Sheep II, E,,.,,,o,,s Co,,,,tu.

Sheep IN En,n,o,ts County.
Mr.. Dougall Campbell, of Glencoe,
writes to the Bismarck Journal as fol.
lows, slightly correcting previous arti-
Gle on the same subject in that paper:
Con the 22d of June, 1883, at Chey-
enne, Wy. T., we bought 1000 ewes and
500 wethers, paying for the same So per
head. We left Cheyenne the next day,
and reached the Belle Fourche, east OF
the Black Hills, four weeks afterward,
without any loss. We remained there
until Sept, %, when we started for Glen
coe, arriving here Oct. 16, with the loss
of one eve. For their winter keep we
had 1870 tons OF hay. Sheds were com.
pleted Dec 1,sthe material for the sheds
consisting of cottonwood logs, prairie
hay, and sod. The winter was severe
one but with very few exceptions. the
sheep were grazing a, part Of every day.
They had been accustomed to an altitude
of 5000 feet and to digging under the
snow for feed. They were fed no hay
until Christmas and the last given them
was on March 20. Lambing commenced
May 18 and continued four weeks. On
Jnne %, or one year from the date of
purchase, our flock stood 9s5 ewes, 600
lambs and 100 wethers. The remainder
Of the wethers had been sold for mutton
during the fall and winter The loss of
ewes during the long march, the severe
winter and the lambing season was Is out
of 600. In December we brought from
Wisconsin % bucks. They are all alive
to-day. We have had among our sheep
no disease, and think the soil, water and
climate peculiarly adapted to successful
sheep culture. We think, however, that
sheep.growiug in Dakota should be com
Quoted on a kind of midway principle
between the pasture grazing together
with five months feeding in Ohio and
Indiana and the free ranging with little
Of NO feeding to be found in the south
west and on the Pacific Slope. But, as
an offset to the eastern nearness to mar.
kets, we have cheap and free lands, with
an abundance Of hay. As an offset to
the mild winters Of the Southern and Pa.
eifc States, we expect winter here and
can prepare for it with but little expense,

PLEDGE OR NO PLEDGE.
The Question Agftating Our POIiti.
cal Friends.


The discussion among the Republicans
whether they shall send pledged or n
pledged delegates TO the National Convsn-
ton is kept up. The Austin Reveille now
joins the anti-pledge papers and says:
The State papers are discussing the
question whether the delegates to either of
the Chicago conventions should be pledged
to any particular candidate or not. Some
urge that they should represent the wishes
of their constituents first, last and all the
time; in fact, be machines to do q certain
arbitrary work. Others think it best to
send them unpledged and let their best
judgment govern when they get there.
This might do if the voters had confidence
enough in the delegates to believe they
would do the very best possible for the
party. To bind q delegate 80 tightly that
he has NJ discretion is not a good plan, for
strange things often happen at conven-
tions which the shrewdest politician can
not foresee. For instance, who ever
thought Of Garfield before the last conven-
ton? The best way would be to instruct
the delegates to support Blame in one con-
vention and Tilden in the other, 30 long as
either had any show, but il dark horses or
other late accidents showed up, to be at
liberty TODD wha. seems best on the spot.
Send good clear-headed men to each con-
vention and let them do the best possible.
Another thing in this connectien-the
Coast ought to vote as a unit. The Pacific
Coast is not numerically very strong, and
the only way to have any influence in the
conventions-where it is o~utnumbered 10
to lis to vote solid. Then it can WELD
its greatest influence and be heard. whereas
if each State or individual goes it alone no
influence will be exerted. Dur best hold
is in unity,

EXCITING COURT EPISODE.
Mrs. Shawhan and Sen Threaten TO
Draw On Tyler.

ESPECIAL TO TUE sENTISEL.I
SAN Francisco, April 9.-In the Sharon
divorce case this morning, Mrs. Shawhan
was again placed on the stand. She under
went q severe cross-examination by Mr..
Tyler, counsel for Miss Hill. In answer
to questions about the various places she
had been in the habit Of visiting in this
city, she said she knew where the Califor-
mia House was; had frequently lunched
there with her husband and other gentle
men.
Judge Tyler-How often have you been
with other gentlemen to the California
House, without your husband?
Judge Evans-I object.
Judge Tyler-I propose to show that the
woman has gone to houses that are not
respectable and has visited houses of as
signation.
At this juncture the witness glanced
savagely at Tyler and placed her hand in
her pocket, as if to draw a pistol. Great
excitement suddenly prevailed. McCune
Shawhan, the witness N, rose and
walked over behind Judge Tyler. Young
Mr.. Tyler Immediately turned on Shawhan,
declaring that his object was to shoot his
father and that Shawhan had at that mo-
ment his hand on a revolver. Judge Sui
Ivan ordered the witness to leave the
stand and go to the witness room. A
heated conversation then took place be-
tween the counsel, in which young Tyler
said he saw young Shawhan with his hand
on a pistol, and if he had drawn it he
would have killed him instantly. Judge
Tyler here said il the question he had
asked her was to cause all this trouble
he would get deeper into history and show
what b woman was. General Barnes
said he had learned that Mrs Shawhan
had received threatening letters last night.
he read a part Of a letter received by her
which read: "Do not come ON the witness
stand without being protected. Miss Hill
swears that, if You testify against her, you
will not live until the Fourth of July"

Important Connection.

The connection between the southwest
drift on the $500 level of the Hale & Nor
cross, and the west drift from the Com
bination shaft. will be made to-day. This
will be a very important connection for
the whole middle series Of mines. 1t will
give cremation of air, by means OF
which the Chollar, the Potosi and the Hale
& Norcross will be able to explore a large
extent Of ground. We are informed by
Supt. Heating that active operations will
at once be commenced, and Supt. Requa
speaks to the same effect. Thus, though
there has been a season of dullness in the
middle mines, it is now our turn as regards
work and explorations.

ApriI Showers.

Instead OF the snow that we had began
to think might keep on until next July
some regular. warm, April showers came
down during yesterday. In the evening
the "windows of heaven" were opened. So
much rainfall that the rivulets through
town were swollen into so many creeks.
The water came down Ruby Avenue with
the noise OF a cataract, while the Big Ditch
fairly doomed as its current hurried down
odd socks, empty barrels, tin cans, dead
cats and dogs. There was fear of IN actual
flood, based on the presumption thai
it rained on the mountains as well
as in town. 1t is more probable. however,
that higher up snow fell instead Of rain,

The Carson correspondent Of the Silver

blue instead of red ink, as per example:
Dull times bring loss of employment to
many who, through idleness, seek excite
ment and pleasure in the dens and
brothels, where all manhood departs and
leaves only the beastly nature remaining,
and from this state of affairs springs that
other evil, the "masher," and with this
last evil Carson is overrun. We have
them of all degrees, from the salaried
official, whose time hangs heavily on his
hands; the business man, who finds but
little to do, except to stand in his door and
ogle the ladies as they pass; the dude, who
stands on the street corners, leering into
the face Of the school girl as
she passes on her way to and
from school; and, to the shame OF
human kind be it said, we have is
lower than all-the married "masher,"
who, forgetting his sworn vow to ~"cleave
unto her only so long as you both shall
live" openly shows his preference for other
women, who, by receiving his attentions,
betray themselves to be on a par with the
man who forgets his lows to revel in their
society. The woman, whether maid or
widow, who permits attentions from this
last evil, loses cast in the eyes OF all de-
cent people, and receives a stain which can
never be removed.

A Political Agent.

We feel that it is a duty we owe to, the
public at large and to our patrons espec-
tally, of whatever party, to call attention
to the character of the political dispatches
sent out by the Associated Press. It will
be important to note this and to give to
such dispatches only such credence as they
are entitled to. While they may be relied
on generally in the statement of facts, they
are to be read with suspicion when they
branch off into comment. For example,
in yesterdays SENTINEL there was a press
dispatch in regard to the municipal cleo
tions in Cleveland and Cincinnati. Pains
were taken to advertise the clean sweep
made in the former city by the Republi-
cans as a great victory, while the equally
clean Democratic sweep in the latter, and
more important city, was noted without
comment. And this morning we have a
press dispatch from Allentown, Pa, which
was gotten up with the object of
letting the world know that Randall had
been shouted for in a Democratic Conven-
ton. If such a bit Of newt gives the i'm
preston that the Pennsylvania Demo-
Gratis are "Protectionists," the dispatch
has accomplished its evident purpose.
Then we have another dispatch this
morning from Sedalia, Missouri, to show
that two insignificant factions of the
Grand Old Party, which is a cipher in that
State, have s'harmonized." Nobody out
side of Missouri knows anything or cares
anything about their feuds, but the Press
wants to show that, while the Democrats
are going to the dogs at Allentown, the
Republicans are cooling even in Sedalia
AS the campaign gets nearer and warmer
we will have more of the same. We cannot
throw it all into the waste-basket. In the
meanwhile take all political Press dis
patches with a grain of salt.

A late decision from the General Land
Office says that an Enclosure is not indis-

tract Of land under the Homestead or
