HEAGER DETAILS.
What information is available here H
is obtained from meager messages fl
1 sont t Southern Pacific offices here
I by members of the train crew. ff
Piom this Information It seems that H
1 the train, of which L. S Jensen was H
1 the conductor. T. C. Matthews brake- H
man and A J Cairns was flagman, H
stopped on account of the danger slg- H

J the signal had been tampered with. H
Pe man was close to the tracks and H
three were a short instance away and H
' seemed to be fighting. H
MIGHT BE RUSE.
Whether this fight was staged to
dra.. t .'ie member., of the crew away
from the train so the) might lie fore- f
: tbly detained Is a theory that is being H
used us a basis for one line of inves- H
mother theory that the whole af

batteries from the signal boxes is not
I given much support In some 'iuarters
i.e. ause of the general behavior of
1 the characters involved.
Sheriff H. C. Peterson and city po
I lice received notice of the slopping of LH
I the train and deputy sheriffs went lo
. ihe scene. They found the block sig- LH
nal wire had beon cut and found tho
tracks of an automobile. The tires

lance In the direction of Ogden.
At tho scene of the supposed hold
up the officers .'aid they found scraps H
of tood and watermelon rind, indicate
ing the men had watted at the scene
for some time.
FORMER ROBBERY.
The scene of the supposed attempt
' to hold up and rob a Southern Pacific
train is not far from Reese, the scene
of the famous robbery and murder in
1 the winter of 1910-11. At that time
I two men committed the robbery and
killing. Nobody was ever convicted LH
of the crime, but Joseph Henry Mar
tin in letters to his 1 igden blackmail
1 victims, boasted that he was the chief
; actor in the drama
CARRIED BULLION.
Interest was added to the strange
I I set of circumstances irj view of the
