The Union Pacific station at Devils
Slide. 80 miles east of Ogden. WAS the
scene OF murder and robbery some
time last night. The dead body OF
3. r. Turner, the station agent. was
found In the office. at 2 o'clock this
morning, there being evidence OF a
temperate struggle. The agents head
had been battered with a heavy In.
Strument, presumably the butt end OF
gun, and the place had been looted.
Turner was about 22 years of age
and had been mnrr1ed not more than
a month. Failing to return home at
his regular hour last night, a search
was Instituted by his wife, which
ended In tho startling discovery OF
his mutilated body where II had fall
len IN the battle with the robbers.
Word was Immediately sont to Og-
den and surrounding country and a
thorough search of all trains Is now
being made for the perpetrators of tho
crime.
Signs Of a deadly struggle IN which
the agent had battled for his life, were
In evidence in the room. but no trace
OF the murderers has been found
The Union Pacific station at Devils
Slide Is located about three.quarters OF
mile from tho little village which
surrounds the cement works. The lit.

name Mountains loom up darkly just

Turner had boon stationed at Dew
IFS Slide only since July l. About
a month ago he was married to a
sweetheart. whom he had wooed IN
the east, prior to- his coming to this
state. The couple were living In the
village and 1t was tho anxiety of the
wife at the continued absence OF her
husband that led to the discovery OF
the body at such an early hour, as the
station would not have been opened
otherwise until about 7 o'clock this
morning Efforts OF the wife to con-
munlcate with her husband by tele-
phone aroused her suspicion that

The Adventures
OF
HERCULES
ADVENTURE NO. 6.
FINDING THE GOLDEN AP-
PIES OF THE HESPER-
IDES.

The most difficult labor Of
all was getting the golden ap-
pies of the Hesperides. for
Hercules did not know where to
find them, These were the
apples which Juno had re-
ceived at her wedding from the
Goddess Of the Earth, and
which she had entrusted to the
keeping of the daughters Of
Hesperus, assisted by watch
full dragon. After various ad-
ventures, Hercules arrived Mt
Mount Atlas in Africa. Atlas
was one Of the Titans who had
warred against the gods, and
after they were subdued, Atlas
was condemned to bear on his
shoulders the weight OF the
heavens. He was the father of
the Hesperides. and Hercules
thought he might, il any one
could, find the apples and
bring them TO him. But how to
send Atlas away from his post.
or bear up the heavens while
he was gonef Hercules took
the burden upon his own shoul-
dcrs, and sent Atlas to seek the
apples. He returned with them,
and though somewhat reluct-
antly. took his burden upon
his shoulders again, and let
Hercules return with the ap-
pies to Eurystheus.
Milton, in his "Comus. "
mades the Hespcrides the
daughters of Hesperus and
nieces Of Atlas:

the west as region of bright
! ness and glory. Hence they
placed IL in the Isles of the
Blest, the ruddy Isle Eurythea,
on which the bright oxen of
Gcryon were pastrred, and the
Isle of Hesperides. The apples
are supposed by some to be the
oranges of Spain, of which the
Greeks had heard some obscure
accounts.
