CONCHO SHEEP CLEAN.
DR.. G. w. Browning, the Govern
ment Inspector, Gives Or
Sheep a Good Name.

A PRESS man, IN recent con-
versation with DR.. Browning, the
government sheep Inspector at
this point, heard him say some
mighty nice things about the
straight ways of Concho Country
shippers and the clean condition
of the sheep they bring in for
transportation to the great mar
kets. The shippers, Dr.. Browning
said, gave every evidence of II de-
sire to comply ill.,. ".tA all the
regulations ami with every requir-
ment, down to the mlnutest,
Last year he was Obliged, in the
conscientious discharge of his
duty, to turn down a few sheep,
slightly infected with the arts
scabis, but it was quite apparent
that they were there through over
sight and, perhaps, a little care
lessuess in dipping. The expert
ence however, seems to have had n
good effect, for so far, this season,
he has not discarded-and he is q
searcher of most close scrutiny
a single scabby forlorn sheep. 1t
proves that dipping has been most
carefully conducted and not the
least vestige of the scab mite or
its ravages remaining.
This is quite in glaring contrast
to the doctors experience else
where, where he says deliberate
attempts have been made to run
in sheep that had been turned
back by him, without redipping.
Such reputation as Concho
Country sheep now enjoy in the
markets for cleanliness and health,
must rebound to their shippers
interests in increased prices, for
packers are quick to discount
sheep from localities which have
an unsavory reputation.

ard Bard, whose experience during
the French and English war ID
I7S6-I76o was as thrilling as any

living near Fort Duquesne, where
Pittsburg now stands, his home was
attacked by Indians. His babys
brains were dashed out against Q
tree and his wife was carried off by
one band OF Indians, while he was
taken away in another direction.
His captors painted one side Of his
face, which meant that there was a
division of sentiment as to whether
he should live or die. During the
night he crawled into a hollow log,
and afterward escaped, travelling
many weary and dangerous miles
until he reached the nearest Eng
lish settlement. For three years he
searched for his wife, finally locat-

securing her ransom for 5000. A
few years later two boys were born
to them. One was the grandfather
of Congressman Darragh. The
other was the grandfather OF Sena-
tor Bard.
