Amateur Horse Thieves.

The report comes OF a tough fight
that has Just occurred near Thousand
Lake Mountain coal mines, near Castle
Valley, Utah. Three men who had been
living near Pioche concluded TO change
quarters, and started TO go TO Price. At
Thousand Mile Lake they camped, and in
the evening, learning thut lot Of Danish
men and women were engaged in shearing
sheep for Charles Crane, a few miles be-
low, concluded 10 go down and steal n
horse and save the wear and tear on their
own animals, which had to pack their ef-
fects in addition to themselves.
They tlled up with whisky, and next
morning charged the camp with their pis-
tolls, firing and yelling like Indians. The
Danes took 10 the brush and the raiders
thought they were going to have a picnic.
A big mule tied in front OF the cabin was
what they thought would suit, and they
were preparing 10 get away with the
beast when Crane aud his foreman ap-
pcarcd on the scene The latter, whose
name Is Kendall, knocked one of the men
on his horse with n tent pole. Crane was
shot in the neck by one of the gang but
Hot seriously Wounuci. IN return, ne
shot at the fellow, killed his horse, and
then mauled him until he was tired. Ken
dali was not idle, FOR he plugged one of
the others In the arm, disabling him,
while the other was winged by bullet in
the shoulder.
Then the two were disarmed, and for a
time !; looked as though Iynching would
be in order. But the victors would not
allow anything of the sort and sent them
away next day, n sad set. One of the men
the fellow hit with the tent pole-was q
sud sight His head was beaten to jelly,
besides being shot twice. The fellows
were very grateful TO Crane, who, they
said, was square man. "He licked US
fair and then refused to let the others
