LIVE STOCK IS MISSING.
Serious Charges Rejecting on Striking
Miners of Carbon County

The ex-strikers in the Carbon county
coal camps seem to be getting hard up
for food. for they are helping them
selves freely to live stock that does not
belong to them, and the remains Of
the same have been found In the strik-
ers' camps. Attorney General Breeder
went TO Scohed last night In connection
with these Illegal performances more
detailed Information as 10 which Is CIV
en- below from the Eastern Utah AdYo-
cate.
Angelic Polott pleaded guilty before
Justice Ward at Helper last Friday to
slaughtering on the range steer be-
longing TO Thomas Rhoades. He was
brought here and placed In jail, where
he will most likely remain until his
case comes UP az the october term Of
district court His bonds were placed
at 81 600 but he was unable to get sure
ties. There was already an indictment
against the man for a similar offense
committed some months ago, but the
officers had been unable To apprehend
him
Ever since the strike leaders cut off
assistance from those who quit the EN-"
ploy of the Utah Fuel company, state
the county officers, many depredations
OF the kind have been committed ON the
range as far TO the northeast as Whit
more park and over towards Scoheld
and Clear Creek. That the strikers have
been advised TO kill cattle and sheep,
the sheriff and county attorney say
there is no doubt.
They are no respectors Of persons but
60 after the herds and the hocks OF
friend and foe alike Sheriff wilcox
has for some time been notifying own
ers Of stock what they might look for
Unless there is a cessation Of depre'
dations the stockmen may organize Tor
their own protection.
