Monday, and were captured early Tuesday at Rock Springs, Wyo. They are now in the state penitentiary at Rawlins, Wyo., according to t report to Union Pacific headquarters. The two were identified as Rus sell Howarth. 18, and George II. Bachman , 18, soldiers from Fort Francis E. Warren at Cheyenne. In Wyoming train robbery is a crime punishable by death. The candits boarded the train at Cheyenne, in civilian clothes, and bought tickets and upper berths to Green River. Crossing the Rockies, they held up Mrs. M. A. Johnson, about 60; Mrs. Joseph E. Huber, about 0, and her son, H. P. Huber, 30, all of St. Paul Minn, taking $tii and a watch. They bound all three with ropes, and gaged them, pa-sting adhesive tape over their mouths. The arrest of the holdup men was effected because someone left a safety razor on a rack in the Ruber's draw ing room. Huber was trussed to the track, his fingers free. He wisted his band until he could grasp the razor, which he used to sever the bonds the rob bers used to tie him up. He immed iately pressed the buzzer and noti fied Porter A. Petty of the robbery. Petty notified Conductor John Wascher. Wascher telegraphed ahead that the train had been robbed and the bandits were believed to still be on the train. At Rock Springs. Sheriff Hans Jes sen and Union Pacific special agents formed a posse and went through the train when It made a stop at a coal chute. The two identified as the bandits were found in their berths, fully clad. They thought their victims were securely tied and were waiting an opportunity to leave the train. One of them carried a .39-caliber automatic. According to the report to Union Pacific headquarters, one of the wom en had been chloroformed. She was revived quickly. A similar robbery was a feature in a "true detective story" radio hour recently on a national broad cast. The youths at first said they were John Bradley and Robert Hamilton of St. Louis, but later admitted their identity. They were taken first to a jail at Green River and then to the Rawlins prison for safe keeping. The holdup was discovered about Sunday, May 24th 9:30 a. m. Sunday school. 10:30 a. m.

Omaha time. Tuesday. The holdup occurred in the terri tory menaced by "Rig Bill Carlisle, train robber, now serving a teim in The Rurlington railroad company, the Union Pacific, and also the Mis souri Pacific railroad companies have. voluntarily asked for a reduction of freight rates on gravel ami Band amounting to from 25 to 40 percent, to meet competition of trucks which are hauling these commodities. Their applications are on file with the rail way commission. The Northwestern railroad company officials report that they have approved a similar filing which is being prepared. Railroad officials allege the reduc tion will amount to $200,000 on the present state road building program and local building operations at sta tions from now on until Dec. 31, to which date the applications extend. At the last two lettings of road contracts by the state the railroad officials say the railroads obtained not more than 25 percent of the gra vel haul. They say their proposed reduction will amount to $14,000 on gravel for seven miles of paving near IfcCook, for which a road contract is to be let by the state May 29. The gravel can be shipped by rail from south of Kearney. The present scale of railroad rates is a minimum charge of seventy cents a ton for the first fifty miles and an increase of ten cents for each ten miles in additon. The Burlington railroad's applica tion for leave to reduce rates covers 100 stations in Nebraska. The Northwestern road is to apply for leave for a reduction at 100 stations. The Missouri Pacific application cov ers eight stations. The proposed re duced rates are to apply from the nearest shipping point to destination. There are no gravel pita near Lin coln, but the Rurlington's applica tion calls for a reduction at the sta tion of Waverly. near Lincoln, be cause the truck haul from gravel pits on the Platte river to Waverly is now less than the freight charge to Waverly.
