Gundv, whose homo Is In Dcuvot'. had been at Frontier, Wyo., for eighteen months, working at a coal mine as a fireman, lie arrived In Salt Iako City Wcdnoi-dav afternoon over the Oregon Short Line. In coming from the depot he met some men ho knew, and went to visit them at their homo on N'orth Third West Street. He was on his return to the citv proper when tho holdup occurred. In 'telling ubout It, Gundy said: "I was walking along as unconcerned ns you please, with my hands In my pockets. When 1 looked up I saw tho two men standing In tho dark near a building close bv Third West and North Temple streets. When I came close to them, the bigger of the two stepped directly In front of me, and pointing a revolver, which I am sure was like those used In the army, ordered me to throw up my hands. 1 did so without delay. Whilo the revolver was held over me the other man went through my pockets. lie first e.xamlncd inv overcoat pockets, and not finding anything any-thing began feeling of my clothing. Feeling the poeketbook with all the money in. which I carried In the left lilp pocket of my trousers, he reached under my coat and took it. Ho then felt my watch, and took that. "The innn holding the gun then stepped to one side and ordered me to walk on. After going about ten foot I turned around mni saw tliem colmr toward tho houses where we found tho two men that were arrested." Gundy had come to Salt Lako with the intention of remaining here a .few days, j calling on friends, and then was going to Denver to visit his mother. The young man took his loss very well, only saying It was pretty tough to work hard for money and then have it taken uway In such "manner. Money Not Found. The police made a'careful search of the house and premises where the two men were located, but none of tho stolen property prop-erty could bo found. If White and Ken-nalrd Ken-nalrd are the two men who turned the trick they must have changed their clothing cloth-ing before and after tho robbery. They must also have hidden the money, watch and revolver. Gundy feels certain that Iho two men in the city Jail are the ones that robbed him. as they answer exactly tho description descrip-tion of the two. notwithstanding tho fact that they wero not dressed the same when arrested". The men had plenty of time to change their clothing, the police think, after committing the robbery. Another search of the house and premises where the men were located will be made by daylight. When the police arrested Goldberg and I.ccland Tuesday they thought the highway high-way robbing would cease, but the holdup last night was more profltablo to those who did it than all those occurring this winter. Policemen Beta. J. J. Rllcy. Kelly. Gul-branson. Gul-branson. Gillespie and Patrol Driver Brown were tho ones to roundup the two suspects. |
