Show HELD UPA TRAIN. A Gang of Hoboes Bring in the Midnight Freight. Sheriff Fowler and Poise go Down to the Depot and Secure the Tough Crowd and Land Them Safely in Jail. At 2-o'clock this morning am eisge came over the wires from Lehi to the night operator of the R. G. W. of this city, to have some officers at the depo to mt;et the east-bound train, No. 12 as there were fifteen tramps on board who had forcibly taken charge of the train. Accordingly, Silas Allied telephoned to the Cosmopolitan Cos-mopolitan hotel to Night Clerk Van Wiekle to notify Sheriff Fowler to have as many 'officers as possible down at the depot at 2:15 o'clock. Sheriff Fowler, Officers White, Night-watchmen Night-watchmen ' Hatlen and Elliot. 1. L. Van Wiekle and a Dispatch reporter started for the depot, arriving there just in time to meet the train A rush was made for the caboose, where it was supposed the men were, but finding find-ing it closed, a search was made along the train until a car was reached where a man was discovered in the act of jumping from the door. . A command to stay there from Sheriff Fowler caused the fellow to consider what he was doing, and on second thought he concluded to stay. He was ordered to dismount, when the train, which had been backing up, came to a standstill, and Sheriff Fowler, jumping up into tf.e car, followed by a brakey with a lantern, persuaded the bahnce to come out. In the meantime the other oflicers had been busy, and had succeeded suc-ceeded in getting two others, making seven all told. There had been others on board, but they had escaped in the darkness, and could not be found. They were marched up town, and arriving at the Sheriff's office were searched and then placed in jail. The conductor of the freight told the oflicers that the men had boaided the train at Bingham Junction stating that they were going to Provo. The constable ordered them off, when one of them pulled a gun and told him to "git," which the conductor did, after being convinced that ill health would be sure to follow if he didn't. j On the arrival of the train at L?hi, j he telegraphed to Proro for officers j with the result above stated. The trainmen stated that several of the i "hoboes" had jumped olf at Uattle j Creek, intending to walk into Provo. The oflicers will be on the lookout for these tellows. i Thecar in which the men weie, was loaded with wool, ami between the bales a shot-gun was found, but none of the "bums" would lay claim to it. These fellows evidently intended to rean a rich harvest whili the circus was absorbing the attention of the people. A special rolice force will be on today to-day and no doubt any breaks made by tramps will be leadily detected. Geo. Hartley, watchmaker and jeweler, begs leave to announce to the people of Provo and Utah county that having just secured the services of F. Lamont, of New York City, who is a practical diamond setter and manufacturing manu-facturing jeweler, lie is now prepared to do diamond setting and manufac turing of all kinds, also gold and silver plating.
