horpe here also they were met by mr F J cannon who had bid run I timit ut from ogden 0 meet his fattier father but did clid not see hun owing to his having retired for the rhe promontory was rea reached between 6 and 7 yesterday morning and shortly after passing that station president cannon had occasion tego to go the closet which was in the front end of the car of which he occupied the rear state stateroom rodni on returning to the stati room toe the air felt so oppressive that lie he opened the door and stepped out on the platform scarcely had he done cowhen a sudden lurch probably caused by passing a curve on the track threw him off his balance and failing to catch the handrail he FELL OFF THE TRAIT TRAIN alighting at full fall length on the frozen ground the train was going at the rate of about 12 miles pei hour and the fall was a severe one his aase was brokenik and a jagged gash about an inch and a half in length cut to the skull I 1 just above his bis left eye and extending through his eyebrow the whole of the left side of his head was badly bruised and his face skinned his left arm was hurt so badly as to disable it and his left thigh also severely lyt bruised the h prisoner was missed by marshal trel ireland and almost as soon as he fell and a search was immediately instituted through all the train for him which was kept up until a da distance 1 8 of about tour four miles bad been bee traversed when the train was stopped and deputy greenman Grec got off and started back mr hyde who had up to this momet moment been kept in the dark as to what had occurred asked a brakeman why mr greenman was I 1 saving th the train etrain the reply was you ought to know 1 but on mr hy hyde d e assuring hi him m that he did not he was informed that the prisoner was missing the brakeman also stated that he saw paw him standing upon the platform of the car ant and his opinion was that he be had jumped off the run from that point to blue creek the next station 10 miles east of the promontory rom antory was made in the midst of the deepest anxiety on the part of marshal marhl ireland and the friends of the prisoner the first evidently believing his prisoner had bad purposely attempted to escape while the others were sure that he roust must have accidentally fallen off the train and feared the worst results That they were right in their conjecture was soon confirmed when a telegraphic dis dispatch patch from the promontory was received stating that mr greenman had arrived there with the prisoner who had accidentally dental lv fallen from the train mr hyde remained at blue creek with the marshal but F J cannon in despair of not being able to obtain a conveyance at that station to return continued on to corinne where he hired a horse and rode back mr ireland found on telegraphing to the promontory that an engine could be obtained there and it was sent for after caiti waiting an hour and a halt half it arrived and ireland hyde and two deputy marshals who bad been i sworn in at blue creek returned by it un on their ARRIVAL AT THE promontory they found the prisoner on a lounge in the hotel with his head bandaged and mr greenman waiting upon him captain greenman had found the prisoner wandering ag listlessly around n near nar ar where he had fallen apparently patently ly in a dazed condition from the effects of his injuries his overcoat and pants badly torn tora and almost covered with blood mr johnw taylor a correspondent of tile the saul san francisco chronicle who resides in that vicinity and is largely interested in stock raising met them before they arrived at the promontory station accompanied them thither and afterwards did all he could both to relieve the suffering of president cannon and to send a cor statement of the accident to this city and elsewhere no one inure believed there had been any attempt at escape on the part of the prisoner toe manner of his bis alighting on en the ground being conclusive proof that it was waa an accidental fall and not a leap for liberty as stated it was evident too that if he had wanted to escape lie he had many better chances of doing so before especially while coming slowly into the promontory station and while darkness prevailed instead of waiting for open daylight and then jumping off lu in a ar desert country where there was no possibility ot of help it has been mentioned as a reason for the belief entertained by some that he did attempt to escape that he had a quantity of bread ana aula a half pint flask ot of water in the pockets of his overcoat when found hut but th the e presence of these is easily explained fearing there might be an effort made on the journey to this elty city to exhibit him to the gaze of the curious at eating houses where stoppages were made for meals he requested mr air arnold to purchase some bread for him before leavin leaving winnemucca which he could eat iwais la his stateroom and save the necessity nece sity of leaving the train this he had in ih his coat pucketts poc ketas anyone have seen when he started the mail bottle of water was used in taking medicine and aid he filled it t on the train two or three ti times mes la in the cresenc pre of marshal ireland other proofs might also be cited of the of the ie plea that he attempted to escape from mr ir F J cannon other par ti ticul ara were obtained early in the they heard that SOLDIERS WERE COMING this was discredited because marshal ireland had pledged his bis word that eident Lr cannon would not be down earlier than this morning Bio ruing as lie he was in a very critical con condition it bad been rumored that he was to be taken baken down on the engine and that judge powers had several times demanded that such an inhuman course should be followed marshal ireland admitted that this would be infamous and informed president cannons attendants that if they would guarantee his safety to salt lake he be would not be moved at 1030 p in the troops arrived and a demand was made that the return be made at once the clamor for this became so loud that marshal ireland was reminded of his promise A surl geon dr carnahan carnaban was telegraphed for from ogden and carne came up on the regular train dr potter came me up with the troops and the marshal replied that it would atwould depend on what the physicians said of 0 prest
