BEAVER, Utah, Dec. 1.-The Second
district court convened this morning.
In the case of the people against Jack
Moore and Lars Thompson. convicted
of stealing a calf belonging to Bishop
Wilson. of Wayne county. the defend
ants were granted new trial. The
court stated that he did not think the
verdict was warranted by the evil
dence, especially as to defendant
Thompson, whom he did not think was
connected sufficiently with the stealing
to warrant his conviction.
The case of the people VS.. H. E.
Lisonbee, indicted for befouling waters
with his sheep, was dismissed on mo-
ton of the prosecution, and upon his
representation that the evidence
wouldn't warrant conviction
S. N. Slaughter, assessor, VS.. S. G..
Ord and others; judgment by default
rendered for the plaintiff in the sum of
sos and costs. A stay of proceedings
till next term was granted and a mo-
ton filed to set aside the judgment.
P T. Farnsworth vs. S. R. Angel;
forty days granted within which, to
hear motion to set aside an order Of
sale and decree of partition heretofore
rendered.
Court adjourned today at noon for
tie term.
Probably The Last.
This is perhaps the last session of a
United States court for Beaver for
many days to come. A large number
of people came up to shake hands with
Judge BaTtch before leaving, realizing
that it was perhaps his last official
trip to Beaver, and the judge seemed
to be touched with the feeling mani
Tested towards him by the court OFF,
GERS and the people generally.
In the matter of the arrest of the
Crosby boys in Salt Lake the other day
for obtaining money by false PRE-
lenses in which Deputy Tullmer was
criticised for at first refusing to admit
them to bail up there it is but Justice
to say in Mr.. Fullmer's behalf that he
was right as he has always been in
his official work. The warrant COM
mandod him to bring them before the
court If the court had not adjourned
for the term, and it was also requested
by the prosecution that they be here
this morning for arraignment, as
the cases are Enthusiastically plain,
and it was thought they
would both plead guilty, and the only
reason Fullmer did not bring them
along was because Mr.. Swan, who did
not understand the situation, wrote
Fullmer a note advising him to admit
the boys to bail.
Wrong, AS Usual.
AS to trying to eXtort a fare out of
the boys, Fullmer says the Tribune
reporter misstated the facts by TAX
ing the prisoners story of the whole
matter, which is seldom reliable. The
boys were indicted for selling court
certificates, which were issued to them,
allowing mileage by stage from Salt
Lake. They took their certificates to
Court Commissioner Bates to be certi-
fed for taxes, when they were inform
ed by the commissioner that they were
given too much on mileage, and that
they could only be paid for railway
travel from Salt Lake to Milford, a
difference of one-half. The commits
sioner thereupon told one of them to
go back to the clerk and have his GER
tifcate corrected accordingly. which
the boy promised to do. but instead Of
doing that he went with his brother
ard sold the certificates to A. L. Fen
ninore for their face value and slid
out.
