headquarters of the district are two grand larceny cases thcj state vs Jed Mott and the state vs Joseph Smith These are cattle stealing cases and some apprehension is feared by the officers that no conviction can be had The alleged stealing occurred In 1S97 before the new code went into effect and the > arrested the are men were preliminary pre-liminary hearings had informations I filed etc last year The men are accused i ac-cused of stealing practically a whole i herd of cattle over in the Escalante country but the proof centers around i one or two head and those one at a time so it will ne
