Trio of Alleged Burglars Are
Now Accused of Highway
Robbery.
VICTIM IDENTIFIES THEM
OTHER PAIR ESCAPED JAILBIRDs
FROM OGDEN.

Burglary will not be the only charge
made against the four men arrested in
the Cliff house early Saturday morning
after William Elliott and NJ. J. Sage,
two railroad men from Garfield had
been robbed in their DOM in the hotel.
Two of the men, Edward Carroll and
w. H. Apperley, will be charged with
highway robbery, c. A. Gustafson,
miner. having appeared at police head
quarters and identified them the ban
dts who held hlIh up at Commercial
street and Commercial avenue on Fri
day night and stole a gold watch valued
at SIS. The other two men. George How
ard aid Lee Blent are alleged to have
escaped from the Ogden Jail, where they
were serving sentences.
When the four men were arrested. the
police found a gold watch in the Cliff
house bar which was at first supposed
10 be a part of the plumber taken from
the two railroad men, but Sage and Ell
lott, on examining the timepiece, de-
clared that IL was not their property. 1t
was learned that Carroll had left the
watch with the bartender i'm the Cliff
house saloon early Saturday morning.
A few minutes later, Apperley entered
the bar and obtained some beer. on the
understanding that the bartender was

paid for
Oazed by Blow.
AS the four suspects would not tell
where they secured the watch, the po-
lice were unable to determine whose
property it was until yesterday when
Gustafson called at headquarters and
said that the watch belonged TO him.
He explained that on Friday night he
was attacked by two men. One of them
struck him upon the head with a pair
of brass knuckles. He was -dazed by
the blow. While his assailant held him,
the mans companion went through his
pockets. taking the watch.
After the robbers had escaped, Gus
tafson met Police Sergeant Hempel.
but he was too dazed to explain what
had happened to him
The miner was taken into the city
jail TO see the four prisoners He picked
out Carroll and Apperley as the high
waymen. He declared that Carroll had
struck him with the brass knuckles and
that Apperley had taken the watch
from his pocket.
Gustafson lost his watch last August
while wandering around Salt Lake. It
was recovered by the police and re-
turned TO him.

it would be unfair to leave out one of the

Perhaps again it is wrong to say that

of the real show, and when the curtain
went up showing as fine an exhibition of
high-bred dogs as one could see in a dog
show. there was a gasp of satisfaction.
And the wonders grew in wonder as each
dog was put through his tricks. for never
was such sRilful set of quadrupeds seen
here before. The show opens with some
wonderful feats of strength shown by the
four Parros whose muscular stunts have
seldom been eqUaled. Foster and Foster
follow with musical act of rather orig

are all good and the music excellent.

point and became even more liberal
with their operators than is required
by the newly enacted nine hour law.
Since Wednesday the operators have
been working nine hours each day,
but the new order states that they
shall work eight hours. thus maxi
ing the work of the telegraph oper-
ators at this point very much easier.
While before the operators made
their time overlap with the others in

The gas companies of the state The
bill provides that certain stand

employment OF gas inspectors and
makes Ii illegal for any gas COM
pany to compel a consumer to put
up a deposit. His work in behalf of
this measure should be thoroughly
appreciated by the people of this
nty.
The local gas company demands
a deposit of SO in currency to
guarantee the payment OF gas bills.
This arrangement has been the cause
of much dissatisfaction as the com
pany Will not accept any other than
a cash guarantee. thereby securing
the use Of a large sum OF money.
Many poor persons are unable to
have gas in their home because they
are unable to pay the deposit
Nj. Smith states that although
the bill has not yet been reported
out of the house committee there
is strong sentiment in it's favor
and 1t IS quite likely that it will be-

Dor. Bert Dunn. started home about
1850 O'Clock. When the men reached
the West End they boarded a north
hound freight train, which would
land them within few rods OF their
homes. When the freight reached
the Garden City pike, Dunn remarked
that It was time to get off Dunn
syas that Strine crossed the bump
ers and jumped off on the left side OF
the train, while he landed on the
right side. Dunn says that he waited
until the freight had passed and
was wondering what had become of
his associate. when he saw bevy
of excited trainmen down the track
a short distance. A moment later
and he saw the bloody face of his
friend with whom he had been con-
versing but a short time before.
When Strne stepped from the
freight train, there was a yard en-
gine with a cut of cars coming down
"a side switch at a high rate of
lspeed He stepped directly in front
of the pony engine and was moved
down
"A strange feature of the accident
was that Strine was not thrown from
the tracks, but simly crumpled be-
meath train. The brake beams which
suspend from the bottom of the cars,
caught the body and rolled it for
Iseveral rods
The engineer stopped the train as
quickly as possible, and Strine was
pulled from beneath car. He was
still breathing and his heart was in
action. Dr.. c. T.. Sawyer was i'm
mediately summoned, also the Hess
and Markert ambulance. Death
came as a sad relief to the unfortu-
nate victim however, before either
physician or ambulance could reach
him.
Coroner Il. L. Brady was sum-
lmoned and his examination disclosed
that Strine had sustained a number
of fatal injuries. His head was
completely scalped, the chest was
crushed, the left arm and right should
er broken and the flesh on almost
every part Of the body was cut and
torn.
The body was removed to the
private mogue of Hess and Markert
where 1t was prepared for burial
Funeral arrangements will be COM
pleted late Saturday afternoon.
The deceased was born at Waldo
and was well known throughout Ma
irion county. He was a stone mason
by trade but owing to a slack in that
employment has been laboring at the
iNttiris and Christian quarries for
/ the past few weeks.
A sad feature of the incident, the
widow is about to become a mother
and as result of the sudden shock
Is almost prostrated.
BCsides We widow, four minor
children survive. Two brothers Ben
iamin and Perry Strine OF this city,
one sister, Mrs. John Berringer of
south Of the city, also survive.

Ryan met Christianson on the

threw him off. At that Ryan pulled
his gun and said, "I'll get you now

hope gas fields. The latter part Of
asst week the sixth gas weld on the
property leased by the Great North
ern Oil and Gas Pipe Line Co., was
struck at depth Of 1877 feet. While
this is perhaps the most shallow OF
all the wells, it has the best showing
Of gas. When the gas sand was
struck, everything was forced away
,1p out of the we'll, with terrific force
showing the capacity of the well to
be great. 1t was hardly possible to
force the heavy tools down, so great
was the pressure upwards and after
drilling all day the drillers Were able
to get down only eight feet further
in the sand. The we'll has Deep
properly capped and the gas, Which
we hope before long will heat and
ight Minot was placed under subjec-
ton. The capacity of the wells now
reaches ten million cubic feet daily
it may even be greater, but this is
conservative estimate. The well
was struck at point about 500 feet
west Of the Parker house and the
supply Of the gas in the other wells
has not been diminished in the least
The drillers now have struck tho
