Judge Mcfarland was occupied Tuesday
in AN inn ortant case. One James Bel
sued Donald Fowler for wages due as "a
sheep herder. Mr.. Bell had been working
for Mr.. Fowler and there was no dispute
as to the wages earned, but on the night Of
the 10th of last November, while out with
II band OF sheep, Bell became lost aud left
the sheep about midnight and came to
camp. While he was away wolves killed
and injured tifty-siS sheep all but two of
which died from the effects of the bites.
Mr.. Fowler thought Bell should pay for
the sheep killed which the latter refused to
10. Judgment was rendered for Bell; but
he Judge, in deciding the case, said it was
a case of negligence, and tIat inasmuch a.
Bell had stayed with the sheep until mid
night, and it being a stormy night, he could
not think that he had been guilty of neg
lect. 1t was demonstrated in the case that
"A herder is liable Tor any neglect by reason
of which sheep are lost or | lied, but that
in this particular case the herder had used
due diligence in protecting the property en-
trusted to him. 1t will be well for sheep
men and herders to govern themselves ae-
cordingly, as there are likely to be more
cases OF this sort.
