Show I SEARCHING FOR BROKERJBSEPHi Salt Lake, March 20 Milton D. Joseph, Jo-seph, who disappeared with $54,000 last Monday afternoon and for whom a nation-wide search Is being conducted, conduct-ed, may have left Salt Lake about noon last Tuesday. Thomas Hughes, depot master at the Denver fc Rio Grande station, saw Mr. Joseph at the Rio Grande station about noon on Monday or Tuesday. He is unable to say whether it was "Monday "Mon-day or Tuesday on which he saw him, or to fix the exact hour of the day. He Is inclined to the belief that it was about noon on Tuesday. Mr. Hughes has known Mr. Joseph for years and could not have been rais-taken rais-taken in his Identification of the man. His description of the clothes worn by Mr. Joseph tallies in every detail with that given of tin- clothes he wore the last time he was seen by bis fam-llv fam-llv and others, which makes his Iden-tlfication Iden-tlfication positive. Depot Master Hughes said that Mr. Joseph carried a suit case and a light gray overcoat. The depot master stepped forward to sical; to the stock broker and the latter apparently avoid-cd avoid-cd him, turning abruptly about and walking the other way. A few min-utes min-utes later Mr. Hughes saw Joseph walk through the door of the railway station to the railway yards. There he saw him stand apparently waiting for a train. Since learning of the disappearance of Mr. Joseph, Mr. Hughes has tried to recall all of the circumstances under vhlch he last saw the missing broker, but has been unablo to satisfy him-Hj him-Hj self .as to which day it was, though he 1 believes it was about noon, and prob- ably on Tuesday. The depot master takes luncheon at 1:30 o'clock In the afternoon, and rather thinks It was be-Cor be-Cor lunch lime. Hj Two trains left the Rio Grande sta- tlon at about the time Mr. Hughes saw the broker at the station. One of these waB tho Western Pacific train for San Francisco, which left at 12 :45 j o'clock, and the other was the local 1 -Denver & Rio Grande train for Og- den, which left at 12:50 o'clock. The HHH next trains for the cast over the Rio Grande left at 2:35 and 4.35 o'cl-ck In the afternoon. If Mr. Hughes is right as to the time of day when he saw Mr. Joseph .then It is probable that he saw him on Tuesday, as Mr. Joseph's movemonts from the time he got the $54,000, about 11:30 o'clock Monday rorenoon at the office of Badger Brothers, until 3 o'clock that afternoon, have been pretty -well followed. After leaving the brokerage office ho went to his own office in tho Judge building. There MiaB Ruby Gulvor, his stenographer last saw him about noon. He told her he was going to catch a 2 o'clock train for Ordon. At 1:30 o'clock that afternoon Joseph H. Grut, a teller at the Continental Na-tlonal Na-tlonal bank, saw him eating lunch at 1 the Grill cafe In East Broadway. j The next tlme he was seen in Salt Lake, so far as reported, was at the clothing store of Gardner & Adams about 3 o'clock. Frank L. Gardner -was returning from the bank, -where lie had been just before 3 o'clock, and saw Mr. Joseph in thc store. He stopped and chatted with him a mo-inent, mo-inent, Joseph remarking on thc IH strength of the money bag which Mr. K Gardner carried. Mr. Joseph was purchasing some shirts. The clerk ft who was attending to the wants of the broker said ho noticed that Mr. Jo- Hk ; soph appeared to bo very nervous and A' dn a hurry. It Is considered possible that Mr. Jo-seph Jo-seph may have remained In Salt Lake i all night and left from the Rio Grando station tho following afternoon. It also Is possible that Mr. Joseph may have gone to the Rio Grande station 'shortly after noon on Monday intend-Jng intend-Jng to catch a train out of the city, but, changing bis mind, returned to the business section. Superintendent James F. McParland of the Pinkerton National Detective .agency has taken personal charge of the Investigation of tho mysterious -disappearance of the broker and the $54,000. Pinkerton detectives of ev-ery ev-ery section of the United States are .looking for the fugitive, but as- yet have obtained no clew that they believe be-lieve is likely to lead to his Immediate capture. Detectives at SL Louis yesterday took under surveillance a man who af rived there that morning from the west who in a general way answered the description of the missing man He had purchased a ticket from Og-den Og-den to St Ixniis. However, he satisfied satis-fied the officers that he was not tho man. oo SALT LAKE AGAINST OGDEN MONDAY NIGHT Salt Lake, March 20. The patrons of the Manhattan Athletic club have been treated to some of the best four-round four-round bouts that have ever been aeen anywhere during the last few months at thc Garrick theatre in the regular weekly boxing shows, and after aft-er each show the fans almost Invariably In-variably declare it to be the best of them all. In his effort to keep the reputation up to standard, Manager Downiur: has arranned a card for next Downing nas arranged a card ror next Monday night that promises to surpass sur-pass anything that he has ever staged in the way of short-round bouts. A big double bill will, be the offering. offer-ing. Besides the meeting of five of the best boxers from Ogden with a like number of the local boys for the inter-city championship, there will be a big headliner bout between Ned Young and Charles Midkiff of this city. This bout will undoubtedly be the greatest short-round go the local fans have witnessed, as both of the boys are sensational battlers and never nev-er stop going from the time tho first gong rings. Thus far Young has proved himself the greatest short-rounder short-rounder thc city ever produced. With one exception, he has stopped every man he has mot Inside of tho allotted al-lotted four rounds, while Midkiff performed per-formed a roraarkable feat last Monday Mon-day night when he made "Y'oung" Papkc quit at the end of the third round by simply tearing Into him so fast and hard that he couldn't stand up under the fire. Young is the hardest hard-est hitter who has been seen inside of a ring in this city In many a day and has considerable cleverness, while Midkiff is of the battling type that can take any amount of punishment punish-ment and the harder they carry the fight to him the faster he comes back. However, this Is not the only interesting inter-esting bout on tho bill, as it will be Ogden against Salt Lake In all of the other matches, and as the Junction city boys have been so successful In the last few matches they have had here that they are banking on making mak-ing a clean sweep this time. Manager Downing has fortified himself him-self against a catastrophe to the Manhattans Man-hattans and has lined up .some of the best boys In the city, not only from tho Manhattan club, but also from the Harman club and the West Side Athletic club. Joe Pelcher, the hard-hitting featherweight feath-erweight from Ogden, who stopped "Kid" Eph on hie first visit hero and who went four fast rounds to a draw with "Battling" Travis the second time, will be given a return match with Travis. |
