II" was also anxious to make arrangements arrange-ments for returning tbe money to hi;? ictlms wUh a iew of being released as soon a restitution hac" been made. The gun which the young man secured se-cured from the highwayman was ex-l'jbiled ex-l'jbiled at the poice stMlon and proved to be about the poorest excuse ex-cuse for a dendly weapon that ha; turned up in Ogden lor inaitv a day. j It is a small SS-callber single action and so rusted that It could not only be loaded, but would baffle the most expert gun man to discharge it.
