shepherd Killed by Lightning and
the Sheep Go ON a Long Journey.
"A herder in charge of flock of 1000
sheep which were grazing near the base
OF the San Francisco mountains in Ari-
iona was killed by lightning during a
terrific storm which visited that section
about August 1. AS the herder was not
expected to come in with his sheep I'M
til October his absence during August
and September was in the regular line
o. business and attracted no attention.
but when the middle of October came
and he did not appear messengers were
sent out to find him and see what was
the matter. After search of some
days in the vicinity of where he was
last seen, the remains of camp were
found under a tree which had been
rlven by the lightning. The cooking
utensils were scattered about and the
remains of a blanket were found, which
were identified as parts of one which
the man had taken with him. The wa
ter key was also recognized by mark
which had been burned into one of the
slaves. A further search revealed the
bones of man sea altered about over the
ground, some of them more than hun
dred yards from the tree, where they
had evidently been carried by the
wolves
A prospector who had passed that
way had camped night with the man
about August l. and said the herd was
then moving northward. This tree,
around which these. articles were found,
was just about far enough north to
have been the next camping place, and
as it was remembered that there was
severe storm with thunder and light
ming in that section one night about
the time referred to it was clear that
the man made his camp under this
tree, and had been killed by lightning
and his body devoured by wolves. The
sheep had never been heard of, and no
trace of them could be found anywhere
in that part of the country.
But now comes the strange part of
the story: About three weeks ago a
herd of about 1000 sheep was found on
the plain in San Miguel county, in New
Mexico, with no one in charge Of them,

this fact and wrote to an officer in the
county where the sheep were found, Civ
ing tneir marks, and explaining how the
animals could be identified, when it was
found beyond any doubt that this was
the same herd that had disappeared
from the range in Arizona about August
I. They had been shifting for them
selves for at least three months and a
half, and turned up at point fully 500
miles from where the herder was killed,

Entertained at Chess.

There is growing interest in chess
among the citizens of this city, and
Judge and Mrs. Norton, who, by the
way. are quite fond of it and "pay a
good game, had a few "chess players
at their cosy home Wednesday night.
There were four tables, at which
were seated Judge and Mrs. Norton,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Nj. Nichols, Miss Mn
ME Rollwage, and Messrs. F. a. Cor
man, Joe Sanders and E. l.. Vadakin.
Absorbed in its intensely interesting
intricacies, the chess party passed a
quiet evening indeed. There was a
stiffness, indicative OF deep concern.
lowering over the scene, which was
only interrupted by an occasional
''checkn or grunt Of self-dissatisfac-
ton at some oversight by which an
advantage was lost.
Chess is much like the game of life
opportunities once passed by, may
never again present themselves, and
success, perching just ahead, is lost
forever by one false play.
The games continued until Ii o'clock,
when dainty refreshments were served,
and while these were being enjoyed it
was suggested by the writer that
Chess club be organized and that it
meet at least once each week. The
idea was heartily concurred in and
upon motion r. A. German was chosen
president of the organization.
The pleasures of the evening were
discussed and challenges given and &C
cepted for future games, and the party
adjourned, feeling under many oblga-
tons to the host and hostess for most
delightful evening of chess.
