It is supposed that two men did the work but just how much booty they got is not known and particulars will be late. The engineer who left the train, ran ahead to Uintah and telegraphed in the bare facts. He believes, however, from the conversation of the men as they went through the train, that they intended to blow up the express car with dynamite. A train was made up at Ogden and dispatched to the scène of the robbery and orders were given to organize a posse and run the robbers down. Bad Man at Large.
