Sheep Herding

Starting with a poor grade of Mexican
sheep, sheep men in northern and central
Arizona, by importing Merino, Southdown
and Cotswold strains, have graded up the
poor quality of Arizona sheep to very fair
average on all ranges and very good strains
ON many of the ranges, and well.bred sheep
on some. The climatic conditions are as
good in Arizona for sheep as other stock.
The alfieria of central Arizona is fine
food for them, as also the. pine grass of
northern Arizona. Heretofore all atten-
ton has been paid to cattle. but sheep are
now receiving their share. The industry is
confined mostly to the higher attitudes. It
is very seldom in the past that whole bands
have been frozen up in Arizona in the snow
in night as in the northern states, because
in driving them short distances by com
paratively easy stages warmer localities in
lower valleys can be found in which food
can be obtained equally as well. Sheep
in Arizona are going to be profitable if the
rains continue with the same frequency the
coming years as in the past, producing the
same generous pasturage

showered with kisses as they pushed
through the crowd TO leave the church
The groOms were dressed in conventional
black. and the brides. having been 20 the
altar before were also srrayed in dark
robes. Both couples went TO their homes
where they announced they would be at

MEANEST OF THIEVES
He Hides Under the Bed to Rob a
Crippled soldier

A most despicable and deeply laid plot
10 rob an old crippled soldier was sue
eessfully planned and carried out in this
city Wednesday night. The person rob-
bed was Louie Davis who perambulates
himself along in a tricycle. and makes a
d. livelihood by selling bananas and peanuts
pm the corner Of the first alley north Of
Douglas avenue.
Mr.. Davis lives at 30S North Main. He
went 10 his home about o'clock at night
and after eating supper retired and read
Tor over an hour. His room door was
locked during his absence and found so
when he got home. When he went to bed
abe door was again locked He dimmed
The light and fell fast asleep. In the morn
ing he discovered his loss, which was all
the money he had in his clothing, $50,
and his room door unlocked.
He says he believes the thief was all
Fhe time concealed in his room. as ne
remembers several times during the hour
he devoted TO reading OF hearing an unfa-
miliar noise close to his bed. Mr. Davis
has habit Of looking under the bed and
around his room every night, but on this
one occasion failed 10 do so.
