OGDEN, Sept. lS.-August Bodh,
charged with an assault upon Deputy
Sheriff ]. L. Hobson with Intent to COM
nit murder. was found not guilty by
jury in Judge j. A. Howells court late
this afternoon In returning this ver-
diet. the jury exonerated Bodh OF the
charge OF assault with deadly weapon
with Intent to do great bodily harm In
addition 20 the charge OF attempted MUIR
der, both having. been made In the IN
formation on which he was tried.
The verdict was a surprise TO those
who have watched closely the progress
of the case during the past four days.
The only plea In his own behalf for the
shooting OF the officer on the night OF
July % was that OF self-defense. and In
the face OF this Bodh was made to admit
that he fired the first shot, sending a
bullet through Hobson's right leg when
the first shot went Wild. The officer then
shot Bodh In the arm.
The attorneys completed their argu-
ments shortly after u o'clock noon today

The committee then suggests that in

reasons brought out in the arguments
Just preceding.
In regard to the sena tors argument
that an adverse claimant may come for

made valuable improvements on land
bought from the state. and assert that
the land did not pass 70 the state under

If any such instance has occurred in
Utah In cases or school section. the
committee has not heard OF IT, II adds
that most mineral lands In Utah are
so situated that IL IS hardly likely that
a purchs sser would put valuable i'm
provements On them except for mining.
The committee says that il does not
clearly understand the meaning OF the
senator's statements that such an ad

that IL presumes that the sentence con-

Another Reason Given.

The committee then says there is an
other reason why classification OF land

he left to determinat ton by government
workers hereafter making field eXamna-
tions, this being that the committee is
sure the state land board will not agree
with the senator that mineral lands are
not OF the chara cter granted under state
school grants. This not only for reasons
before given. but because il is we'll set
tied law that mineral lands are only eX
cepted from the state land grant when

would still be the question if the land
was known TO be mineral on January a.,

must determine both whether the lands

every reason to believe that the state

Another Suggestion.

The committee further suggests amend :

The committee then calls the attention
Of the senator TO portion OF his letter
in which he says that before the secre-
tary of the Interior under the proposed
bill, can certify lands TO the state. he
is required to examine them and deter
mine whether they arc OF the character

added that the interior department un-
