Looking up, he saw Creek backing towards him, followed by Loomis; the latter had his right hand on his pistol which was partly drawn from his pants pocket; his thumb was on the eock. Witness saw tbe handle and cylinder of the pistol, and remarked, "Gentlemen, you had belter go off the platform and shooV and not murder people here." Loomis answered, "Perhaps you want sorue." Witness replied, ' "Not any thank you." By this time,' Creek, who also had his hand on his pistol, was within two feet of witness, and Loomis four or five feet further west.

David Conway was at the Salt Lake depot last Friday evening when the mixed train was about leaving for Ogden.

Young Kiewe, who seemed to feel what he done, keenly, was walking away when he was stopped by J. E. Banks, a man waiting here on his way East, and handed over . to the police. Coroner W. N.
