On Tuesday the bodies of two men were
brought here from sheep camp seventy
five miles east OF here. The story told
by the parties who brought the bodies in
is that on the cold Tuesday, week ago,
these men were froz, II to death, that they
were found frozen stiff on Wednesday
morning, and that two others were 30 in
jured that their lives are despsired Of and
that l2-year old boy who was i'll the
camp was not injured. There was no
such weather here, nor have we heard OF
any in the country cold enough to freeze.
There was cold wind, but it was not I'M
comfortable where shelter could be OBJ
tanned. The men may have been acct
dentally poisoned in their food, which is
more likely than that they were frozen.
The victims were all Mexican sheep herd.
