ne redeived the note, McLennan
vent through his pasture to
round up his horses and take
them to the barn. Matthews
.vent to the McLennan ranch No
vember 27 to look for his horses.
Not finding the two he claimed,
he went through MrLenn&n's
pasture and found the carcasses
of the horses with their heads
cut off and the brands peeled.
Matthews and five other men,
including Gus Reader, deputy
sheriff of Shaniko, searched the
whole canyon in which the car
casses were, unable to find either
the heads of the horses or the
brands.
The theory of McLennan's de
fence was that the branding and
killing of the horses on his ranch
was a "plant" by his enemies,
Matthews and McLennan, ac
cording to the evidence brought
out in the case, have had an ill
feeling for each other for the
past 10 or 11 years,
The state's evidence showed
that McLennan and McDonald
were seen driving a band of
horses into the canyon on the af
ternoon that the horses were
suppose to have been killed.
This evidence was given by Dave
Wilson, who stated on the stand,
the two defendants remained in
the canyon for about fifty min
utes. It was largely on the tes
timony of Wilson that McLennan
was found guilty.
F. V. Galloway was attorney
for McLennan and McDonald,
