ECONOMY in the cost of construction would
be considerable. He consulted with Nc
Namara Brothers. who were in charge of
the work of tearing down the station, and
Succeeded in securing all the granite that

TRAIN HOLD-UP NEAR DENVER.

That the hold-up of the Denver and

Denver early Saturday morning was
the work of three instead of two rob-
oers, and that the robbery of the mail
Ear gave them loot of possibly $780,
300. are indicated by the investigation
Of the police and railroad officials. So
far no tangible clew to the identity or
whereabouts of the robbers has been
found. but it seems probable that the
men went to Denver and are now hid
ing in that city. Eighteen packages of
registered mail were secured.
The robbery was remarkable for its
originality and daring. 1t took place
within eight miles of Denver, within
.ess than two miles of Fort Logan, the
United States military reservation. and
at the spot where habitations are plen-
tiful. Yet so thorough was the work
Of the robbers and so well were their
plans laid that they had fully an hour
and half start Of the officers.
Search of the vicinity of the hold-up
indicates that Il third man. and posi-
bly, a fourth, were engaged in the rob-
berry: that rubber tired buggy was
in waiting for the actual hold-up, and
that torpedoes and red signal fires were
used unsuccessfully in an attempt to
stop the train before the automatic re-
volvers of the two men on the engine
tender succeeded in doing this.
From the manner i'm which the hold
up was accomplished it is thought POS
sible that the robbers are the ones &c
sponsible for the hold-up of the Denver
and Rio Grande train last May, when
Express Messenger Wright was killed.
