ElkO Cattle Stealing Case

The jurNjn the case of Dave Moore.
on trial at Elko charged with stealing
a heifer. disagreed after two days
elaboration. Moore claimed he had
shot the heifer because he believed
it was afflicted with rabies and was
so vicious that it had attacked his
small son. The ballot of the jury
stood ten for conviction and two for
acquittal.
The Independent says the evidence
at the trial tended to show that the
defendant had prepared to dress the
carcass of the animal for beef. having
partially skinned it. and then aban-
doned his purpose and informed the
owners that he had shot it because
it had attacked his son. There was
no evidence to show injury to the
boy, but the defendant explained the
effort to skin the carcass by stating
that he intended to remove the head
for shipment to Reno to have it test
ed for rabies.
