tain Stone, late of the Confederate army
,ho WAS arrested some time ago, has
baen set at liberty. 1t will be remem
bered that in June last Stone borrowed
from Leonidas Bales, then at the Muddy,
in this county, a wagon, two horses ana
harness, for the purpose OF going to st.
George 20 buy provisions. Instead of
that he went out to Salt Greek (seeming-
IL having forgotten that there was any
such place as st. George. AT Salt Creek
he was overtaken and brought back to
e. George. He was tried before the
Probate Court at that place, and found
enilty of grand larceny. Subsequently
the question of Probate jurisdiction in
Utah came before Judge Boreman, Of the
District Court, who decided that Probate
Cour,s had no jurisdiction in criminal
cases, and SO Stone was discharged, a
writ of habeas corpus having been sued
ont 10 test the validity of his conviction.
Rnt the troubles of Stone do not end
here The wagon and team were fraud
ulently obtained in this county, and our
officials have taken cognizance of the
case. requisition is now in the Sher-
it"s office for the arrest of Stone, who is
now in Utah Territory. OF course, his
conviction by the Probate Court having
been declared void, that proceeding
amounts to nothing.
PooR SERvANTs.--On Wednesday one
of our BUSINESS men received letter
through the L. S. Mail, from Fillmore. a
Mace on the line of the Salt Lake stages,
having every facility for sending the
mails promptly. This letter was mailed
at Fillmore on the 22d of September, and
reached this place on the I'd of October.
A sou of the writer of the letter spoken
of started from Fillmore with wagon
load of produce. the father having, MS he
supposed, warned the merchant here OF
his coming. The young man travelling
with the ordinary speed of such convey
onces as that which he drove, and much
more slowly of course than the stage, ar
rived here two days before the letter.
The delay of the letter occasioned only Il
slight loss-perhaps twenty five or thirty
dollars. However, this is not the first
time that u similar Inconvenience has oc-
cured. 1t happens almost every day.
The people OF the United States have
very poor servants somewhere along the
line. They should be found ont and dis.
charged.
