Three men vere arrested yesterday morning at Dwell s, a hotel on the Madison river just outside of Yellowstone National park, who are believed to be members of the gang who held up and dyna-iii dyna-iii i ted the ! ' ninn Pacific overland ex-paess ex-paess train several days since and se- cured a large sum of money from the express safes, which they blew open. The information regarding their capture was brought here b' the driver dri-ver on the Monida and Yellowstone stage. According to his statement the capture cap-ture was made early in the morning, the camp where the supposed bandits were being surrounded while the men slept. About 8 o'clock the previous night a stranger appeared at Dwell'sand asked for food for three men and also feed for their horses. They declined accommodations ac-commodations in the hotel and after obtaining the needed supplies rode away. The animals they rode had a jaded appearance and two of the men remained away quite a distance from the hotel when the request for supplies was made. After they left the locality it dawned upon the people at the hotel that the man who entered the house answered the description of one of the Union Pacific train robbers. Some of the Yellowstone park scouts who were in the vicinity were notified and they at once started after the men. About daylight the camp of the men was diseoverd. The scouting party surrounded it and when the trio were aroused they looked down the guns of the scouts and surrendered without making any tight. Shortly after the scouts tool: them in charge a start was made for Mammoth Mam-moth Hot Springs, on the north side of the park, from which point the Northern North-ern Pacific railway is easily .reached, and where they will turn the prisoners prison-ers ovor to the authorities. |
