Federal judge halts sale of horses wah briefs LDS break around for new temple do-Utah state line. The tribal leaders contended many of the horses rounded up Aug. 28 and 29 near Ouray, Utah, were strays from a herd owned by Richard Jenks Jr. The Utes claim the horses wandered onto public grazing land because the government was negligent in maintaining a 17-mile fence along the reservation boundary. Federal attorney William Ryan said the BLM rounded the horses up under the Wild Horse Act.

The horses were destined for the adopt-a-horse program set up to protect the West's wild mustangs. The BLM keeps the herds on public land at manageable levels by selling the horses to the public at $125 a head. Ryan said Thursday during the first day of testimony after the brands were inspected, 19 horses were returned to Jenks. can walk up to a wild horse, if you don't want to walk back." An Indian "knows by heritage" about wild horses and how to identify his own stock by sight, Pike said. Greene remanded the case back to the BLM to determine which horses were wild and to listen to the Indians' comments.

The judge also ordered both sides back to his court so he can approve of the way the issue is to be resolved. Martin Seneca tribe attorney, said the ruling means if the Indians can identify the horses as their own, the government should consider that in determining proof of ownership. "They basically told us that whatever our asertions were in terms of explaining those animals belong to us, they would not accept. It was much like saying we were lying," Seneca said following the ruling. SALT LAKE CITY (UPI) A federal judge has barred the sale of horses rounded up by the federal officials last month, ruling the animals have a worth beyond economic value to Ute Indians who claim ownership of the horses.

Judge J. Thomas Greene ruled Friday the animals carry economic, re- ligious and spiritual significance to the tribe and that the Bureau of Land Management should consider more than physical evidence in determining ownership of the animals. The tribe argued horses carry a spiritual meaning beyond economic value and asked for a court-ordered halt to the sale of a horse herd they claim was illegally rounded up by federal agents. The tribe asked Greene to bar the Bureau of Land Management from moving or selling more than 100 horses captured with helicopters by the Ute Reservation near the Colora Greene said "there's something fundamentally wrong" with the estimates on the wild horses near the reservation. BLM officials estimated 50 animals were in the area but more than 100 were rounded up, he said.

"I find that in fact plaintiffs sustained irreparable harm" when the horses were rounded up, Green said. "I think it's apparent from all of the evidence that many of the horses are not typical wild horses," the judge said, adding the BLM should have known there was a discrepency in figures. Stewart Pike, a tribal leader and horse breeder, testified the Ute horses could not be easily confused with wild horses, which are very slender, with a larger head than domesticated stock and are as wild as deer or elk. "If you tangle with wild horse, you'll know it," he told Ryan. "You Father says he is suspect in kidnapping they are accusing me," James said.

Steven Ray James, 30, said past criminal charges of kidnapping and child abuse against him were dropped, but claims investigators continue holding the record against him. "They have no other suspects, so said, because he thinks they are unreliable. "I was found guilty for something I didn't do when I was younger because I didn't pass one." James' infant son Steven Roy James has been the subject of an intensive search and kidnapping investigation since he was reported missing by his father Aug.
