the hides. but could find no sign of
the hides.
Alex Wylie. another employe of
the Eureka Land & Stock Company,
was sworn and corroborated a con-
siderable portion of Mr.. Kitchens
testimony.
Isadore Sara, president of the Eu-
reka Land & Stock Company. testi-
| fled that he was in town on Decem-
Der 16; he went out with Mr.. Kitchen
and was shown where the cattle were
taken from. and it was in Eureka
County. His statement further cor
roborated Mr.. Kitchens testimony
regarding the tracking of the cattle
and his part in directing the hunt for
the stolen cattle. After telling of his
failure to find the hides after ii
dressed beef had been found. he
said that on his second hunt for then,
he found where a narrow tired
wagon had left the Overton place
and gone up canyon between 5 0|
and 600 yards, turned to bluff, a..d
about ten feet from the wagon
tracks one hide had been cached un-
der some brush; the wagon tracks
then continued over a little ridge
and stopped. where, the other hide
after being rolled up was hidden un-
der some pine boughs about ten feet
distant from the wagon tracks; the
tracks then showed that the wagon
was driven back direct to the house.
Sara then exhibited in court the two
hides he had found; one was that of
yearling coming two, and the other
that of a critter between two and
three years old; he said the COM
pany's cattle were branded on the
right rump; each of the hides ex-
hibited in court showed large holes
in them where the brands should
have shown; he said the hides showed
that they had been removed from
the animals seven or eight days;
could not find any heads or hoofs; no
fresh ones; saw no other wagon
tracks; wagon track from Overton's
house showed tires to be one and
half inches wide; further examined
premises and where they killed the
beef; found where limbs had been
cut by ak that had nick in it; found
AK at the house that had same nick
| in it; limbs were taken from where
beef was slaughtered; ak and limbs
exhibited in court showing CORES
ponding nick.
Sara stated he had conversation
with Overton on Dec Is. when the
latter told him he had been trapping
coyotes around the cow camp and
came home Monday and found Park
er there; he and Parker were there
Monday night and nearly all the next
day, except when the latter went to
find a location to trap horses; Parker
went to Willow Creek for flour and
came back and ate supper Tuesday
night, leaving there at dusk. Sara
said he asked Overton if he saw any
one around the place that day; latter
replied that Tuesday evening he saw
several parties riding and thought
they were the Allison bunch; thought
he noticed one iron gray horse in the
bunch; Sara said one of the horses
sent over there with his boys was an
iron gray horse.
Henry Wedekind was called and
testified that he was at Indian Greek
about Dec. Is tracking some beef
that had been taken from the Eureka
Land & Stock Company range; found
tracks of two men and horse tracks;
one of horses appeared to be shod In

one small; followed tracks up to house;
found same tracks at house and
around barn; saw ak at house. was
lying by stick of wood about 30 feet
from house; saw saddle by AK and a
