ROBBERS LOOT MAIL TRAIN
Crime Was Remarkable for Boldness
and Showed Well Laid and Exc.
cuted Plan of Professionals.

DENVER, Feb. 13.-That the hold
up of the Denver and Rio Grande pas
senger tran near Denver early this
morning was. the work of three in
stead of two robbers, that the rob-
berry of the mail car gave them loot
possibly amounting to $4,000, is
indicated in an investigation by the
railroad and police officials today. So
far no tangible clue to the identity
or whereabouts Of the robbers .has
been found, but it seems probable
the men came to Denver and are now
hiding in this city. Eighteen pack
ages of registered mail were secured.
The robbery was remarkable for
and daring. It took place
within eight miles of Denver, within
less than two miles of Fort Logan,
the United States military reserva-
ton, and at spot where habitations
are plentiful. So thorough was the
work of the robbers and SO we'll we're
their plans laid that they had fully
an hour and a half the start Of the
officers. Search in the vicinity of
the holdup indicates that third
man and possibly a fourth was en-
gagged in the robbery. That rub

new STORY IN
BREEZE CASE
SEEN ON the RAILROAD TRACK
Old Man Tells Story of Drunk Man
and Companion Near Place
Body Was Found.

After week OF work on the Breeze
murder mystery the police and sher-
ms office is apparently no nearer
a solution than when the crime was
committed. The movements of
Breeze up to the time that he left
the German woman at the depot on
the afternoon OF December 20 have
been traced. but from this point the
authorities are In the dark. The
German woman has returned from
Chicago to Ellensburg, and the ex-
pected developments have not mate
rialized.
An old man whose name is un-'
known has been telling story around,
the streets to the effect that on the
afternoon of December 22 he saw n
man apparently intoxicated stagger-
ing down the railroad track near the
place where Breeze's body was found.
A second man was following Breeze.
Breeze fell on the track and the sec
ond man picked up his hat and re-
placed it on his head. If the old
mans story is reliable Breeze must
have started down the railroad track
Immediately after leaving the Cor
man woman. This story is at var
lance with information in the pos
session of the police, although cor
roborated by the three rabbit hunt
ers who saw man lying in the snow.
The German woman and her COM
panion, according to an Ellensburg
story, claimed to have been robbed
of money and jewelry during their
short stay in this city preceding the
murder, and to date has neither been
affirmed or denied. This story is
being unraveled by the police. The
German woman has expressed will
ingness to tell all she knows of the
affair, and may make statement this
week

ton of a president and directors will

general situation will be talked over.
The leading spirits of the new league
will confer with the Prosser contin-

The fate of the new league hung
upon Ellensburgs willingness TO
come into the fold A letter received
by Manager Payne of the Tigers from
j. H. Van Gesen of that city, says
that the fans of the Kittitas burg
are crazy for league baseball, and
have the pennant won already. Top

to be dished up to the fans the com

now scattered from the Columbia riv-
