Robbers Have Good Start.

Owing to the fact that freight
train was close behind the train Of
ficials of the Overland Limited decided
to run on to Promontory Point instead of
returning to Ogden to get to a telegraph
office. This run of twenty miles took
up about forty minutes and, including
the time it required to get word of the
robbery back to Ogden, gave the ban
dts close to an hours start over the
officers.
One of the fortunate circumstances
of the hoidup was that the robbers. in

was shot and killed, A. n. Taylor,
another negro porter, Of Ogden,
seriously wounded, three passen-
gers were clubbed over the head
with guns and 100 passengers were
robbed when the Overland Linn
tied train of the Union Pacific was
held up at Reese station twelve
miles west of Ogden, at II o'clock
Monday night.
The passengers of the train were
stripped of all of their money and
jewelry, amounting to thousands
Of dollars.
After the highwaymen had
stopped the train at the lonely sta
ton by means of the block signal,
they cut off the engine and bag
gage car from the rest of the tram
and proceeded to search the Pull
mans.
Davis and Taylor attempted to
resist the highwaymen and were
mercilessly shot down. Davis was
instantly killed and Taylor was
struck in the right arm, which was
shattered by the bullet.
When the engine, tender and bag
gage car were cut off in accordance
with the orders of the highwaymen,
the bandits ordered the engineer to
take this part of the train on siding
half mile from the rest of the cars.
Shoot Down Porters.
The highwaymen rode with the en-.
gineer, the fireman and the head
brakeman up the track, and COM
manded the trainmen to stay away
from the rest of the cars. Then the
bandits walked back to the Pullmaus
containing the sleeping passengers.
There they met the porters and in the
brush with them shot Davis and seri- |
ously wounded Taylor.
Boarding the train, the robbers
met with further resistance from three
passengers, who sought to protect
themselves and the rest of the passeu-
gers from the holdup men The high
waymen dubbed their guns and beat
the passengers almost to insensibility,
The robbers went through the train
taking everything of value that could
be found. One of the bandits held up
he passengers with an automatic re-
volver. whilo the other took all the
money and iewelry aud placed it in
arge sack which he carried. On the
rain were many rich people from the
,ast, and from them it is believed the
'obbers took thousands of dollars in
money and .iewclry.

In the absolute equality OF treatment

port of the departments efforts to in
crease the second-class postage rate from
l cent to cents a pound, recently, at
the meeting of the recently created postal
commission. headed by Associate Justice

Court
The hearing was supplementary to
those held in New York. The day was
devoted to an effort to show that the esti-
mates of cost supplied by the postmas-
tiers of the country were conjectured
rather than bona fde The fact that
many of the reports Of the postmasters
had been suppressed because of irregu-
larities was brought out, but it was con-
tended by the post office officials that
even though these estimates should be
discredited- they would have little bear
ing upon the question as whole Charles
