TRAIN ROBBED AND
PASSENGER SHOT

This morning at $3.50 o'clock the
freight and passenger train from the
main line of the Western Pacific at
Wendover to Deep Creek, was held up
and the passengers and express and
mail cars robbed, one passenger be-
ing shot.
This is the regular train to the new
mining camp. and was carrying a
heavy shipment of jewelry to one of
the local firms at Gold Hill. When
the train neared Salt Springs, IL miles
south of Wendover, a siding used by
duck hunters, as the springs at this
place make marsh of several acres,
the train was tagged, the robbers
using an ordinary lantern wrapped in
a red sweater.
When the engine came to a stop a
man jumped upon the running board
and showing a gun in the faces of the
engineer and fireman, commanded
them to throw up their hands.
The passenger coach, on the rear
OF the train was quickly surrounded
by three other men, who began shoot
ing and yelling One of the men en-
tered the coach and commanded the
passengers and crew to step out into
the darkness and line up by the side
Of the track. One of the passengers,
Charles Barberry, of Salt Lake City,
him through the thigh. There was no
resistance after this and the robbers
went through the passengers, taking
their money and jewelry.
They then went to the express car
and took three sealed packages from
the safe. one of the packages contain
ing diamond necklace valued at
5000, the value of the other jewelry
has not been ascertained.
Only one sack of mail was taken,
the registered sack, which was taken
out of the coach and cut open and
the packages and letters taken. What
their value was will not be learned
until the postal authorities take up
the robbery, but it is said that the
haul will amount to $4,000.

not to follow, the robbers faded away
in the darkness. and soon the sound
of running horses could be heard The
train was backed to the main line at
Wendover, and the first message re-
ceived here arrived at six o'clock, ask
ing that the officers be notified and a
posse be sent.
Salt Springs is in Utah, just a few
hundred yards over the line, and as
the robbery was committed in that
state, the officers here felt that they
could only cooperate, and Deputy
Sheriff McMullen left on the east
bound train for the scene.
The siding is used but little, and at
this time of the year by duck hunters,
as the big salt marsh made by the
springs. from whence it gets its name,
is covered with migratory ducks. The
engineer said that when he saw the
red light he had no idea but that Il
was party of hunters going home.
The man who was shot was taken
to Salt Lake City to the hospital and
is not in any serious danger.-I Elxo

ARE
UNITING IN ACTION

The official call was issued last
week for the forty-ninth annual con-
vention OF the National American
Woman Suffrage association. to be
held in Washington, December IL to
10. Washington was selected as the
meeting place, so that pressure might
be brought to bear upon congress in
favor of the pending woman suffrage
amendment. The delegates. who are
expected to number more than 1000.
represent some 100000 women in
every state in the Union. The call
says:
For the forty-ninth time in its his
tory the National American Woman
Suffrage association issues a call to
its state auxiliaries to send their
elected delegates to meet with Off
GERS, committees and life members in
annual convention. The place selected
is Washington, d. c., December IL to
10, 1917.
Since last we met, the all-engul-
fling world war has drawn our own
country into it's maelstrom. Every al
lied nation has announced that it is
fighting for democracy, and our
President has declared that we are
fighting for democracy for the right
of those who submit to authority to
have a voice in their own govern
ment Now Russia has answered the
call; Great Britain has pledged full
suffrage for women, and the measure
has already passed the House of
Commons by the enormous majority
of seven to one. Canada, too, has re-
3ponded with five newly franchised
provinces; France is waiting only to
drive the foe from her soil to give her
women political liberty.
Such an array of victories gives
IS faith to believe that our own gov
arnment will soon follow the example
of other allied nations and will also
pledge votes to its women citizens as
an earnest of its sincerity that in
truth we do fight for democracy.
This is our first national eonyen-
AlOh oAhNt Jul NpuAAAy CnlEiGu lllC
war We are faced with new pro-
blems and new issues. and the nation
is realizing its dependence upon
'wcmse as never before. IL must be
made to realize also that, willingly as
women are now serving, they can
serve still more efficiently when they
shall have received the full measure
of citizenship. These facts must be
urged upon congress and our gov
ernment must be convinced that the
time has come for the enfranchise-
ment of women, by means of an
amendment to the federal constitution.
Men and women who believe that
the great question of world democracy
includes government of the people, by
the people and for the people in our
country are invited to attend our con-
vention and counsel with us on ways
and means to attain this object at the
earliest possible moment"
The call is signed by DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw. honorary president;
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president,
and members of the national board.
