Of Highwayman and Is Killed, Two
Other Persons Being Wounded.
Ogden, Utah, Jan. 4.-Southern Pa
cifc train No. 1, the Overland Limited,
%westbound, was held up by two
masked bandits at Reese, nine miles
west of Ogden.
One negro porter was shot and in.
stantly killed and another porter was
mortally wounded. A passenger was
slightly wounded. One hundred pas.
sengers on the train were relieved OF
their v%aluables.
The robbers did not attempt to enter
the express ear, but devoted their en-
tire attention to the Pullmans, where
they made a rich haul among the Cali.
fornia bound passengers, holding the
train for more than an hour. The
train then proceeded westward.
No passenger escaped the robbers
and the trainmen also lost their mon.
ey and jewelry.
AT 1890 a. NJ. Conductor Cunning.
ha.o advised the superintendent OF.
hs at this place of the holdup. Tho
sheriff and police department were i'm
mediately notified and posses left the
city for the scene Of the holdup in
automobiles and on a special train.
Posses from the nearby towns are
working toward Reese.
Stop Train by Signal.
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 a. standstill 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 train men
in his companions charge and started
through the train from the forward
end. He encountered two porters on
his way and when they disregarded
his command he shot one down and
wounded the other. A curious pas.
senger was also wounded.
The shots aroused the occupants of
the cars, and when the holdup man
appeared with an open sack and a
menacing pistol the passengers ere
perfectly willing to contribute to his
collection.
He went through the entire train,
stopping at every berth and making a
deliberate search.
After completing their work, the rob.
bers drove away in a vehicle. About
four miles from Reese, they met two
girls who were returning from a dance.
The girls we're relieved of their
purses.

The affair took ON the dimensions
of a veritable battle. The civil au-

these were not brought into actual

the seem when the fighting was at its
height and assisted in the work of
subduing the remarkable outbreak.
The extent of fatalities and injured

Washington, Jan. THE senate
committee on inter-oceanic canal took
an action today OF far reaching import
ance with respect to the Panama can

Il will be not merely TO build up a
great coast wise trade between the At
lantic and Pacific coasts. which VIII
pass through the canal. but that II
will also build u the merchant marine
and will provide the navy with the
golfers and other available vessels
needed by II In time OF war.
The committee voted TO report out
the Mann bill for the government of
the canal zone and with 1t an amend.
ment proposed by Senator Flint that
would exempt the vessels OF the Un-
tied States engaged in the coastwise
trade from the payment Of canal tolls.
Further than this. the amendment
practically compels railroad compan'
les to give up the ownership Of lines
by providing that vessels owned by
any railroad company shall not be
exempt from canal tolls. The amend
ment Axes the tolls through the canal
at not less than so cents and not over
$3.50 net ton. The president Is given
authority TO fix rates within these linn
It's.
A most important provision OF Sen
ator Flint's amendment Is that any
merchant vessel which shall accept

the United States at any time. The
question OF the value OF the vessel

It has often been noticed when tim
Der has been cleared from a piece of
land and titled crop planted that
weeds put Ia an appearance which do
not usually grow in wooded tracts.
An easier way Of explaining this than
contending that the seed has been ~.
ing dormant in the soil is that birds
deposited the weed seeds in their drop
pings after the land was broken and
planted.
