OGDEN , Utah. Oct. 14. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Ono of the boldest holdups
of a railroad train that has oc
curred In this section of the
west for many ) ears was that of the Union
Pacific's "Past Mall" train eight miles east
of here this morning fhoitl ) before 2 o'clock
Three masked men held up tlie tialn , Intttul
dated the engineer , brought the train to n
standstill and made nwa ) with three pouches
of registered mall , mippose-d to contain con
slderablo money and other valuable mull
matter. The tobbcrs have escaped to the
mountains and n half hundred scouts are
now on tl-eir trail. 'Iho passengers were no'
molested In the least , nnd the majority of
them knew nothing of the affair until nomc
time after It had occurred.
There Is piol'ahl ) not a dicarter place along
the "Overland route" an none- better suited
for such a robbeiy than the scone of this
morning's affair. It U a hilf mile east of
Ulntah , a small station clnht miles east ot
Ogdeo It Is near the Mouth of the great
Weber canon and the entire mirroundliiK
eountrv Is extremely mount-ilnovs The
"Past Mall' Is due * here at 1 ! o'clock , and It
was about 1 30 that the holdup look place
The tialtl was making fut : time and how the
trio of robbers got on board Is a instory.
The train stopped for water at Patterson , a
Jtnill station In thehcuit of We-bcr 0.111)011.
and It thought the bandits boarded the
blind baggage at that point
The first notice tint the tialnmcn had ot
their prcsenco was wl-cn two ot them
crawloit Into the cab from over the tender ,
the third one icmalnliig behind. All were
heavily masked , weio armed to the tcoth
and showed b ) theli ever ) movement that
the ) wcro out for desperate work If It were *
needed to accomplish their object. Thu
largest of-tho three Jumped down alongside
of'tho engineer. Placing his revolver at the
engineer's head , ho said : "When I tell
you to utop , stop rluUt away , or I'll blow
jour brains out , * ' cmphas zluR this threat
with a foul oath The other compelled the
lire in a n to cover Mis head with a cottou
Rack , which had been bronchi along evi
dently for the purpose The engineer re
ceived his orders ns soon as the rohbora
were convinced that It vvas safe to go
ahead with their work Iho train wan
brought to n full stop and the unwelcome
visitors ran back and uncoupled the train
jiisl back of the first mall and express car.
ENGINEER'S HRAVD ACT.
The engineer being left alone started to
run toward Ulntah. a half mile west. Ho
vvas ordered to slop and a few shots wcro
sent after-him. but they all wont wide ot
the mark , and he Kept on Ho rin ns hard
us ho could and covered the dlstanco In
fast time Prom Ulntah he telegraphed
hcio for help and gave the bare facts. Ho
then started back to his tialn Hcforo ho
got back , however , ho met his cnglno com
ing west at full aiecd The conductor ,
surprised at the sudden stop ran ahead to
find out the cauro When ho found the
locomotive unguaided ho Jumped aboard and
threw open the throttle.
In the meanwhile the brakcmcn and the
