THUGS ASSAIL
A WOMAN AND
TAKE SAVINGS
Dora futile, 0ressmaker, Is
Held Up and Robbed of
1925 at ViaduCt.
SCREAMS STIFFLED
BY PIECE OF CLOTH
VICTIM ABLE TO GIVE ONLY a
MEAGER DESCRIPTION OF
THREE BANDITS.

Three thugs assailed Miss Dora futile
dressmaker of II North Seventh West
street. and robbed her Of s325 last night
at 800 O'Clock At the west end of the
North Temple viaduct, at Fourth West
street
Miss futile had been down town 10
purchase material After visiting several
stores she started home. As the night was
pleasant she decided to walk to Seventh
West street.
Just as she was leaving the viaduct she
passed three trees which threw a heavy
shade across the path on the south side.
In this shade three robbers were lurking
Miss futile passed them without noticing
that they were there But she had taken
oHly a lew stems from the trees when
one of the thieves crept up behind her
ana wound a cloth about her mouth Dre-
venting an cutlery. As he drew the cloth
tisht' holding the ends back of her head
and searched her.
Wrapped in a piece of red flannel and
pinned inside her waist was the S325 in
%. SO and go bills. 1t represented Miss
dressmaker.
Money Taken From Wrapping.
The robbers quickly found the money.
lucy TOOK the Oils from the flannel wrap
ping and threw the cloth upon the ground
Then they released Miss Futile and dis
appeared in the darkness
The terrified wOmans cries quickly at
tracted assistance and the police were no
titled
Policeman II. d. Lyon investigated the
case He found Miss futile standing near
where the attack upon her was made.
She had found and held i'm her hand the
red flannel cloth in which her savings
had been wrapped
She babbled to the policeman an excited
story Of what had occurred. He took her
to the horne of her mother, and. after get
ting description of the robbers com
menced search for them, through the
district at the west end of the Viaduct
and in the railroad yards
Miss futile was able to give only a
vague description Of the three men. She
said that they were small and dark and
that they were foreigners, but she said
that she was not able TO tell their ma
tiOnality.
Small Clue for Police.
With this slender information to work
upon. the only hope of the policeman to
catch the thugs was to Overtake three
skulkers in the vicinity of the viaduct
But no such persons were found.
Policeman Lyon found several men seat
ed upon the porch OF a house near the
end of the viaduct. They stated that they
had not seen the three robbers running

been attacked. This indicated that the
thieves had slipped around the viaduct
and entered the railroad yards.
After eXhaUsIing every effort to find
the miscreants. the policeman returned TO
police headquarters, so that a general
hunt could be begun for the three men.
Miss futile lives al the North Seventh
West street house with her mother and
sisters She recently came to Salt Lake
from Nebraska.
1t is said that she carried her savings
with her in the belief that the money
was safer in her keeping than anywhere
else.

GOVERNOR BAKER
TELLS Of TRIP
HAWAIIAN TRAVELLER LIKED Ia

RESEMBLES HAWAI-

HlLO, January 16.-The Herald says:
Governor john Baker likes Tahiti bet
ter than any other place that he visited
while he was away from mere. lie
found it more like Hawaii, the old Ha-
wall when people here were content
with moderate sustenance, when
there was more of the feeling of aloha,
and less of the rush and desire for
money, wealth and power In appear
ance also Tahiti resembles Hawaii, and
it is an island that is prosperous and
where the people are doing well and
living comfortably and in contentment.
In New Zealand, Governor Baker was
attracted by the pretty harbor at Auck-
land. But he had more to say of the
natural marvels of the country.
AT Rotorua' said the governor Il
sat down at a spring. On my left hand
the water was boiling and of such in
tense heat that it was impossible to
touch it. TO my right the water was
absolutely cold. The geysers, the mud

nature are marvellous. did not care
so much for the big cities when | was

natural conditions in their home lives
that most interested me.
Samoa is progressing, going ahead
quickly and the people there are doing
well.
The great lava flow there that has
been running into the sea for two years
interested me and reminded me of
home.
In Australia l went into the sheep
country, spending most of my time
there. That was interesting to see
how they handled their large flocks of
sheep. And the dogs! More than hui
man intelligence, more than human
work. Here on a ranch you give an
order to a man and he lelsurely rolls
his cigarette before he begins. There
you speak to the dog, it is off and the
work is done. How they round up,
how they divide and keep separate one
lot Of sheep from another. Their dogs
