RICHFIELD, Sept. 2.-As the result
of a broncho's kick Carl sruft, a young
man of IS years who lives in Monroe,
is perhaps fatally injured. Tuft had
ridden the animal once and considered
himself master, so when he went to
get on the second time he let the ami
mai have toe slack a rein. One jump
of the broncho threw Tuft behind him
when the animals two feet were land
ed in his stomach. DR.. G. B. Loring
waited on the boy and has hopes for
his recovery, bat had the force of the
kick landed either a few inches higher
or lower he would have been killed out

D. d. Houtz and NJ. NJ. Warner are
here and both &c north this morning.
They tell Of the trial Of Joseph Sawyer
and a young Spencer at Panguitch.
1t is nearly twenty years since Saw

took their daughter, then about years
old, with her. She stayed with the
mother for several years, but went to
live with her father when IA years Of
age. The fathers home was at Assay,
a collection of ranches eighteen miles
above Panguitch, and here at dis

and Houtz. of the defense. both fought
to win. The jury was out for twenty
six hours and il seemed that they couad
not agree, but finally a verdict OF
guilty was reported and Judge McCarty
sentenced the guilty. man to twelve
years in the penitentiary.
Young Spencer was arrested with
George Davis and David Reese for
stealing long ears and doing other
things of a questionable character.
Davis has long been considered one of
"Panguitch's toughest nuts" While
Reese has been known to have slippery
fingers ever since he was boy Spen-

until he got into the company of the
other two. After his arrest Reese
Jumped his bail and has gone to parts
unknown. Davis turned states eYl-
