TWO men ROB TRAIN |
PASSENGERS ON THE OVERLAND
LIMITED GIVEN VIVID REMIN-
DER OF BORDER DAYS.
Bandits Shot Down Those Who Re.
sisted, Killing One Man, Seriously
Injured Another and Rob Men,
Women and Children Of
Their valuables.

Ogden, Utah.--William Davis, NJ
gro porter, was shot and killed. A. N.
Taylor, another negro porter, Of Og-
den, seriously wounded, three passen-
gers were dubbed over the head
with guns and 100 passengers were
robbed when the Overland Limited
train of the Union Pacific was held
up at Reese, station twelve miles
west of Ogden, at II o'clock Monday
night by two masked men.
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 station by
means Of the block signal, they cut
of the engine and baggage car from
the rest of the train and proceeded to
search the Pullmans.
Davis and Taylor attempted to re.
sist the highwaymen and were mer
cilessly shot down. Davis was in.
stantly killed and Taylor was struck
In the right arm, which was shattered
by the bullet.
Each person on the train was sys.
tematically searched and scarcely any.
thing of value was overlooked.
Watches, rings, jewelry and money
formed the loot taken by the holdup
man as he proceeded leisurely through
each coach. There were more than
100 passengers on the train and al.
most everyone, 1t Is believed, contrib.
uted something to the loot stolen by
the robber.
For an hour and fifteen minutes the
train robbers kept the limited at the
little station. It was not until the
highwaymen who was searching the
train had finished the last coach that
they were satisfied. With pockets
bullying with the stolen money and
jewelry, the highwaymen swung of
the last coach.
1t was fully an hour after the rob
berry before the train reached tele.

the robbers, but it is thought the
hours start has enabled the men to
elude the officers.
