The theory that the hold-up wss done
hy the ssme men who robbed the registered
mall on the Northern Fecll'ic a few days
go. U not given much attention by the
police.
Here ! the thief Use.
What they regard the beat clue yet
found came from a man named Favell,
who Uvea at Ralston and works for the
Howard Stove company there. He
says that while returning home from South
Omaha a'bout midnight Saturday with sev
eral companions. wagon with fair men
in It was seen going outh about a mile
south of the cut where the train waa held
up. At the time, ravel! aaya. tt oceurrcd
to him and hla frlendr that the quartet
In the wagon acted suspiciously and seemed
to be In a big hurry. Detectives worked
on the clue Sunday afternoon,
Thrse men are reported by Sheriff Bau
man of Fremont aa having 'ran out of a
saloon near the t'nlon Pacific tracks at
that town and la have, boarded the Over
land Limited Just as It pulled out. Fremont
waa the last atop made by the train until
Engineer Meiklejohn waa ordered by two
of the bandlta to slow down. Signs of a
fire of newspapers waa found Sunday
morning on the top of the west end Of the
cut In which the robbery occurred. From
theae facta, it la assumed by the police
that the three men who boarded the train
at Fremont belonging to trie holdup gang,
while the fourth man wa stationed at the
top of the cut to light the fir aa a signal
to Indicate where, the train waa to be stop
ped. The police are firmly convinced that the
fire waa for signaling rnirpoaea, for the
ashes aeemed fresh when they were found
Sunday.
The man who handled the fire at the
cut la supposed to have cared for the auto
mobile or other vfhtale In which the out
lawa made their escape.
Baaman Describee Men.
According to Sheriff Bnunran of Fremont,
following are the descriptions of the trio
who got on the train- aa It pulled out of j
Fremont.
No. 1 Heavy aet, red, amooth face; ISO
pounds, 6 feet, eight Inchoa In height; 40
years of age, dark ault, soft, black hat.
No. J Smooth face, 115 pounds, 5 feet, 10
Inches In height; 3 years of ago, light ault,
sort green hat.
No, t Smooth face, 5 feet S lnchea In
height, -26 yware of age, dark ault with
green thread In pattern, soft, blue shirt;
red tie, black hat.
These descriptions tally with those given
by the crew of the train after the affair,
so far aa age la concerned.
In the minds of the police, the robbery
was a cleverly planned and well executed
piece of work. They realise the wladom,
from the standpoint of the crooks, of com
mitting the holdup at the time and place
chosen. In the dead of night, and near
enough to Omaha to give the bandits a
chance to divide the plunder and lose them
selves In -the large city before the police
reached the aaene, - , ... ...
The choice of the Overland Limited, one
of the finest trains on the Union Pacific,
and carrying valuable mall from the Pa
cific coast and the Orient, was evidently
made knowingly, while the .selection of
the big, sixty-foot cut waa also expedient
for robbing the train without attracting the
attention of the people In the neighborhood.
Oat Train Before Stopped.
It la supposed, by the detectives working
on the case, that two or three men were
on the train before It stopped at their
order, while at least one other wa sta
tioned In the cut to handle that end of
the undertaking.
After the m!l clerks had carried the
registered sacks to a point about if yards
ahead of the locomotive, had left them at
the commands of the bandits and had I
turned back toward the train with the
warning not to return, It Is supposed that
the robbers climbed up the steep pat aty'
ins norm siae or me cut, taxing me man
sacks with them and were Joined at the
top by the outlaw who had covered the
engineer with his gun, while the sacks were
being carried ahead. -

top of another was found on Forty-aecond
street about where the lnion Pacific
crosses the sweet, by Captain . Moyaten
and party. The trps had been rut off the
pouches abrXit six Inches below the locka.
The larger pouch waa one of the "pouches
made up thla side of Cheyenne. Inside
this pouch waa found a mall package of
merchandise, destined fof New York, near
tt, a gressy, canvass gauntlet glove and a
bundle rf greasy waste. Thla finding of
this flove leada to the probability that it
might have been used about an automo
bile, as the glove Is comparatively new,
though blackened with grime and grease.
The top of the other sack was the Reno,
Nevada, pouch. Only the lop of thla sack
waa found. It had been cut off. leaving
the whole top and the leather belt passing
thmugh the Iron loops and locked with
the regulation registered mall lock.
Chief Clerk F. S. Keller of the railway
mall service, Omaha division, said Sunday
morning: "It Is Impossible to know the
value of the content of the registered
mall pouches at thia time, aa the contents
are only known at th point of origin or
original sealing rf the pouches, and at the
destination. While a record la kept of
the pouches and they are receipted for, the
receipt given by the mall Clerks In whoao
charge they come successively, are simply
for the pouch and lock number. The only
way in which the contents of the regis
tered packages wiu ever become known
will be when the reapectlve packages are
checked from the conalgnor and consignee.
Thla will require several daya' time. None
of the railway mail clerks were armed. Ii
fact the government haa never required
the mall clerke to be armed, and hence the
men were absolutely helpless In the holdup.
All of them would have finished their run
and arrived In Omaha and Council Bluff
within a few minutes after the holdup."
United States Marshal Warner said:
"The flrat Intimation I had of the robbery
waa In the morning papers and waa no
tified shortly afterward by Inspector
Thompson. I came clown town at once and.
of course, tendered the services of the
marshal's department to the Postofflce de
partment, and we shall do everything in
our power to asa'st In running down the
robbers."
A ator..y was current Sunday forenoon
that two -or three men driving In two
bugglea were seen passing through Flor
ence about 2 o'clock Sunday morning.
Both bugglea were apparently loaded with
something.
The railway mall rlerka In the car at
the time of. the holdup were alt old clerks,
having been from three to twenty-three
years In the railway mall service. They
had finished their work and had changed
their working clothes for their ordinary
suits and were sitting In the ear when the
attack on the car waa made. The clerka
Were: . O. O. Whltmore, clerk In charge;
V. Eastman,
W. C. Ryan, William Seats,
June Corey and Arthur J.
M. C.
Rush,
Nlles.
"The train cams to an emergency halt,"
said Clerk Rush, "and I stepped to 'the
door of the' mall car and looked out to
see If the block signal had given K warn
ing, and-Just then someone down along'
side the track told me to hold up my
hands snd Jump out of there. In the mean
while another man was at the end rof the
car besting on the door, commanding that
It be opened. 'This looks like a holdup,'
I called out, and It was all right.. There
wasn't a man of us armed and all we' had
to do was to obey orders, and theae being
accompanied with pistol ahota we couldn't
do anything else. The men all wore "black
masks and raincoats. It being pretty dark,
we couldn't see very well outside the car.
The registered mall pouches -were, then
dumped out and- we, or at least, some of
tbe boys, .were compelled to carry the
sacks about a quarter of a mile down the
track. One of the men In the holdup
crowd said. This is about all we- ean
carry In the auto,' and from that we sup
posed that they must have had an auto
mobile about, although we did not see any
vehicle of any kind. I did not help carry
the sacks down, but they msde me walk
ahead with my hands up."

"We saw four men with something cov
ered up In their buggy."
This Information came to police offlcera,
newspaper rooms and Cnlon Pacific head-
u""r v"y direction Sunday, and
men on the way to the lakes with a few
large, cold bottles covered up with "gunny
sacks" were under grave suspicion In sev
eral places.
The first story oame from Florence,
where four men were seen riding In a light
wagn with some mysterious looking bundle
covered up In the back of the vehicle.
Chief Donahue would not listen to It.
During the early morning a story reached
I Omaha that four men had driven through
Falls City In an automobile Just at day
light, that attempt was made to stop treni
and they displayed firearms. The sheriff
and deputy sheriff of Richardson, county
and city marsnal of Falls City exploded
the story. ' The people of that ctty had
not heard of the robbery at noon. ;
H. J. Taylor, hvat keeper at Seymour
park saw two men fishing In "the lake at
dusk Saturday evening. Th'Y had an auto
mobile. He went over to talk with them
and they moved on, ualng the automobile
without lighting the lamps. Later they
were seen around the iske with the ma
chine, still unlighted.
But the story of Favell, employe of th
Howard Stove Manufacturing company,
that he saw four men going .south on the
road Just about one mile from the scene
of the robbery ss he was walking from
the end of the Weat Q street car line to
his home In Ralston, looks the best of
any of the reports received by Chief of
Police Donahue. , He says It Is more apt
to be the "dope" on the robbery and that
the men In the light wagon were probably
the robbers, who took a roundabout way
into South Cmaha and are In that ctty at
present or In Its outskirts, and detectives
are going over the livery stables and other
places where teams are kept which might
be used for a night ride.
Long distance telephone calls to neigh
boring towns, telegraphic communlcatlona
by the railroads to every atatlon which
could be reached, -have (ailed to bring In
any trace of the "robbers. With Douglas,
Sarpy, Wsshlngton snd Dodge counties
net work of telephone lines, the theory
that the robbers esosped across country,
does not look ss gool ss the Idea that
they returned to Omaha or South Omaha
with their sacks of registered mall, and in
these cities the r-olice are making the vigi
lant effort of their lives to trace the rob
bers of he Overland limited.
It is msde worth their while by the
IX.ftO offered by the I'nlon Pacific, which
meana SS.00 for each bandit dead or alive.
It is understood the. federal government
will also pay 11.000 for each of the robbers.
Every effort Is being msde by the South
Omaha police department to sld In tracing
the robbers. Detective P. H. Shields of
the South Omaha department went ta the
scene of the robbery with Omaha detec
tives and railroad officers and continued
K search of every road, hollow and gully
until a late hour last night.
"Not a trace of anything," was the re
port he made. "Did not find thread and
the- descriptions are so meager that it will
be hard work unless we happen to stumble
nto something. If we hd ny descriptions
mtsht be able to do business, a tbe
robbers are undoubtedly not great ways
from Omaha or South Omaha.
"We are going over the livery herns
and rise of teamsters about South Omaha
very closely, but nothing has appeared as
yet."
All day Sunday a stream of people going
and coming to and from the scene of the
robbery, searched m-re than square mile
of the country about the obscure location
of the hold-up aa they came from every
direction.
The car line to Ralston opened Sunday.
People roade out on It and walked over
from Weat ,Q strct. Some went to South
Omaha and took the Vnlon Pacific tracks,
while others drove their carriages or ran
their automobiles rut the Center street
rosd, south on Forty-second street, to tho
bridge over the tracks arid walked down to
the scene of the rebbery.
Everything which looked like a clue was
grabbed as eagerly by people ss by the
police. It being the first opportunity of
hundreds to even get near the scene of so
daring robbery as that of the Overland
Limited, held up within tho city limits of
Omaha.

LARGER PCHCHAsES IN STEEL
Orders Are Small, bet Are Reported
finite ameroaa. s '
NEW YORK, May .-The steady in
crease in operations is reflected in the
larger buying of steel. Irons and steel
mrap aa well aa In the larger output, of
the coke ovena and the heavier shipment
of fuel In blast furnaces. Contracta calling
for about 40,000 tone of heavy steel' have
been placed by eastern Pennsylvania steel
works during the Inst week.
Fewer large contracta for foundry Iron
have been developed, but numerous small
ordrs aggregate upwards of 40,000 tons have
been placed In the territory east of the Al
legheny mountains snd the tone of the
market Is slightly firmer although higher
prices have been realised only on smalt
lots.
Inteerest In finished steel products hss
continued to be centered mainly In wire,
nails and fabricated steel. Contracts for
wire products have been record-breaking
during May',, the American Steel and Wire
taking contracts for 260,000 tons during
the first two weeks, and one single day
reached 36,000 tons. Since the advance of
$3 per ton, efectlve last Monday, contracts
have been leas excessive, but still abnorm
ally heavy. Another advance Is anticipated
about the first of the month. A host of
small contracts for fabricated steel for
building and bridges has come out, result
ing In adding about 60,000 tons to the or
ders for May. and the prospect is that 46,
000 tona additional will be placed this week.
Tenders have been made on 130,000 tons by
the three divisions of the American Bridge
company, but only half of this is expected
to develop Into actual business.
More orders for cars, locomotives, lake
and coaatwlae vessels are developing, which
will call for a large tonnage of plates snd
shapes, about (W.OOO tons In the near1 fu
ture. The Oould lines have ordered 100
locomotives and the Chicago Northwest
ern twenty from the American Locomotive
company. Ralls are still lagging, but ad
ditional contracts for IS.000 tons have been
placed and J.noo tone are pending.

Market for Cotton Goods Stronar,
Blenched Hheetlnara Steady.
NEW YORK. May 23. The cotton goods
market closed much stronger thsi It
opened a week ago. There is no longer
any question concerning the maintenance
of prices on bleached sheetings and other
fahrlcs that might nve been affected by
the revision In printed goods announced
two weeks ago. Drills and sheetings ars
held firm, and while the trading has been
moderate, it has heen due more to the
unwillingness of mills to contract ahead
at the present low prices than to a lack of
Interest on the part of buyers If they
could all to their purchases on a level of
ti cents for three-yard sheetings or 6Ki
cents for four-yard. Sales of print claths
and convertibles were In excess of the
production at Fall River, and some long
contracts rn these goods were entered Into
by southern mills on a basis of &S cents
for 39-lnrh tW-7!s. The Jobbing house spot
trsde has beer, quiet, but the advance
business In cotton has been large. Recent
developmenta In raw cotton havs madu all
advance orders seem more secure than for
many seasons past, and the confidence ex
pressed in the fall trade Is widespread.
Cotton yarns went higher during the week
on very modurate trading. Buyers are not
willing 1o pay the, high prices mills are
asking, but it Is thought as general trade
broadens the deadlock will be broken. In
terest In the salea of printed goods haa
been large since the shary revision, snd
It Is now known that a good business '

Pltekes Heady and Steady Ball nnd
Contributes Tkree lilts to Omaha's
wettest Great Crowd Sees
tke Game.
Omsha, T; Denver, 1.
Four straight from Denver.
Pueblo Is the next victim.
Ford, the new right-hander of the Den
ver team, wss no more puxile fof the
hard-hitting Rourkes than the three pitch
ers who worked before him In the present
series and the twelve hits made by Omaha
netted seven runs before a crowd of 8.500.
It should be stated In pxsslng that this
said crowd had palpitation of the heart
for about four Innings. Mr. Welsh, of fore
caster fame, had predicted rain snd In the
second Inning he came along with his Juice.
It began to sprinkle and It kept on In a
half mennnclng way for three Innings,
so you may well Imagine that when Denver
loped out to the field after Ita half of the
fifth, wlththe acore still In Omaha's favor,
some heavy hearts became light.
It begins to look aa though the tribe of
Rourke had settled down to business, the
pitchers are working well and another er
rorless game was" played In spite of the
ground rules, which were necessary. The
crowd overflowed from the stands Into
the outfield and along the side lines.
While the top of the batting list of the
Rourkes did not hit the ball the lower
end came to the rescue and hit ' hard,
Franck and Lower making three each and
Welch and Helden two each.
Ford Little Shnky.
Ford waa a little shaky at the start and,
although he struck out Fisher, the first
man up, he walked King and then subdued
Kane on a grounder to second. Then he
made a mistake, perhaps. He purposely
passed Welch, with the Skipper on deck and
Relden In the hole. The Skipper forced a
pass and BUI Belden hit a nice double to
left on which King and Welch scored.
For three Innings Omaha did not score
again, although In the second Ijower's hit
and two bases on balls filled the sacks.
In the fifth Welch opened with a single
and Bill Bchipke walked for the second
time. Belden hit to Ford, who caught Bel
den at first Instead of trying to nail Welch
at third, as he had plenty of time to do.
Buck Franck made a second single and
scored Welch and Schlpke. Oondlng singled
and Captain Buck scooted to third on the
hit and scored when Zlnran threw high to
catch Oondlng. who-waa lighting out fur
second.
Three more hits In the seventh inning
scored two more runs. Belden opened the
Inning with a single and Franck hit hard
to left, but could only take two bases be
cause of the ground rules. Oondlng s sacri
fice fly to Belden scored Bill Belden and
advanced Franck a base. Lower made his
third single and scored the captain.
How Denver Scored.
Denver made Its only run In tbe third
after two were down. Cassady doubled out
of Fisher's reach and scored on Jones'
single to left. Ira Belden hit for a single
but was caught trying to go to second
with Jones on third. King, Kane and
Franck ran him down, holding Jones on
the line to the home plate.
After the third Inning Lower settled down
snd would not sllow more than one hit to
a Qrisily per Innlpg. -
It was a sad pill foaeJunthorpe to swal
low to see the Teddy. Bears Ids four
straight to Omaha, when hey came to the
Gate City In first place, but It had to be
done. The Rourke family had grown weary
of occupying the laat rung on the ladder
and had to make a climb to satisfy the
fans who have not been educated up to
rooting for a tail-end team.
Pueblo comes today for four games and
tody Is ladies' day.

.Notes of the fiame.
Four straight .la pretty sweet.
Three hits apiece for Franck and Lower.
Whitl a clash there will be when Omaha
and Sliux Ctty meet. ;
Slugger Bill did not hbve many chances,
but he took all that cams Ills way.
When the top of the Omaha batting order
fell down on hits the rest of -the sjunrh
was on hand with the gooda.
Brother Dave kicked because he only
sold a couple of barrels of lemo. It wants
the ht weather to c me all at once.
Lower, Keeley, Sanders! Johns, Hollen
bfck and Swalm all in good conriltlun and
on the run for the top of the ladriur.
The Denver team iloea not fight like real1
pennant winners. They, seemed to take It
for granted that they were going to be
beaten.
Captain Franck showed real speed when
he scooted from first tJ third on Gondlng's
single. It wss a reminder of the old days
or James Austin.
The only playing tulscue of the game
waa when Zinraa threw too high to second
In an effort to catch Oomllng. Gonding
la too fleet-footed for an ordinary catcher
to catch, anyhow.
When Schlpke 'stepped to the plate for
the first time In the game he waa pre
sented with a long, slender bog. Bill wasn't
afraid to take a chance; he grabbed his
rap off bf re he got a look-in. but they
wera there all right and big ones, too. It
was a handsome bouquet and Red Fish"
lugged it to the bmcli while Hill went
ahead and got a base on balls ss a mark
of appreciation. (

DE8 MOI.'tE S R A L I. IE D AT FINISH
Took Game from Pneblo In the Tentk
by Hard Hitting.
DES MOINE8. May 23. Bv a vicious
rally In the ninth and tonth Innings today,
Des Moines won the game, by the scoreof
t to 4, when it had apparently been lost
by poor fielding. Both Hatch and Mc
Donnell were pitching their first games
this year, and if they had ben accorded
perfect support they would have had a
tight pitchers' battle. There waa great
crowd In attendance, which encroached
upon the field, making ordinary singles
and two bag tiers. The batting end field
ing of Mattlrk was easily the feature of
the game. His two-banger In the ninth
scored the final two runs that tied the
score. In the tenth with s man on second
and third, with one out. a fly waa knocked
to Mattlrk. He made a great throw In
and caught Clark at the plate. Dwyer
was parsed by Miller, who went In In the
tenth, and he threw Hecklnger's bunt Into
the crowd, putting Dwyer on third. Lang
hit safely between short and third, bring
Dwyer home with the winning run. Score:
DES MOINES.
