THAT SLAUGHTER OF SHEEP
Saved About One Thousand
Pelts.

j. S. Elder, W. NJ Marsters, Clyde
Hartlerode and Chas. Bacrrus have
returned from Christmas lake, where
they went to skin sheep. They only
succeeded in saving about 1000 pelts,
as some of the sheep had been torn by
coyotes and others covered with snow
and could not be found. The boys
think the number of sheep killed has
been overestimated.
After three days travel by way of
Thousand springs, Christmas lake and
the old Yreka trail, we were COM
fortably located miles northwest of
Christmas lake and 20 miles north of
Silver lake, near a small butte sur
rounded for miles by juniper timber.
This butte is very rough and rocky
with small canyons in which the
sheep were cornered and Stayed by the
hundreds. Most of the 1000 or possi-
bly, 1900 were shot.
Clubs of juniper were also used,
cut from the nearby trees, the AK
used in cutting having been stolen
from the sheep camp These clubs
were about four feet long and four
inches at the big end, the bark all be-
ing worn OF from violent use. As
many as eight or 10 clubs were found.
The first place sheep were killed
was the extreme southern part of the
butte at which place about 80 were
in one pile on about one-half acre of
ground.
Sheep were scattered promiscously
for the next quarter Of a mile north,
when suddenly one comes upon pile
of about 600 on loss than one acre,
then within 100 feet, just over a
small rimrock, another lot of 200 or
300 are scattered for 200 yards to the
herders camp ground. at the point
where the massacre started. Here
were about 60 which never got off the
6round.
The herdor was visited by one of the
men just at dark and told to stay in
his tent till daylight the next morn .
ing when he could start for Silver
lake. The ammunition belonging to
the sheep camp had been stolen some
days previous to the awful work
such no man can imagine unless he
could see.
Many of the sheep were only Grip
pied, having their legs broken.
Most of these were killed by the
owners two days after the slaughter.
Many of tie sheep were torn pretty
badly by coyotes, thousands of which
are in evidence Paisley Post.

HAY FAMINE IN KLAMATH OLD MAN-OF-WARS MAN
Causing Heavy Loss TO Stock
Owners.

Reports from Klamath county are
to the effect that the hay famine has
reached the expected crisis and that
those without hay who we're unable
to sell or get their livestock out of
the country are now seeing them die
off.
A man who two weeks ago drove a
band Of horses from Langell valley to
Bonanza-a distance of IL miles
counted the carcasses of 100 horses
that had starved to death. A private
letter received this week in Ashland
detailed u number of owners who
were losing horses rapidly. The
weather since the first Of January has
been quite severe and is such as to
hasten the death rate.
Hay has reached $40 per ton but
there is not enough to feed all the
stock and the continuous stormy
weather is adding to the death rate.
The Indians will also prove heavy
losers as their sour grass hay-not
very nourishing at best-is extremely
short.
Should the stormy weather con-
tinue, the number Of dead horses
alone may reach 1000 or 1900. Valley

MOTHERS MEETING HELD
Quite o Gathering at the East
School Building

The mothers meeting held at the East
school building Wednesday, Feb. oath,
was the first ola series planned by a
committee from the Women's Club Of
this city to be held at intervals during
the spring term at the several depart
ments OF our public schools. About 30
of the mothers were present and partici-
pated in discussion Of the subject of
"punctuality."
A continuation OF these meetings can
not fail to have salutary influence on
all concerned; and will in time, as the
meetings become well organized, and
teachers and parents become acquainted
with each others methods, each taking
up the thread of discipline and charac-
ter-building where the other leaves of,
and with the assurance Of each other 6
sympathy and encouragement, bear rich
fruit.
No formal program was adhered to
for the first afternoon. Superintendent
Young welcomed the mothers and as
sured them Of the appreciation and
pleasure felt by the teachers at their
presence, and the interest and sym
pathy manifested as to their efforts on
behalf Of the children. He also gave
them pertinent illustration OF the APP
parent lack Of interest frequently shown
by parents as to the school life of their
children; too often allowing 1t TO be
entirely secondary to social and business
life. For instance, we would not for an
instant entrust our household duties

ness, even the stock on our farms, TO the

Mrs. Roy Wilson favored the meeting
with either solo, after which the teach

instilling that principle, the bearing
that such principles have on success il
life, and the responsibility that parents
and teachers mutually sustain In th'
