Show I 1 SALT LAKE AND 0 3 UTAH NATIONAL HAS mysterious LOSS salt lake feb 9 the tribune says that early in january ari an em me aloye of the utah national bank one of salt lakes best known financial institutions appropriated to himself between and in cash the money which was taken during the first ten days in january was in the reserve money chest the combination was known to two men one of these had been given the figures during the absence of another and he had them scaled in an envelope for use in case of an emergency some time last fall lie he had occasion to break the seal andi and i open the chest ile he inadvertently placed the unsealed I 1 ed envelope containing the combination in his own money chest to which others had access this fact has thus far made it impossible to discover

intricate sensational and baffling in the history of thi the entire west and one that promises to be as difficult a case as has over ever been handled by the men of the pinkerton detective agency but few fiction writers of the country have given the public stories of bank robberies with situations more puzzling disconcerting or filled with more peculiar incidents than the situation tio which for the past four weeks has withstood the efforts of three of the best detectives in the country and the directors of the uth utah national at some tim since the middle of last september one or more men
