APPLICATION FOR BAIL REFUSED.
Application was made by Attorney
Young for the admission to bail of Joseph
Tolliver, who is accused of the MUIR
der of Charles Sager near Cross ranch
in Uintah county about the 9th
of December, 1891. The testimony
was reviewed, showing that the prin-
cipals met and engaged in some bully
ing talk ebout boxing match. After some
bets had been made about lighting, Martin
and Tolliver engaged in scuff1e, which
turned out to be pretty rough. Tolliver
was thrown down. He got up and made
an attack upon others present and finally
blows were warded off. Tolliver contin-
ued striking blows in the breast and arm,
and made scratches upon his fiesh, which
afterwards proved to be wounds made by q
| jackknife. The blood oOzed out freely
The crowd had been drinking, and the
question upon which there is the greatest
contention is as to whether or not the men
were SO drunk that they were not respon-
s1ble for what was done.

had been some drinking and that he saw
the wounds which caused the death of
Sager, one was in the right breast and the
other in the arm. He was the man who
started the bail rolling by stating that he
was the best man in the house and engaged
in some friendly scrapping with TolliYer.
Sager lived five or six days after the
wounds had been inflicted.
/ Mr.. Young stated that Tolliver evidently
had no intention to commit felony, but
after drinking some strychuine whisky
| fourished a knife, resulting in au unfortu-
nate wound being inflicted in Sager' S
breast. Tolliver and Sager were always
! friendly and when 1t was known to the de-
PENDANT what had occurred, he used every
| effort to restore the wounded man.
The judge decided that as this testimony
showed the defendant to be possessed of an
abandoned and malignant heart, be would
be held to await the action of the granC
jury without bail.
