William Davis, a negro ne-gro porter, was shot and killed, A. N. Taylor, another" negro porter, of Ogden, Og-den, seriously wounded, three passengers passen-gers were clubbed over the head willi guns and 100 passengers were robbed when the Overland Limited train of the Union Pacific was held up at Reese, a station twelve miles west of Ogden, at 11 o'clock Monday night by two masked men. The passengers of the train were stripped of all of their money and jewelry, amounting to thousands ol dollars. Afler the highwaymen had stopped the train at the lonely station by means of the block signal, they cut off the engine and baggage car rrom the rest of the train and proceeded to search the Pullmans. Davis and Taylor attempted to resist re-sist the highwaymen and were mercilessly mer-cilessly shot down. Davis was instantly in-stantly killed and Taylor was struck In the right arm, which was shattered by the bullet. Each person on the train was systematically sys-tematically searched and scarcely anything any-thing of value was overlooked. Watches, rings, jewelry and money formed the loot taken by the holdup man as he proceeded leisurely through each coach. There were more than 100 passengers on the train and almost al-most everyone, it is believed, contributed contrib-uted something to the loot stolen by the robber. For an hour and fifteen minutes the train robbers kept the limited at the little station. It was not until the highwaymen who was searching the train had finished the last coach that they were satisfied. With pockets bulging with the stolen money and jewelry, the highwaymen swung off the last coach. It was fully an hour after the robbery rob-bery before the train reached a telegraph tele-graph office and reported the robbery, rob-bery, and a posse was in pursuit of the robbers, but it is thought ' the hour's start has enabled the men to elude the officers. |
