at the Provo hospital.
Moss was running train No. 3,
which was 5 hours late on the sched-
ule time. AS he stepped from the
train at Thistle Junction and was
hurrying to the telegraph office for
orders. he was struck in the face with
some kind of weapon and knocked
down. In falling his head struck a
protruding spike and he was rem
dered unconscious.
"A call boy about the station dis
covered Moss on the platform and
gave the alarm. The injured man
was carried to the depot. where he
partially regained his senses. After
some time he was placed aboard the
train and taken to Provo and sent to
the hospital, his train being brought
to Ogden by Conductor Lee johnson.
TT is thought that the assault on
Conductor Moss was inspired by de
sire to rob him of valuable diamond
scarf pin.
"The injured man will be brought
to Ogden as soon as he can stand the
trip. He has a family living here. y

1t seems that on Wednesday night
Conductor Moss, who, in this city
Wednesday afternoon, took charge of
Rio Grande train No. 3, westbound.
had a wordy war with Freight Con-
ductor Gleason. in charge of a west
bound freight train.
From what The Sentinel can learn.
the two conductors had quarrel over
the position of the freight train,
which. 1t seems, was blocking the
track and delaying No g. Suddenly
Gleason, who is said to be a man of
powerful build and who is said to
have once had pugilistic training.
struck Conductor Moss a terrific blow
on the jaw, almost breaking it, and
knocking Moss down. As he fell.
Moss head struck n rod or bar on a
car, infiicting a bad wound and caus-
ing fracture of the skull. He was
picked up in an unconscious condi-
tion and removed to the hospital.

Ogden. 1t is said that, while his
condition is serious, it is not neces-

that he will recover.
Conflicting reports as to the nature
of the trouble reached Grand juno
tion yesterday. but the above state
ment seems TO be the correct one and
is gathered from most reliable sour
ces by The Sentinel.
1t is said that the railroad officials
at Provo refused to give out any in
formation concerning the affair.
The following dispatch sent to the
Salt Lake Herald from Provo Thurs
day night proves to be incorrect in
view of the reports received by The

THIEVES PURLOIN RECORDS.
Mysterious Theft of Nsrthsde Deln.
quent Tax Books.

Pittsburg, March 81. Two large
and important books containing rec
ord of the delinquent taxes collected
in Allegheny in 1902 and 1903 have
been stolen and as a consequence
matters are in complicated shape in
the Office of the delinquent tax collec-
tor. Several city detectives are max
ing every endeavor to recover the
books.
The books were stolen from North.
side City hall two weeks ago, when
the accounts of the old delinquent tax
collectors office of Allegheny were
being removed to the office of Delin-
1uent Tax Collector L. r. Goshorn, In
The Smithfield street Municipal build
ing.
The thief's object in stealing the
books is mystery and the means he
used to spirit them away from City
hall without being detected is also
puzzling Collector Goshorn and the
detectives who have been working on
the case for several days.
That the person who took the books
Intended to cover up something or to
deprive the city of facts concerning
delinquent property Mr.. Goshorn said
Yesterday there is no question. De-
tectives Kelly, Left and Lally for sew
eral days have been making efforts
to find some trace of the books or
clew concerning the robbery, but
without avail.
Northside detectives have also join
ed in the search, but all they have
learned Is that the books were seen In
the old delinquent tax collectors Of
flee on the second floor of the North
side City hall on the day that the ac-
counts and fixtures of the officers
were removed to Pittsburg. The
books which have disappeared are
known as the condensed duplicates OF
1892 and 1903. They contained a con-
| densed record of all the business
! transacted in the Allegheny collectors
office for the year, also a list of all de-
linquent properties and properties
against which liens have been filed.
Until the books have been recov-
cred affairs will be in serious shape
in the delinquent tax collectors office.
The absence of the accounts for the
two years will complicate matters, for
the records which were stolen were
the only ones for the years 1902 and
| 1903 that we're preserved.
