A Visit to BeauvOir.

Mr.. W. G. Vaught and family
have returned from Sea Shore
camp meeting. While there they
visited Beauvoir, the Soldiers
Home. He found about fifty in
mates of the home, all happy and
contented, presided over by Ma
jor Kent as superintendent, and
Mrs. Wallace as matron. Every.
thing is kept neat and clean.
They have fine cook and plenty
to eat. One thing that struck Mr..
Vaught's attention was an i'm
mense range, almost as large as q
small kitchen. This was donated
by the Charter Oak Store Compa-
ny, which has for its president a
former major in the Union Army.
A chapter of the U. D. G. in Cal
ifornia, has a room in the home,
which they propose to furnish.
When the inmates of the home
learned that there were some mem
bers of the Magnolia Chapter q.
D. G. present, they did them the
honor of asking an introduction
and thanked them in person for
past kindness, stating that this
chapter was second to none in the
State for donation. They have
recently built a home for poor
widows of Confederate Veterans
and made other substantial i'm.
provements. The party was de-
lighted with their visit and the
way in which the home is kept.

CONNECTS SHOT DOWN..
Three Killed and the Same Number
Fatally Wounded.

Fatally Wounded.
Folsom, CAL, Dec. 30.-Seven of nine
convlcts at the state prison who made
q break for liberty were almost riddled
with bullets, three being dead and
three in a critical condition. Captain
X. }. Murphy, a prison official, is
wounded by a shot in the leg and two
slight knife wounds.
The %cOnvicts who engaged in the
break were all employed in the rock
crusher, where 1926 Of the most des-
perate prisoners were at work. A
large sledge hammer was thrown into
the crusher, causing the p%onderous
machine to come to a %standstill. This
attracted Captain Murphy, Charles
Jolly and Charles l.. Taylor to the
place Immediately.
Thereupon the desperate convicts
rushed to seize Murphy, Jolly anG
Taylor. They succeeded in catching
the two first named. The convicts.
with their captives, made their way
toward a small post commanded by
Guard w. Fl. Harris, who was armed
with a rifle.
They no one stepped into the
open than the seven guards com.
menced firing and within twenty sec
onds fully 100 shots had been fired
and seven convicts were or the ground
helpless. The rest were secured. The
dead are:
H. G. Hill, under sentence Of thirty.
six years for robbery: j. Quinlan.
serving twelve years for robbery; w.
Morales, under sentence for robbery.
The following injured will probably
die: D. Kelly, serving eight years for
robbery; p. Queyada and w. P. Enley,
life sentence for murder.

HISTORY OF SHEEP.
Associated With Mankind r tn
Earliest now Days.

Associated With Mankind From the
Earliest Known Days.
OF all domesticated animals the
sheep has from time immemorial been
most closely associated with mankind,
writes R. Henry Rev in Outing. An
erudite author sixty years ago, having
laboriously collated an assortment Of
illusions to sheep made by sacred and
profane writer's, concluded that 1.-The
history Of these animals Is 80 inter
woven with the history Of. man that
they never existed in a wild state at
Ill. Biblical history from the time Of
Abel is full of illusions to the 6ocks
which formed the chief possessions Of
the Jewish people and their neighbor1.
The .spoils Of war and the tribute Of
vassal kings largely consisted Of sheep.
Thus we read that Mesha, king Of
Moab, was a sheep master and render.
ed unto the king Of Israel a hundred
thousand lambs and a hundred thou
sand rams with the wool. Moses after
bis victory over the Midianites obtain
ed as loot no less than 675,OOO sheep,
and long before the Christian era sheep
were cultivated in western Europe.
Spain and Italy possessed them from
an unknown period, although long after
Rome was founded the Inhabitants had
not learned to sheer the fleece, and un-
til the time of Pliny the practice Of
plucking it from the skin was not Who'll
" abandoned, SO long that the humble
shepherds Of Syria preceded In their
knowledge of necessary arts the future
conquerors Of their country.
