aud placed in the city Jail. He will be
taken 10 Idaho fhis morning.
The gang of thieves which Sheriff
Lowry has been in search of has used
most nudacious methods in the tbcfts.
II IS alleged that they stole twenty
head Of cattle from Bannock county
ranchcrs and that they drove this
stolen herd from Bannock county TO
Ogden, where they disposed of them
only few days ago.
The thieves. however. did not take
n direct course between Bannock coun.
tv and the Junction City. but travelled
over 10n miles out of their way to
cvade pursuit.
Sheriff Lowry is confident that other
members of the gang Of thieves are in
hiding in this vicinity and that in a
few davs there will be more arrests
That the thieves should have dared
to drive the stolen herd to Ogden and
put il up for sale is considered by the
police To indicate that the gang is
composed OF desperate characters that

FINE POINTS SEEN
AS TO WIRE TAPPING
Defendants Insist That COM
plants Are Not Good
Under Statute.

Two important legal questions arc
raised in the argument by the defense in
The case OF the state against De witt &
Lowe. stock broker. and Messrs Scott
May, McCalister and Perkins. his as
sociates and assistants in an alleged
wire-tappinc, offense.
H. will he remembered that Nr Lowe
and the other defendants were first
placed under arrest nearly three months
ago. but were able to furnish approved
bonds without delay. On the first and
plants were found 10 be defective, and
the prosecution had the defendants
technically rearr@ated under new COM
plalnt.
i. c, Loofbourow. The taking OF test-
mony Was concluded yesterday and the
arguments on motion To dismiss the
compl3 n,s begun. Attorney ~. y. Smith
tion Of arguments for the defense The
motion for dismiSsal is based upon two
principal grounds:
First, that, according to the statute,
person 10 be guilty of wire-tappinS
must be convicted of learning the con-
tents OF a message while IL is passing
over telegraph wire Tho defense al
leges HAT even if all tho alIegs tions of
can be shown is the learning OF the con-
tents OF I'll" message after u had
reached its destination and passed into
open air, so that the offcnse cannot be
construed as wire tapping
The second point raised Is that the
statute expressly provides that In order
TO constitute an offcnsc under the law
the tapping must be from n public
wire. and " is the contenlIou of thr dc
fcnsc That the wire in question was II
leased wire belonging exclusively Cor Il
definite period each day to a private
wire.

will be madc today by other ATTORNEYS
