Gently purchased large sheep ranch

which he has made extensive and valu-
able Improvements, arrived in Emporia
from the east Monday, with a lot of
over five hundred sheep, among which
are number of blooded rams and sixty
or seventy ewes, of the finest grade. On
the way, an accident occurred on the 1.
& ST. L. railroad, short distance east of
ST. Louis, by which over hundred of
the herd were killed outright, and not
few injured.
Mr.. Cowling comes 10 Lyon county

tiles of sheep culture in Kansas, and
brings with him several parties who
contemplate enlisting in the same ven

primary and paramount requisite 10
success, namely, the provision of shelter
and ample means for the best possible
care of his focks, we feel safe in be-
speaking for him an abundant measure
