There were two sacks of silver, one of $1000, one of $860, one sack of gold containing $i000, and a satchel holding the rolls and checks for another thousand dollars, in all $9860. These were transferred to the hands of E. L. Carpenter and a deputy clerk who were at the depot awaiting the arrival. When No. 2 pulled out of Helper the paymaster and deputy crossed over the tracks to the Wasatch companys store, a two- - Be Sure to Attend the $7000 six-shoo- ter ROOST ROUNDUP July in gold.

"The request was backed up by a being pushed into the astonished paymasters face, and he naturally compiled. T. W. Lewis, the clerk, noted the situation at once and made a run into the store with the thousand dollar sack of silver. The bold highwayman then cooly stooped and picked up the other two sacks and satchel handed them to his confederate who was on horseback near at hand. Cassidys pal rode swiftly down the road, but the former was out of luck for a few moments as his horse got loose and started away. He, however, ran rapidly and caught the animal a few yards away, instantly mounted and sped after the man ahead. While Mr. Carpenter was being relieved of the money, the mounted bandit flourished a and fired several shots promiscously, and the only thing done toward preventing their escape until it was too late, was the firing of three shots from the offices of the company as they fled down the road. The robbeiy was accomplished with so much bravado and during the suddenness of this act completely paralyzed the numbers of men who were lounging about near the scene, and there were nearly a hundred of them around and in the store who witnessed the whole af- ROBBERS 28-29-- Page Three SUN-ADVOCA- 30 Price, Utah Passing safely through the lower part of town the robbers stopped a short distance north of y the house and cut the telegraph wires.

"Mr. Carpenter and others followed the highwaymen down the canyon on an engine but did not see them and came on to Price where the news spread like wildfire. Getting back to Mr. Bryner, he stated that one evening a man riding a horse and leading another came to his ranch at sundown and asked to be put up for the night. Mr. Bryner fed the mans horse and allowed him to sleep in the feedway of the stone stable. The man stayed two nights and visited Castle Gate several times telling Mr. Bryner he was looking for work there. On Wednesday, April 21, this man and another came riding rapidly over the Bryner ranch and continued on across a nearby cedar covered bench. Mr. Bryner later learned the highwaymen had made off with $7000 in gold. They succeeded in escaping and vanished into 'the Roost area south and Robbers west of Green River. The man who stayed with Mr. Bryner was thought to be Tom Gissel and his accomplice the notorious and Butch Cassidy.
