Ira MacFarland to

For twenty five years Mr.. Mcfarland
was in charge of the drilling depart
ment Of the Ingersoll-Rand Company
of New York City. a concern doing
business all over the world. While In
the employ of this company Mr. Mac

Iilipah company Is certaini; fortunate
IN securing the services 81 a man of
SO wide experience as Mr.. mcfarland.
Owing to the heavy snow Mr.. Mac
Farland has been unable to get out to
the drill, but expects to be able to do
so within a few days. Word has come
In. however. that the drill is down over
800 feet and is pounding away and
making good progress. considering
they are now in a rather hard forma-
tion of limestone. Judging from the
formations already passed through and
that which the drill is in at the pres

unlikely that a considerable flow of

within the next 100 feet. He also says

Mr.. Cushing began railroad work for

where he remained two years. In 1882
he entered the passenger department as

in private life, although he devotes
that life to the public. While he was

the public lands committee and father
of the bill that introduced the great
seal of the state to Utah.

this morning bluffed down a would-be
holdup man who had him covered and
compelled him to back out of the hotel
without getting a penny for his
trouble. Garrity. unarmed, accomp-
lished the feat purely on his pluck.
The attempted robbery occurred at
about 2:30 O'Clock in the morning, just
a few moments after Garrity had
shown John Thompson, who registered
as from Chicago. had been shown a
room. Thompson. who was seen
talking to the bandit a few minutes

ed up for the night as an accomplice
in the crime. He was given a prelim-

and locked in the county jail The

corridor as GarritV took his place be-
hind the counter. after returning from
Thompson to his room, was
armed with gun. He commanded
Clarity TO throw up his hands and to
turn over what money there was in
the safe and cash register. Garrity,
however, refused to accept the chal-
lenge and started ont from behind the
desk toward the robber. The bold bad
man for some uneXplaiuable reason
decided he didn't want to hold his gun
on Garrity any longer and took to his
heels
After driving the bandit into the
street, Clarity recalled having wit
messed a conversation between him
and Thompson. He notified the po-
lice and Th0mpsOn's arrest followed.
Thompson's past is being looked up
today. to ascertain if possible. wheth-
er or not he had any connections
with the mysterious murder last night

MURDER MYSTERY AT LELAND.
SUPPOSED Thief IS.
FOUND DEAD NEAR.
SCENE Of ROBBERY

Unparalleled for mystery in Ii
Sale county crime annals, Sheriff
Ayers this morning started TO un.
ravel, if possible, the almost
hopeless targle associated with
the finding this morning of the
murdered body of supposed
bandit at Leland, twenty-five
miles north of OTTAWA.
Some of the questions Sheriff
Ayers will have to solve are:
VS. the man in reality a bandit?
Is he the man whose name was
found on letters in his pocket?
Couldn't the robbery have been
merely blind for a brutal staying
and the body "planted' near the
scere to throw authorities off the
track? In that case the mans
pockets probably were filled with
false addresses and his real iden-
tity made the harder to trace?
Could he be a stool" who had
been discovered whose associations
with the police or detectives spell
ed death when he joined the gang
for a little sortie Of crime to "eet
the goods on them while operating
in la Sale county?
It is possible the staying occur
red miles from Leland. as no one
in the village will admit positively
having heard shots during the night
and the body taken by auto and
dumped back Of the Erickson ga
rage where a phoney burglary was
pulled off to conceal the heal mo-
tive for tho tragedy.
The fact that the dead man had
Sf.10O in currency on his person
would indicate that something
deeper than robbery lay behind the
crime.
Those who have viewed the face
say there is little of the criminal
in any of it's features.
If the murdered man is a bandit,
why was he slain by his pals un-
less there had been a quarrel over
the divisions Of this loot? In that
case perhaps the front end' Job
consisted Of the share for the men
who escaped The stack Of tires
and speedy death probably was the
portion left for the victim.
Is the dead man stranger who
accidentally stumbled upon the rob-
berry as the thisves were at work
and vas shot dead before he had
any chance to protect himself, or
flee the scene?
If he was a member Of the gang
What was he doing with so much
money on his psrson and why was
he not armed. No gnu has been
found to indicate it belonged to the
dead man.
Three Holes in Body.

memory OF the oldest inhabitants
