WARNER Alleged Cattlo Ilurtlm Accuse Each Other of Theft Barney Cona- way and Hooper Dyer Taken In Cuttody (From Tuesday's Daily.) Further complicating tho work, of tho grand Jury of tho next session of tbo circuit court was tho arrest yes terday of Barney Conaway and Hoop er Dyer, of Milllcan, on an order from tho Crook county Justice court. Both are accused ot stealing a heifer from J. E. Warn or, who several months ago waa bound over to the Doschutea county grand Jury for an alleged thett ot a cow and a steer from Tom Hueston. According to tho story Warner told the sheriff ot Crook county. Information as to whom bod bea responsible, for hla missing heifer was given him by Grover Caldwell, who was glvon a hearing last week on a charge of unlawfully taking a. stcor belonging to U. S. Busanell, of Powell Butte. Following the first two arrests officers supposed they had the aea principally responsible -for the thefts accomplished by what ts thought to bo a ring of cattle thieves. That thoy should evidently be robbiac each other has turned the matter completely around. Conaway and Dyer,, the latter only 19 years ot age, .'appeared Friday as witnesses for the state in the Cald well bearing.
