Shepherd Killed By Lightning and
the Sheep Go ON 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
terrific storm which visited that section
about August 1. As the herder was not
expected to come in with his sheep un-
til October his absence during August
and September was in the regular line
OF 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 tree which had been
riven by the lightning. The cooking
utensils were scattered about and the
remains of 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 scattered 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 1, 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 a
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 lin charge of them.
and to all appearances belonging to mo-
body. The people in Arizona heard OF
this fact and wrote to an officer in the
county where the sheep were found, Civ
ing their 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
/. 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,
and had crossed the Rio Grande ON the
way.-Chicsg Tribune.

She did. The next day she har-

ride. Flora earned her title of ''goat''
by capering around in frantic man
ner, which ended in the severing of
straps and the overturning of the We

Barbara Belts was sensible. She al

new harness on the spot and ordered

tsring her secondhand outfit as
(slightly) partial payment. That night
she wrote in her diary:

LossTERs FROM THE PACIFIC,


becoming Common In KANSAS City
and Are Preferred There
The Kansas City epicures, particular
" those who incline to the succulent
shell fish, are reveling in the recent
introduction of species of lobster new
to this part of the country. 1t is known
as the Bermuda lobster, and is very
unlike the Atlantic lobster, although Of
the same family. The advent of this
pew species is very timely, as the At.
lsntic lobster is growing scarcer and
of smaller size and poorer quality with
each succeeding season.
The Bermuda lobster is gathered on
the southern coast of California, and il
shipped here from San Diego, CAL, at
cost of five cents pound less than the
Atlantic lobster. In general appearance
the Pacific coast lobster, which gets its
name because it originated in the Ber-
muda islands, where it is now nearly
extinct, resembles the ordinary Attain
tic species, but careful examination
brings out many little features that are
not found in the Atlantic lobster. The
Bermudas are considerably larger as a
rule than the others, and the boiled
ones have richer red color. The Ber-
muda has no "shear-claw," which is q
distinguishing feature of his Atlantic
brother, but he has row of legs or
creepers on either side Of his body that
more than make up for the big ''shear-
claw" of the Atlantic lobster, and he
Is all meat. The tail part Is of the same
general character as il that of the
Atlantic species, but the flesh is more
solid and firmer and, If anything, the
flavor is better than that Of the At
lantic species.
The Bermuda Holsters have several
other points that make them differ
from those caught on the Atlantic
coasts. They have two long tentacles
or feelers that protrude in front Of the
head foot or more, and on the back
and top of the tail there are horny ex-
crescences that are not found on the
Atlantic lobster.
"The Bermudas were introduced here
only recently" said dealer recently,
"but they have become quite favorite,
and are preferred to the Atlantic lob
sters. They are about IS per cent.
cheaper than those shipped from the
Atlantic fishing beds. Another point
In their favor is the extra amount of
meat they contain, the waste being
much less than in the eastern Holsters,
and the coral meat in the legs il of
much finer flavor and the shell covering
much easier broken than Il the shear
claw of the Atlantic lobster. For this
reason, those who are fond of the lob
ster, either plain or for salad, call for
the Bermudas. They are decidedly
more plentiful than the Atlantic
Holsters, and we have no trouble in
getting a liberal supply ct all seasons
Of the year, excepting possibly in the
months of October and November,
which are the stormy months on the
California coast. Their rapid rise In
public favor is shown from the fact
that our weekly shipments have i'm
creased from so to $50 pounds within
couple of months. They range in
weight from one to eight pounds. and
are mich more easily dressed than are
the Atlantic species. "-Kansas> City
