Maeser and George hales, proprietors of the Utonian were arrested and placed under $1500 bonds on the charge of libel, it having accused deputies of stealing or attempting to steal valuables from some of the homes visited" (during an anti-polygamy crusade). The Manti Home Sentinel then reports the verdict on May 25th, "Packed jury business done effectual work in the Beaver Utonian libel case on Tuesday last, when they convicted manager Hales just after the editor, Maeser, had been acquitted by a different jury."
