Show HOLDUPS PUZZLE THE DETECTIVES j . Three Railroad Men, Arrested as Suspects, Are Released After Proving- Their Innocence Officers Are Left Without a Clue Strange Withdrawal of Posses From the Field. I stantiatcs the statement of Hathen-bruck, Hathen-bruck, that there were only two men. Plnkerton detectives, special ofllcers of the railroad companies, home officers offi-cers and detectives are at their wits end to solve the mystery of the robbery. rob-bery. I That there were but two men connected con-nected with the robbery has tended to explode the theory of the rubher-lired rubher-lired rig. and the failure of the train crew to Identify any of the men arrested ar-rested as suspects has placed tho officers of-ficers in a state of bewilderment. Drake-man Halhenbruck states that the two men who robbed the train started toward Ogden afoot on the railroad track, after the train had been released, and young W heeler of Slatervflle says there 'were only two men In the buggy ho &aw driving from the sceDo of the robbery and that at that time the holdup was being perpetrated per-petrated He says it was at 1.30 p. m., and his mother confirms his statement state-ment as to the time. Hence it would seem quite Impossible for the men who robbed the train to be the ones that droMj west in a tubber-tlred buggy bug-gy Stone, the man driving the sprinkling sprink-ling wagon, sajs there were three men In the buggy when he saw them driving driv-ing down Second street toward the point of tho holdup. But the fact still remains that the rig was traced to the very borders of Great Salt Lake and, in a circuitous route. Turned back toward the settlements, settle-ments, and that the rig has noi been seen nor heard of since it made tho turn toward Slatervllle. If the rlt-bers rlt-bers were uot driving the rig, the officers of-ficers are wondering why those who were driving it do not appear and clear up the rubber-tired rig mystery. The officers are not giving out much Information. It may Im? that they do not care to do so at this time, and It may be that they have nothing new to give, fir may be that what they are giving are misleading statements, hence the apparent muddle of things. The officers investigating Hie holdup hold-up of an Oregon Short Line train Sunday niuht apparently are on the dark side as far as the real culprits themselves are concerned, as there ccins to be no trace of evidence which would connect any of those already al-ready under suspicion or those whom lir-. police have gathered in from the i surrounding country, and as to the three nit-n who were rpportd to be under arrest nt Hrigham CItq, Sheriff Joypphson of that place states that he (Iocs not know anything of a suspicions suspic-ions nature against them. William I. W illsje. who Is the superintendent super-intendent ot the Pinkerton agency at Salt Lake, has charge of tha hunt for 'he holdups, and, while he refuses to give out anything for publication, iv is thought thai he has some important import-ant cli.es which he is running down. The fau that there are no posses in the field today Is interpreted as meaning that either the ofiicers are purposely relaxing their efforts in 'his direction so j-s to draw the men out of hiding, if they are In t.he jungle, or that ihe have assurances that the men are In the immediate vicinity of Ogden. Hut so far as the real work on ibe ca.oe is coi.terned, 1 t li the railroad tflkeis and the city police and de-lcctivs de-lcctivs are working overtime Officers Mohlman and Crompton arrested ar-rested three nun yesterday, all of whom wvie lailroad men and who gave their v.anu s a. W. .1 Garvin, 135 Poplar avenue, A F. Knowl and D. K. Dale. There men were spending a lot of money yesterday in the red-light red-light district and their spending freely free-ly caused suspicion lo rest upon them, fo the officers brought Garvin and Knowl in to the station and upon starting a hunt fur Dale had a little cxcileiii tit. It appears that Dale went flcwii lie step leading tc ihe New P;ccs Chining company, orid asked Sam Miller, who Is tho proprietor, how snoii he could press a suit for him and uion being told, he changed his mind and asked Miller if he could get out of hib place by the back door as snt'ie gamblers up on the street who were trying to get his money Miller pointed the way and in this way Dale eluded the officers who were following fol-lowing him. When Miller came out of his place "I business, the oflicer asked him as to the fellow why went down In his place a short time before, whereupon Miller toid him that he had gone out j the lock way Miller accompanied the policeman around the different streets mi an endeavor to again locale lo-cale Dale. " J Miller was told thai if he saw the j fellow to phone to the station, but a 1 short time alter he left the policeman he again espied Dale aud followed j hi in lo the Central rooming house j and Informed the police station, and I Mohlman and Crompton were went over. Dale did ii"t resist in any way but accompanied the officers. It later developed that these men could give a good account of themselves them-selves and that nothing could be proved against iheai In any way. other than that they were spending money freely, ;md they were ordered released. Not the Men. When Garvin, Knowl and Dale, the three men whn were being held In connection with the hold-up, were brought before TJ.'i gngemau J.
