Collect Their Rooty mid Disappear in the Darkness While I'osses Rush to the Scene. (By Leased Wire, to The Times.) Ogden, Utah, Jan. ;! Posses ear ned by special train and automobiles are hunting today for two bandits who held up Overland Limited tiiin No. 1 on the Southern Pacific at 11:50 o'clock last night nine miles from this city, shot the porter and looted the passengers of a large amount of moirey and jewelry The bandits, who were masked and heavily armed, signalled the train near Reese Station with a lighted fuse. One man climbed Into the cab and pusned a revolver into the face of the engineer. Both the engineer and fireman were ordered from the tab 'and obeyed. " The trainmen were ordered to the rear of the train, while the bandits entered tae sleeping cars. As they were clambering upon the vestibule steps two porters appeared. 'You men keep off this train cried" one of the porters. ' The men paid no attention to this command but climbed to the plat form. The porters, who could not see distinctly in the darkness, tried to push the men down the steps The robbers fired several shots and both porters fell The passengers, aroused from tneir sleep by the fusillade of shots, crowd ed forward. The bandits ordered them back. Women screamed and became hys terlcal and men were cowed bv the menacing guns in the hands of the men. One bandit, with a huge re volver in each hand, stood at the end of a car while the other went through the passengers, dumping jewelry and money Into a gunny sack Shortly after midnight Conductor Cunningham made his escape and rah all tae way to the nearest station. wuere word was flashed to Ogden that the Overland, the most, celebrat ed train on the Union Pacific, had been held up. The bandits, after collecting their booty, warned the train crew not to follow them and disappeared into the darkness. A half an hour after the holdup two daughters of James ayment, ot Warren, nearby, were held up by two men who are Biispected of being the two robbers who held up the Over land Limited. The girls were so frightened and the nignt was so dart that the young women could 1101 give a definite description of the men However, they declared that one was short and the other tall. Passen gers on the train declared that this description of the men tally with those that held up the Overland. One male passenger who offered re sistance when the bandits were searching the train was so badly beaten over the head with the butt end of a heavy calibre revolver that he is in a serious condition. The authorities believe that the men had a vehicle drawn by two fleet horses in 'waiting nearby. ; From clues picked up d'uring the early morning it was surmised that the men flew towards Hot Springs, Utah, and one section ,of the posse trailed them In that direction. A special train carrying twenty five men heavily armed was rushed from Ogden at 2 o'clock this morning.- Three other posses went to the scene of the hold-up from Hot Springs In automobiles. It Is not yet definitely known just how much the robbers secured, but It Is believed they got between f 10, 000 and f 15,000 In cash, and jewelry. M w K. M. KOOXCK.

With a smile on 'his Hps" Samuel Austin, a former-soldier-in the United, Staleis armv, paid. the penalty tor wire mur der with his life in the electric chair at Sing Sing today. Austin is said to be the coolest man that was ever electrocuted in Sing Sing. He was convicted for the murder of his wife J rone, at White Plains, last year. There was no hesitancy on Austin s part as he 'walked into the death room. His bearing was erect and military, and as he took his seat in the chair of death he smiled broadly Owing to the peculiar shape ot Aus tins head the electric cap did not fit snugly, and when the current was turned on the sickening odor of burning hair filled the room and tongue of flame played about the doomed man s head, but he made no ouicrv. Two shocks were adminis tered. The execution took place at fi a. in. Kaitliqiiako Shock. (Jiv Leased Wire to The limes) New York. Jan. ;!

All dav Ion today it has been a hub-bub and shaking of political hands, button holing,, whispering, at the Y'arbor ough House, the long recognized meeting place of candidates and lob byists. 1 1 he hotel lobby is crowded Nearly every representative or sena tor approached is turtlierliig the cause of his candidate.. The wood are run or names ot men "who are in the hands ot their friends"' to use the politicians absolute phrase. All tiiiKis ot candidates and measures are being discussed. The main topn however, being discussed hy the manv groups, of. men is the speakershli light. W ill Dowd win? Will Battle win? or who will be our next, spc ker. The tremendous democratic majority, ot course, assures the dem ocratic noiuinee at tonight's caucus of election. 'I lie nomination tor speaker at the hands ot the republt can party only means lie will be door leader -of the -minority. The principal speakership tight, up to this afternoon, has settled down between W. C. Dowd, Charlotte: Ft A. Doughlon, Sparta: R. It. Battle Raleigh, and K. M. Koonce, Jackson ville. Rumors have been floating around all dav regarding the fight Mn Zeb. V. -Turlington has with drawn from the race. Mr. Dough- ton, who is one ot the state s ablest men, is not an avowed candidate. Hi will accept the honor ii given to him. but he does not desire it enough to make a great fight for it. Alter mingling through the Yarboroiigh lobliv and talking with various mem beis of the house, It was learned from several members that the name of Hon. Richard H. Battle, of Ral eigh would not be presented. This is not authoritative, but onlv Hie opin ion of several representatives, 'that would leave the field wide open to Dowd and Koonce, and it is treeelv predicted that only one ballot will be taken. Every representative, prac tically, has an idea of his own re garding the fight. One went so far as to say tnat tonight When the time comes to nominate, only the name of W. C. Dowd will be presented. It is now, at 4:00 o'clock, practically a foregone conclusion that Mr. Dowd will be the next speaker of the house of representatives. Mr. Dowd would make an ideal presiding 'officer, no one denies, but on the other hand no one can foretell which way a politi cal wind is going to blow. By night It may change entirely around, and dark horse brought out. While! it is not being talked, for it is not. now expected, one may be brought. Mr. Dowd's friends are active and not losing one moment's time to further the candidacy of their man. The deals that were being rumored this morning to defeat Mr. Dow( seem to nave dwindled away, and r. ... ' .It v1-- . ' M '.-a --is 4 ' 1 ; - A ilJs . , v.. c.
