From the Utah correspondence of the N. Y.
Herald we extract the following
Every day adds to the interest Of the squabble
between Judge Eckels, the Probate Courts and the
lawleas banditt now prowlng at liberty in this
You at some length the proceedings of the Probate
Court Of this county In the prosecution Of thieves
and daring scoundres, and their subsequent release
from the Penitentiary on the writs Of hdbeas cor
pttS emanating from Judge EckeIs. Since the re-.
lease Of the criminals they have apparently made
IL their chief business to parade themselves in the
most provoking manner in the public streets, enter
ing the stores Of the jurors for thing and for
another that they never could find there, for no
other purpose than saying g Here we are, now
help yourselves II you CAM Though men of five
and-twenty summers and more, I have seen d
crowd OF them throw oil their overcoats to play at
bat and hall on the public street, with no aler
design, tnat could see, than to exhibit two navy
revolyers and a bowie knife dangling over buck
skin unmentionables Very interesting exhibition
Nothing daunted by the threats and intimida-
lions on the part of the released, the Probate
Court continues its course. It has done good
deal OF business during the present week. Indict-
ments have been found against half a dozen others
Of the Same gang az those released, for the same
character of crimes horse and cattle stealing.
On Tuesday evening weIvery nigh had bloody
atiair over the apprehension of one Manhard. EN-
boldened by the previous weeks proceedings,
Mainland and two OF his associates rode up to the
courthouse, during the sitting of the Court, and
finding there the Sheriff, the principal object Of
their hatred, unblushingly extended to him the
hand OF salutation "a very general custom in the
West, more particularly among a. people sur.
rounded BY Indians, to whom the hand must be
extended at first greeting sign of good feeling
and fellowship. Sheriff Burton took the hand OF
Manhard, and after the usual Indian salutation--
= How? How Uniformed him that he was his
prisoner. In o moment the mule danced under
the biting of the spurs; but the sheriff was not to
be either mampled or thrown. He firmly CON
tinned his hold Of the one hand, and with dex-
ferrous leap threw the other around the neck Of
MIannaId, ana there mule, criminal and sheriff
was an Interesting sight The associates Of the
apprehended Immediately drew their revolvers
and called upon the sheriff to release their COM
rade. The dancing Of the mule and the struggle
of the men made ii impossible for them to fire With
safety. The noise and bawling reaching the In
side Of the court, the officers Instantly rushed out
70 the rescue Of the sheriff rifles were out and
esudpe and lives to ''cheap percussions.'' The
sheriff kept his man; the others escaped For the
latter the officers have Writs for threatening the
life Of the sheriff in the discharge Of his duty and
Ind them when they may, they viii assuredly be

portion Of his band were out on the range over
Jordan openly lariettng the horses OF their choice

the gang, who found some pretext for addressing
him and insulting him with the most abusive and
filthy language he could utter.
