The storm in Texas.

Fort Worth Gazette Reports of the
disastrous effects of that unprecedented
cold spell continue to arrive from differ
ent sections of the state. Loss of sheep
was extremely heavy. It is estimated that
fully 10000 sheep perished in the coun-
ties Of Lampasas, Brown, Hamilton, Co.
ryell. and San Saba. COL Charles Gov
ington, in Coryell county, lost 800 head
Of sheep in one flock. His ranch is very
large. and the sheep are kept in separate
tlocks. The others sought the shelter OF
the woods. but this particular flock came
up near the house at sundswn and lay
down In the drizzling rain. Next morn
ing Col. Covingtoa concluded to salt this
flock as compensation for their exposure.
10 his surprise. when he scattered salt on
the frozen earth none of tho sheep arose,
and an examination revealed the fact that
every ono of the large flock was frozen
stift. The wool c!insing to the ice had
prevented their rising when the sudden
change of temperature came. Many
farmers are engaged in going over their
ranches hunting dead sheep ana shearing
their oarcasses. In San Saba county a
large ranchman with half .dszsn cow
boys went out hunting stock, and, re-
turning half-frozen, they left their horses
standing outside while they entered the
house. Half an hour afterward every
hsrsc was found dead. covered with ice.
The loss Of sheep will result in short
wool crop the coming season,
