About the 2Sth Of last month, Zed
Harvey borrowed Lyman Browns saddle
Mt Fossil, TO use it q day or two, 90 Mr.
Brown says. After waiting several
weeks he concluded that Harvey had no
intention OF returning the saddle and he
had warrant sworn out for his arrest,
on charge of larceny by bailee. sher-
iff Wilcox found Harvey Saturday at the
home of A. Lamberson in Ferry Canyon
and made the arrest, taking min to Fos-
sil next day. He had his examination
before Justice Donaldson Monday, who
also concluded that Harvey was guilty
and imposed fine upon him of $25 or
80 days in the county Jail. Being
"short" that amount, Zed is boarding
out his fine at the rate of S31S cts day
which, by the way, is not quite as
easy layout as provided by our statute,
which allows " day. Perhaps the
statute can stand little revision, any
way, in that direction.
