PARADISE BUTCHER
ACCUSED OF THEFT
Claim Made That Attempt Had Been
Made to Cut Brand From Cows
Stifle, But Cutting Was on
Wrong Side of Hide

Facing a charge of felony by
grand larceny, Carlos Gondra, Para
dis butcher, was brought to this
city yesterday afternoon by Sheriff
George Brady and lodged in the
county Jail.
Gondra was arrested upon COM
plant being made by Tom Dooley,
Of Paradise, who came to this city
Sunday for the purpose of swear
ing out complaint against the
butcher. Dooley declared that one
Of his cows had disappeared and
that upon investigation having been
made, the hide was found ON Con
dra's property with the brand "D''
still on it. Upon his complaint
being made, Sheriff Brady made a
trip to Paradise yesterday morning
to secure information, returning
here for a warrant issued by Justice
Of the Peace w. T. Roberts, who
had been summoned from Golconda.
He made the second trip to Paradise
yesterday afternoon, effecting the
arrest and returning here with Con-
dra in his custody yesterday even
ing.
Upon reaching Paradise yesterday
morning, Brady made inquiry as to
the purchase of the beef in ques-
ton and was informed by Gondra
and a number of his friends that
he had purchased the COW from
Steve Boggio of the U. P. ranch
and that the COW had been branded
with the "7 u. p" brand. Upon in
vestigation of the hide hanging or
the fence at Gondra's place, nc
such brand was in evidence, but
the brand 3D." as before stated
is said to have been found.
That an effort had been made te
remove the brand, Brady says, was
evident, as square Of hide hao
been cut from the left hip insteac

being done at night.
The hide and the head of tn,

from Indians in the neighborhood

given by Dooley. No hide bearing
the az U. P" brand was found, ant
