There was wrath on the banks of the Bear, audit was loudly declared that tho men charged should not be arrested, and that bail should bo taken.

A demand was urged that Wright and Schoonover should bo also bailed, but sheriff Burt showed a warrant issued some time ago, signed by judge MeKean, for the arrest of Wright, on tho charge of horso stealing.

The cihdaviis, it is said, disclose some peculiar items of news; such as, that the boi cuts, choicest rasts, and the sweetbreads had to go from Martin's Mar-tin's butcher's stand to Mr, Johnson's; that last winter about a thousand head of cattle were stolen, with the utmost impartiality from Jew, Gentile, Mormon Mor-mon and tho stranger who bad the temerity to drive cattle in that region; 1 that even cows belonging to Corinno thorns were gobbled up with fat i beeves; thai the jjioek was mostly driven up through Fooatello valley to the Snake, river region aud sold anywhere any-where a market could be got for it: and that there are still a hundred and sisty I head of cattle in Suake river valley. This is- the ta'e as 'twas told to us; extenuating ex-tenuating nothing, nor sxtting down aught in malice. |
