be held at the city
court commencing at 10 O'Clock this
morning. Among the witnesses viii! be
members Of the crews handling the
trains from which the half-dozen cases of
shoes were taken at Uintah.
The railroad officers are doing valuable
work in connection with the case and
are working with the civil authorities.
One important point developed by them
Is that several burglaries of LoX cars have
occurred in the same territory within a
comparatively short space of time. IN
each case, it is said. the robbine was
done in a similar manner. 1t is the be-
lief that they were committed or at
ed
the crime that led up to the shooting
of Deputy Sheriff Clark last Friday
night.
Ii is generally conceded also that the
robbers were persons conversant with
railroad conditions; persons who know
that the freight trains all stopped al
Dlntah and that this woul1 give them
time to unload the plumber selected by
some one in the ear prior to its reaching
that station.
