Miles Of Fort Logan.
Passengers and Grew Subdued With
Guns and Mail Car Robbed,

Denver. Feb. 14.-That the daring
holdup Of Denver & Rio Grande pas
senger train No. near Denver early
Sunday was the work of three instead
OF two robbers. and that the robbery of
the mail car gave them loot of pos
sibily $4,000. is indicated by the in
vestigation of the police and railroad
officials.
So far no tangible clew to the iden-
tlty or whereabouts of the robbers has
been found, but it seems probable that
the men came to Denver and are now
hiding in this city.
Eighteen packages of registered mail
were stolen. One of these is said tc
have contained large sum of money
but until a thorough checking I'D of
the missing package is possible the ex-
act amount of the theft cannot be as
certained.
The robbery was remarkable for rs
originality and daring. 1t took place
within eight miles of Denver. within
less than two miles Of Fort Logan, the
United States military reservation. and
at spot where habitations are plenti-
full.
