attack on a 17-year-old girl, was SEN
fenced in the West Side Court to

in the penitentiary.
Judge Sheafor pronounced the SEN
tence after denying, the prisoner new
trial. Morning session of court was
consumed by arguments from Mon
tague's attorney, asking that the first
trial be set aside
The attorney claimed that group
OF Denver club women who inter
ested themselves in the prosecution
of his client had prejudiced the jury
court and their solicitude for the
young girl complainant.
After the noon recess Jude Shea
for announced that the new trial
would be denied. He asked Mon
tague if he had anything to say be-
fore sentence was pronounced. The
prisoner shook his head and the court
then condemned him to prison, CIV
ing him halfway term between the
five-year minimum and the life maxi
mum.
Notice of appeal to the Supreme
Court was given, and Montague re-
ceived sixty-day stay of execution.
In the courtroom at the time were
Mrs. Montague, who still maintains
her husbands innocence and who was
the chief witness for the defense, and
Montague's mother, who collapsed
when she heard the prisoners fate.

For hours the American cavalrymen
followed Manuel Lopez, one of Villas
lieutenants, and his bandits through
tortuous winding caiions and almost
impossible trails of the mountains.
Believing they had eluded their pur-

YOUTH RoBS OVERLAND
Jumps From Car Going 80 Miles an
Hour Near Cheyenne and
Makes His ESCAPE,

Denver, April 5.-A youthful lone
bandit climbed over the iron railing
on the observation car of the west
bound DE Luxe" Overland Limited
just as that crack train of the Union
Pacific system was leaving the Chey-
enne yards Tuesday night. No sooner
had the boyish-looking intruder alight-
ed on his feet than two blue steel re-
volvers covered the seven passengers
through the open door. The bandit
leaned against the door of the car,
smiling and suave. He ordered the
train stenographer to pass the hat, "
and the young man obeyed, using his
uniform cap Don't bother the wom-
en-" ordered the boyish-faced bandit.
The five men had given $500 and a
gold watch and chain and were still
contributing, when Flagman Hudson
entered the car. The railroad man
took in the situation at glance. He
backed out, locked the observation car
door behind him, cut the bell cord,
and the robber was shut off from all
but those in the car who stood with
hands in the air. Seeing his probable
plans baked, the robber started
toward the retreating flagman, recon-
sidered, and, still smiling and courtly,
grabbed the cap filled with money and
watches, and started for the door of
the car.
Porter, make you a present"
the bandit said, as he reached in his
pocket, took out a watch he wore,
and handed it to the porter. 81 got
that watch in my last hold-up," the
bandit said, as he turned, measured
the distance-and jumped from the
train, then moving 80 miles an hour.
Government officials, Cheyenne au-
thorities and the sheriff at Laramie
believe the boy bandit to be the same
one who robbed the passengers at
Rock Springs in February and effect
ed the recent train robbery near Og-
den. All say the boy bandit is none
other than the boy pal' OF Edward
F. Trafton, now dying in Leavenworth
prison, who with his hoy pal" is sup
posed to have held up the twelve
stage coaches in Yellowstone Park In
July. 1915, and robbed hundreds.
Train-robbery In Wyoming is a CAPT
tai crime. A reward of $1,000 is of
fered for the bandits capture.
