Where two brands are found upon

ship rests with the owner of the older
brand and the burden of proof rests
with the owner of the newer brand,
says the modified desicion in the case
of the state OF oregon VS.. w. u. Moss.
of Lake County, convicted in the cir
cult court Of cattle rustling and ac-
quilted by a reversal by the supreme
court. The opinion has been supreme
here by District Attorney r. /. Kea-
tor, who was recently called to Salem
to assist in presenting evidence for
the prosecution.
While the opinion declares that
there are strong suspicious of guilt
on the part of Moss. wealthy cattle
owner, still the unerring finger of
conviction does not point to him as
guilty of n crime, owing to a missing
link in the chain of evidence. The
opinion holds that Moss was not per-
sonally responsible for the appearance
of his brand on a large number of cat
tie found in his herd and bearing other
brands of a longer standing.
