Nothing a Head-Twenty-two
witnesses Examined.


that part of the Territory below Sal
Lake, but as judge Hardness remarked
we have yet to hear from Cache Valley
Another feature of the day was tn
FINDING OF MORE SHEEP
that never had the pleasure o: meetin
Mr. Dyer or any of his agents, as the.
live retired life out on the Nevad
line. These will go to help fill the hol
made in the surplus fund by the draft
ing of the 10000 head.
When the examination of the twenty
second witness was concluded, Mr.
Williams remarked that it was Is anC
as it would be impossible to finish al
last evening he suggested an adJourn-
ment until Monday. They still had 1
hundred witnesses TO examine.
Mr.. Critchlow suggested that thay
might save time by bringing in tht
| sheep, but the Referee ordered an ad-
journment until Monday morning a
| 10 o'clock.
THE FIRST WITNESS
called by the petitioners was jane
Hunter, of Mount Pleasant, who testi
| fed as follows: 1 have leased 3S1s
head of Church sheep from Mr.. Pick
ard; leased them on October 18th, anC
received them from Toponce and mar
named Cobb; l give two pounds OF
Mr.. Pickard was down at Mount Pleas
I fall Mr Of
conversation with Mr.. Pickard; be
said he had leased all the sheep he had
to Mr.. Pickard; 1 spoke to him abou;
taking sheep from him personally, in
case he wanted to invest; I did moi
state my terms to him; Mr.. Pickard
told me he had taken sheep from Mr..
DYER. 1 have been in the marshal's
Office since came to the city this time
was introduced to the attorneys for the
receiver, have not conversed with them
have conversed with the receiver about
what L knew; this was yesterday, in
the receivers office; Mr.. Moffatt was
present; do not know whether or not
he was taking what | said --
Mr.. WILLIAMs-Here is a copy of it..
Mr.. HUNTER, continuIDg-I went to
the marshaPs Office because was sub
p9naed.
TO Mr. WILLIAMs-I was subp9naed
by Mr.. Dyer, in his bshalf: was never
subp9naed for the other side; had
herding outfit, and wanted to lease
sheep: Mr.. Pickard's terms were higher
than l wanted to pay for sheep of that
quality; he wanted oue-half more than
was usual for the same grade; tried
to get sheep elsewhere, but was not
successful; l would not have taken
them but for my situation; independent
of my circumstances | would not have
paid more than one and half pounds
of wool, and eight lambs on the 100;
know of men who could not sell better
sheep at $1.75 per head; have seen the
Farnsworth sheep. including about 600
Church sheep; they would shear from
three and a half to four pounds; they
are below the average, being
LOOSE WOOL SHEEP;
they were worth about 81 OF $1.25 per
head; they were gathered as tithing
sheep; the sheep got from Mr.. Pick
ard were superior TO the Farnsworth
herd; I consider fair rental for
$4,000 of the average of such sheep,
scattered in thirty or forty places, for
one year, to responsible man, Zoe. to
25c. per head-that is, if he had to
gather them; the lambs returned from
my herd, if allowed 10 run with the
sheep till Decembsr, would be worth
about 81 per head.
To Mr. CRITCHLow-Mr. Bowman
subEeaaed me; l did not see Captain
Greenma1; did not know he had a SUBJ
pmna for me; I helped to gather the
Farnsworth sheep in the fall of 1887;
Pickard leased to the Farnsworths the
church sheep they had gathered.
