COLORADO MOUNTAIN SHEEP.
The Day Not Far Distant When They
VIII Re Extinct,

Will BE Extinct.
From the Denver Republican: Noun
tain sheep appear to be increasing
in Colorado, and, stranger still, the
rare and timid animals are leaving
their dizzy haunts among the hlgh
mountain peaks and drawing nearer to
the h%abitations of man than ever be-
fore. In the comparatively low lands,
near the town of Jefferson, there is now
a flock of fifty or more mountain sheep.
Jefferson is on the South Park railroad,
about eighty-ene miles southwest OF
Denver, in Park county. 1t is an old
fashioned community, and has near it
the well-known summer resort, Jeffer-
son Lake. The vicinity, disturbed by
the rumble of trains as well as the
sounds of human life and industry, is
not at all a quiet one. 1t has noise OF
the characteristics which usually mark
the natural home of the almost extinct
mountain sheep. And yet for several
days past, a band of at least fifty of
the soft-eyed, large-horned native sheep
of the Rocky Mountains has been calm
ly grazing around the town of Jeffer-
son and close to the railroads. 1t is
said that the sheep do not display any
sign of fear of the Jefferson people.
Many of them come in open daylight
within easy pistol shot of the resi-
dences. They do not run away unless
somebody purposely tries to brighten
them. For many years past the sight
of q mountain sheen has heen a rarity
in Colorado, and usually but one at a
time has been seen. A hunter far off
from civilization might descry a soli-
tary sheep perched on a crag overlook
Ing some wild and steep canyon, but
hardly ever within gunshot range. No
such thing as fifty sheep together has
been reported, eve by the veriest
M~unchausen Of hunters. When a lone
sheep was seen it usually disappeared
from view at the slightest alarm.
Considering these things, the descent
of fifty sheep upon the town of Jeffer-
SON., as though they had formed them
selves into an excursion party some
look reasonably explainable. The gen
eral theory is that bitter cold and deep
SHOWS in the higher attitudes drove
them downward, and that they Joined
together for mutual protection as they
travelled from peak to peak. Killing
mountain sheep is absolutely prohib-
tied by law in Colorado. 1t is a closed
season all the year round with the ami
mails, just as it is with buffalo.

Office and Yards ut South st. Paul.
To Live stock Dealers.

South ST. Paul, Mimi, Feb. 2SS, 1897.
The Saint Paul Union Stockyards Com
pany has to announce that one of the
packers of pork who has been located at
South st. Paul for several years past,
is about to remove to New Brighton.
There is little of Importance in his re-
moval, but there has been a vast amount
of eXaggeration and Misrepresentation
set af1oat by interested parties, in an
nouncing the removal to the public,
which I deem it my duty to correct.
In the first place, the removing packer
has no interest here, except that of q
renter, and while he has occupied ono
of our slaughter houses for some time
past, he has not killed a hog m said
house during the past seven or eight
months. I mention this fact to show
that his remova will not affect our mar
ket, and that he is but a small factor
in making the prices for live stock. 1
do not consider this renova an evil, as
1t will place us in q position, very shortly,
to supply his place with parties who will
do business, and who will have sufficient
capital to do it on a scale in keeping
with the extensive facilities that our
company has provided, and which the
present vacator has utterly failed for
the better part of the year past to utilize.
The removing packer, during the past
eight months, has bought less han four
per cent of the cattle, less than two per
cent of the sheep, and about six per cent
of the hogs that nave been sold and
received at this place; so it becomes at
once plain that his removal is an unim-
portant event. and when it is understood
that his place will be filled by stronger
and better people within a brief time,
it becomes self-evident that it will be a
blessing.

we have only to say to the shippers, don't
be misguided by men who misreprensent
the true situation to induce you to hip
to the wrong market, but let your good
judgement guide you to the larger and
better market, where competition and a
guaranteed open and Independent mar
ket, free from rings and corrupt manipu-
lation, will secure you the fullest prices

yourselves to be hoodwinked with false

fallen upon the floor. The idea that
the food should be spoiled was disa-
greeable to Herrick and so he picked
up the little brown bundle.
He knew that the contents OF that
package was money. 1t felt like a
mass of bills folded, awkwardly
wrapped up, and fastened with elastic
bands. Through the brown covering
Herrick could feel the c~rlspness of the
government paper. The amount might
be a poor mans monthly wages or a
rich mans profit on a great transac-
ton.
1t seemed a ldES time before another
light struck III upon him. At the mo-
ment when it did so he saw a face close
to the cab door and he lodged back,
covering the bills with his hands. But
the chance passenger on the street saw
nothing; he was thinking of his own
affairs, no doubt, and had no inkling
of the strange thing that passed so
close to his eyes.
Herrick was himself again in a mo-
ment, and he bent forward, eagerly
scanning the bills in his hand, and
counting them feverishly. There were
40 Of them, and each was of the de-
nomination of 81, 1000.
Throughout the later period of the
young mans misfortunes, he had had
substantially but one wish-to rest.
Rest has many forms, suited to a vast
variety OF individual tastes. To Her
rick in his day-dreams it had ALWAYS
taken the form of travel without care,
All paths lie open for a mar who has
$4,000, and there is no reason why
care should sit behind him as lie rides.
Herrick had only the most shadowy
thought for the person who had lost
this money. He did not even speculate
upon the manner of its loss.
He disposed the notes in his pockets
In the best interests of comfort and
safety. Then he folded up the brown
paper and pocketed that also, with a
dim consciousness that. if it wore left
in the cab, it might get the driver into
trouble. The fellow was honest, no
doubt, and Herrick did not wish tkat
he should suffer Il wrong. He pre-
ferred to keep the wrapper himself.
and take the risk of it until he could
in some means of disposing of it that
would be safer than throwing it out o.
the cab window.
The cab stopped suddenly, its p1th
being blocked by a tangle of vehicls s..
Herrick softly put his hand upon the
catch OF the door, 1t yielded noise
lessly; the door swung open.
Herrick stepped out. Turning back
for an instant he perceived the cabman
sitting upon his box IN entire uncon-
sciousness of the fraud that was being

AN EIGHT-TON MOLLUSk.
Ashore on the Beach of Anastasia

Island.
The huge mollusk ashore on the
beach of Anastasia island continues to
attract the attention of scientists,
says the Florida Citizen. DR.. Dewitt
Webb has received instructions to
spare no expense in obtaining a series
of photographs of the carcass and
with this end in view he engaged four
heavy horses, a dozen men and with
three sets of tackle went to South
Beach yesterday for the purpose of
of raising the heavy object from it's
bed in the sand and placing it upon a
board platform, so that it can be pho
tographed and examined on all sides.
When the party reached the mollusk
the tide was found to be favorable for
work and after several hours of labor
the great mass was hauled from the
sand in which it was imbedded and
placed on a platform of boards. The
men at work, who are in the habit of
handling heavy weights, state that the
carcass weighs fully eight tons. What

the mass has been ashore for nearly
two months and if it is true that it
f1oated from the arctic regions it lost
its tentacles and shell en- route. The
shape Of that part of the mollusk that
was imbedded in the sand is similar
to that which was exposed from the
time it came ashore, but another series
of photographs will be taken, as a view
of the entire mass al 10Y be obtained
since it has been placed on the plat
form. These photographs will be
sent to the Smithsonian institution and
to Yale College for the purpose of
classification.
