through the car and take from the
passengers whatever they could get
in the way of money and jewelry.
When they had secured all that was
in sight, they left the car and went
to the engineer and made him
switch his engine with the view of
running them back toward Ogden,
but in this they were frustrated as
a freight train was coming up the
track. The men abandoned the en-
gine and started afoot for Ogden and
had not gone far before they met
some young folks in a buggy, who
were returning from a dance. After
holding them up and securing but
little in the way of money and 9TH
er valuables, continued on to theil
destination, which was presumably
Ogden.
Up until the present time no clew
of the robbers has been found, not
withstanding the entire detective
force of Ogden. as well as Other
Utah towns, with the assistance ot
the Pinkertons and Southern Pacifi,
man hunters have run down every
possible clew.
The detectives are of an unani
nous opinion that the bandits were
the same men, who about a year age
held up a train east of Salt Lake, az
the shotgun shells that were found
in the coach were of an unusual anC
out-of-date make and in every wa,
similar to those found at the tim'
of the hold up a year ago.
That the men have had railroad
experience was shown by the man
ner in which they manipulated thu
block system to indicate anothe
train was but short distance aheat
and which had the effect of making
the engineer stop his train.
In view of the GOODNESS of the mel
adm their apparent fearlessness ha
made a number of our people thinl
that possibly they are of the sam
gang of outlaws that held up tn
Southern Club several months ago
and this view is strengthened by thu
fact that the Ely holdup men wer'
tracked to ogden. where all clew o
them was lost.

LOOKS LIKE NEW
RAILROAD FOR
ELY DISTRICT
LINK FROM SHAFT
ER TO GOLDFIELD By WAY
OF ELY WILL PROBABLY BE
BUILT SOON.

During the past week the San
Francisco papers have given much
front page space to the formation of
the United Properties companies with
a capitalization of 5000, 900, 900.
According to reports the new COM
pany is being backed by the combin-
ed wealth of James ]. Hill and
"Borax" Smith.
The immense capitalization of the
new enterprise is the one thing that
will appeal to most people, but to
the citizens of this district, 1t has
Significance of much greater i'm
portance than is seen on its face, as
there is every reason TO suppose that
| it means the building of road from
| the Western Pacific at Shafter
through Ely and thence to connect
with the Tonopah and Tidewater
railroad at Goldfeld. From the ac-
counts given of the United Proper
ties company, that company takes
over the Western Pacific, which was
supposed to have fallen into the
hands of the Hartman system, as
well as the Key Route line at Oak
land, which gives the new company
an entrance to San Francisco, which
Hill has been trying to secure for a
number of years and will also make
1t possible for him to drive his line
through to San Diego, where he
wishes to be perfectly entrenched by
the time the Panama Canal has
been completed. Should the EN-
pire Builder" be successful in this
undertaking, he will also make 1t
possible for the "Borax King" to
make the Tonopah and Tidewater
road part of a transcontinental line,
by building from Goldfield to a point
on the Western Pacific.
For several years the Tonopah
and Tidewater has been a losing
proposition and the controlling fac
tors have been trying TO secure the
finances to bring it into this district
with the view of handling the i'm
mense ore tonnage that will come
from the properties between Gold
field and Ely, as well as the Giroux
ores, through which property the
proposed road was surveyed There
is no question that Smith was to a
certain degree Influenced to become
identified with the United Properties
company so that he could place his
road on dividend paying basis and
this will be accomplished If the Hill
Smith merging of interests becomes
an assured fact, and if the reports
in the San Francisco papers are to
be relied on. then the people of this
district can look ahead to building
of much talked of Ely-Goldfeld roaa.

miles when the block system indi-
Gated there was another train on the
same block but as no orders had
been given to that effect, the brake
man walked ahead to see If the sys-
tenn could be defective, and on reach
ing the objective point, was told TO
throw up his hands ty two men, who
wore nose masks but who were not
otherwise disguised. On complying
with the orders of the bandits, the
brakeman was marched back to the
train and compelled to carry the sack
into which the holdup men were to
throw their loot. On reaching the
first Pullman, the three men entered
the car and, in passing the drawing
room, the robbers noticed two por-
ters, and stepped into the compart-
ment and one of the men, without a
word of warning, emptied the con-
tents of a double barreled shotgun
into one of the porters and killed
him instantly, the other porter was
then shot throught the arm and fell
to the floor and acted as though he
had been fatally wounded. knowing
that II he gave evidence of being 9TH
erwise, he would cause the bandits
to open fire on him again. The two
men, with the unwilling assistance
of the brakeman. proceeded to go

pointive power will soon be called
upon to name a man for one of these
three places.
This will come about through the
resignation of H. E. Thurtell, who
intends to leave Nevada and go to

been offered a position as examiner
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
This announcement will come as
a surprise to many people, inasmuch

Thurtelrs resignation will result

same party. Thurtell was appointed
