The greatest industry of Australia is
sheep raising. mainly for the sake of
the wool, but also in part, of course,
for the meat. Australia now ranks
second among the great sheep-raising
countries. Argentina being first with
$4,000, 900 sheep, Australia :iecond with
100000 and Russia third with 10
100000. Only few years ago Aus
tralia was first, possessing no less
than lot. 100000 head of sheep. That
was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were
the cause of the destruction of many
millions Of Australian sheep, but since
1902 there has been an annual gain.
Yet these sheep were not indigenous
to Australia. They were first intro
duced in 1897. being OF the Spanish
merino species.

DEATH MYSTERY
WAS UNKNOWN MAN MURDERED
OR KILLED BY ACCIDENT7
QUESTION is CONFUSING
the Railroad Track at Brush Per-
picking Fort Morgan SIeuths.

Brush, Colo.-It is now believed by
the court police that the unknown man
found dead on the Burlington tracks
with bullet in his head, and whose
body was run over by train Friday
night. was murdered by his pal. The
victim is known by the officers to have
come into Brush with a partner, and
is said to have left the place in COM
pany with the same man. All efforts
have proved unavailing to learn the
identity Of either, and the mystery of
the case is growing deeper.
Sheriff Burdette at Fort Morgan is
making every effort to get the corpse
identified.
Since the inquest was held persons
have stated that they saw the muir
dered man and another start up the
railroad track together. This is the
last time the barber was seen alive,
and it is believed that if his compan-
ion was not the actual slayer that he
has knowledge OF the crime.
The victim is known to have had
in his possession a nickel-plated
mounted revolver. When he went to
work in The barber shop here he took
1t out of his pocket and placed it in
drawer. On the body of the dead man
was found an old bue-barreled gun
with three loaded cartridges. The
theory of the officers is that the muir
derer, after taking the nickei-plated
gun out OF the dead mans clothes, sub
stituted The gun which was found on
his person.
The dead man told at The barber
shop. where he worked for two hours,
that he sent his clothes from Julesburg
to Denver, and that his partner had
done the same. From this statement
ii is believed thai the man and his part
ner came from Julesburg and were on
their way to Denver, stopping off at
Brush to earn n little money. 1t was
testified by boy at the inquest that
two men had been thrown off a Bur
lington rain. ana that he saw them
wander down the track together.
motive for the crime. the police
say, is hard to conceive. They believe
The two men started to walk along the
track preparatory to stealing IA ride on
a freight train: that they uuarreled
and that the shooting followed. Then
in order 10 hide the crime. the body
was placed on the track with the hope
of concelling the murder.

When the bedroom becomes a sick
