and moved away. The information

his identity. His army experience
had so changed him that no one rec

a farm, and for three years suffered
in silence the agony that gnawed at
his heart. His. whom he might have
claimed, lived but few miles away,
mourning him as dead.
She and her second husband often
drove past the farm. and Jackson,
believing he was guarding her hap

treachery was responsible for the sit

died. Still Jackson, believing his

One day Mrs. Hopkins came to
Hermosa to buy supplies. They met
face to face. and in a flash the wife
recognized the man she believed ly-

when she recovered consciousness a
few words sufficed. Now Jackson
says he is the happiest man on earth.
The wedding followed and for the

OUTLAW MCKINNEY KILLED.

He Mortally wounds Two Officers.

April 20 says: The desperado. Jim Nc
Kinney, who terrorized this valley for
months last year, and who had been
chased clear across Arizona and back into
his old haunts in this city, was cornered
in a Chinese joss house here to-day, and
after q desperate fight MAS killed, with
his gun in his hand. Mckinney had
often boosted that he would rival Outlaw
Tracey, and that he would never sur
render to the officers Of the law. He
certainly showed the same desperate
courage as Tracey, and he was equally
handy with rifle or shotgun. Before he
fell in his tracks he MORALLY wounded
Deputy Sheriff w. E. Tibbett and badly
injured City Marshal Packard, both Of
whom have since died. The fight &C.
Cured within a block of the business
center of Bakersfield, and created the
greatest excitement.

The condition Of the sheep industry in
some parts Of Utah, Idaho and Eastern
Nevada may well cause alarm among
hockmssters. says the Salt Lake Herald.
The deadly disease known as ~osteosar-
coma or 'big head" has made its sp-
pesrancs among the animals. and the re-
suit is that they are dying by hundreds,
in some cases by the thousand. Coming,
as it does. on the heels of q particularly
hard, cold Winter, the outlook for the
~sheepmen is decidedly discouraging.
big head" is malsdy that. FORUM
ately, does not make it's appearance very
| often. As its scientific name indicates,
it is q lumpy, humorous growth which
appears about the head and neck OF the
afflicted animal, spreading down into the
legs and eventually running into necrosis.
with results that are invariably fatal.
| By some authorities the disease is said to
be highly contagious, while others con-
tend that it cannot be communicated
iEOul Ouc tuctp w huOhucfs
The safest plan, when the men who
are supposed to know differ, is to quar-
antine the infected bands. The moment
q sheep shows signs Of osteosarcoma it
should be segregated from the rest and
kept segregated until death ends its suf-
ferings. We are told that healthy sheep
are not so likely to be attacked as those
that are not healthy. This is accounted for
by the fact that the disease is an out
growth Of impoverished blood.
That accounts for its appearance at this
time. The sheep, except those that have
had specially favored ranges, have been
subjected to many unusual hardships
during the Winter just ended. The
weather has been cold, the snow has
been deep and the ranges poor. Animals
that survived the snow and the storms,
the cold and the lack Of ~sustenance are
in no condition to withstand the ravages
OF 'big head"
Those attacked by it succumb within
a few hours. The veterinarians who
consider it contagious would seem to
have the better OF the argument. for the
reason that there are few instances where,
unless diligent precautionary measures
we're taken, only a small percentage oil
the hocks in which the disease gets q
foothold die.
By diligence now sheepmen may be
able to save a fair percentage of their in
vestment, but unless they act promtly
they are likely, according to reports, te
lose all.
