BANDITS HOLD UP
TRAIN IN UTAH
LIFE OF ONE NEGRO PORTER IS
TAKEN AND ANOTHER IS
SHOT DOWN.
OVERLAND LIMITED ON THE S. P,
One Hundred Passengers Robbed by
Two Masked Men Near
Ogden.-Posse in
Pursuit.

Ogden, Jan. 4. Southern Pacific
train No. l, the Overland Limited
westbound, was held up by two masked
bandits at Reese. nine miles west o.
Ogden. One negro porter was shot
and instantly killed and another port
er was MORALLY wounded. A passen
ger was slightly wounded.
One hundred passengers on the train
were relieved of their valuables. The
robbers did not attempt to enter the
express car, but devoted their entire
| attention to the Pulmans, where they
made a rich haul among the California
bound passengers, holding the train
| fer more than an hour. The train pro-
ceeded westward. No passenger es
capped the robbers and the trainmen
also lost their money and jewelry.
The sheriff and police department
were Immediately notified and posses
left the city for the scene OF the hold,
up in automobiles and on special
train. Posses from the nearby towns
are working toward Reese.
Red Light Stops Train.
Two masked men stopped the train
at the little watering station by throw
ing the red light on the signal stand
toward the approaching locomotive.
AS it came to standstil the bandits
covered the engineer and fireman with
their revolvers and held them until
the conductor ran up to investigate
the delay. He, too, was placed under
guard. One of the robbers left the
trainmen in charge of his companion
and started through the train from
the forward end. He encountered two
porters on his way and when they dis.
regarded his commands he shot one
down and wounded the other. A cur
ious passenger also was wounded, it
is said. The shots aroused the &C.
cupants of the cars and when the
bandit appeared with an open sack
and menacing pistol the passengers
were perfectly willing to contribute
to his collection. He went through
the entire train, stopping at every
berth and making deliberate search.
After robbing the two girls, the
daughters of Bishop Wayment of the
Mormon church at Warren, the high
waymen drove toward the city.
This is the second train robbery &C.
curing within 10 miles of Ogden in
the last six months. On June 81. 1910.
at midnight, an Oregon Short Line
train was held up and robbed at Five
Points crossing. just north of Ogden.
The robbers went through the smok
ing car and chair car, but were fright
elled away before searching the Pull
mans. In both cases tall and short
built men conducted the hold-ups, in
much the same manner.
"A posse OF officers heavily armed
have trailcd the two bandits to point
four miles beyond the scene OF the
holdup. They are believed to be
headed toward this city.
The money loss among the passen.
gers was from $4,000 to $500.

 TULANE TOMORROW
First and Only Big Game At onl- yersity Scheduled for Satur-
 day

University, November 9.-(Special.)-Ihe first and only big game that Alabama will play on the campus this year will be pulled off Saturday against Tulane. According to the dope on comparative scores the Alabamians are good Dlt in the lead of Tulane, but after the lat ter played Sewanee and held them 10 such a low score, every bit of over-con- fdence has vanished from Graves bunch, and they will go into the game knowing that they will have to fight hard and prepared to do it. Last year it took all that Alabama could muster to beat Tu- lane by the narrow margin of one point, but as both teams have shown such a marked improvement over last year 1t would be hard to say which way the tide will turn. The Alabama squad, how ever. is acknowledged to be a shade the better of the two.
 Coach Graves has been putting his team through some hard practice In prepara- tion for the game Saturday. Monday after the trip to Marion, the team only ran signals, but Tuesday witnessed one of the most gruelling scrimmages Of the year Powell, a varsity tackle, suffered a fractured nose, but will be able to play in the game Saturday all right.
 Brooks Garrett, who Is playing an end on Tulane this year, is an old Alabama man. Garrett played left end on Ala bama the last year that Pollard coached the team, and although his playing was never characterized by brilliancy he is remembered as one of the steadiest play CTS and surest tacklers that ever wore a Crimson jersey.
