Scope and Contents

Graves seeks advice on the case of a Mexican boy taken prisoner by the Utahs, and sold to the brother of a Navajo chief. The chief purchased the boy and owned him until he ran off with a horse, saddle, bridle and lariat. The question is who the horse rightfully belongs to, and what the repercussions of any decision will lead to.
