ruthless in their work that they tore
the rings from the ears oil Mrs, j. FL.
Ball who was a passenger on the
train.
The train hardly had been released
from the place of the robbery when
Detective Pender and other officers
were dispatched from the depot in an
engine. They were on the sceno
within few minutes.
After the robbery. the holdups' rig
was driven west through Statewide.
1t could be traced TO point four or
five miles from Statewide, but the
sand and gravel in the road was so
heavy that when the searching party
came to the cross-road 1t could not
be determined whether the rig went
north. toward the Hot Springs. or
south, In the direction OF Davis coun-
ty.
The local officers returned TO the
city for food and to let the men who
had been on duty all night retire.
Their places were filled with other
men and at 10 o'clock this morning

George Lewis of the Union Pacific

have seen the rig along the roadway
after daylight, If the men continued
TO travel, and if they did not travel
In the day time, or should abandon the
rig and travel in some other way,
The buggy will be found and some In
formation as TO the direction taken
by the men be obtained.
