PRISONER
IS ARRESTED AGAIN

a man giving his name as +. l. Wood
was arrested last night by Policeman
GlasscOck after he had been identified
by Harry Shedd as the man who had
escaped from him several days ago
when arrested on a charge of stealing
a motor car.
Several days ago Mr.. Shedd recog-
nized a motor car that had been re-
ported stolen from DR.. Lily. Watching
the car he saw a young man get into
1T and attempt to start it. Mr.. Shedd
utilized his special commission as Off
GER to place the man under arrest. but
lost his prisoner through a hoax. Since
then Mr.. Shedd has been watching for
the escaped prisoner and recognized
Wood as the man when he saw him
standing in front of a pool room last
night. Not taking any more chances,
Mr.. Shedd called for policeman and
Wood is now in the city jail.

OGDEN, Utah, Sept. 5.-The mys-
terious stopping of a Southern Pacific
express train near ogden Thursday
night, which resulted in a report to
Ogden police that a holdup was at
tempted, was solved today with the ar
rest of John W. Ross, 29, a farmer, liv-
ing near here.
Sheriff II. c. Peterson said Ross
made a ''clean breast of the affair
to the sheriff, H. II. Gordon, railroad
special agent, and Robert Burk, cap
tain of detectives, after the three had
arrested Ross.
Ross said he and three companions
went to Little Mountain Thursday in
an automobile in which there was a
liberal quantity of home brew. They
were looking for old railroad ties.
Ross, according to the sheriff, said he
grew reckless and broke open the
block signal box, disconnected the
wires and crippled the battery. caus
ing the signal to register danger.
When the train stopped Ross was
questioned by the flagman and ac
cording to Peterson, admitted ne fired
one shot with his pistol. Ross was
discharged from the army two months
ago and was in uniform at the time
of the trouble. His three companions
were not arrested.
