DYNAMITE KILLS 100 SHEEP.
Herder Says Masked Men Bound Him
and Did the Work.

Cheyenne. Wyo.-An explosion of
dynamite at John Inns sheep camp
in Trapper Creek, Big Horn county,
killed 700 sheep and completely de-
stroyed camp wagons and other pos
sessions of the camp. The story of
the outrage was told by a herder, who
said that a band of masked men raid
ed the camp and. after binding him Sc
curely, arranged for the work of de-
struction. A similar attack was made
upon a sheep camp in the Trapper
Creek section two years ago.

PEARY SHY FUNDS
MAY HAVE TO ABANDON DASH TO
THE NORTH POLE.
ASKS ASSISTANCE FROM PUBLIC
Believes Money Could Be Raised by
School Children or Patriotic
Subscription.

New York-Lack of money-about
$50, 000--to finance the expedition
may mean the abandonment OF the
dash to the north pole which Com
mander Robert E. Peary has planned
for this summer. The explorer, who
has earned the distinction of having
reached "the farthest north" and who
may truly be said to live for the pur.
pose of revealing to the world the
mysteries of the pole itself, is deeply
downcast at the possibility that he
may not be able to try again.
This is a work which l must do,
a work, a great work-for which
vas intended" said Commander Peary
to a representative oil the press. He
was not boastful, but modest in man.
ner, and with the simplicity of speech
of a man convinced that he was born
for this great purpose, and that he
must accomplish it. And with a con.
fdence that his work must be helped
from somewhere, he added:
The money will come; somehow
feel certain of that. But If l was only
dSSuTcu uOW, Wudt d Tellcl IL Wouiu ne,
and how l could concentrate all my
energies on the details of the expedi-
ton.
Remember, we were but liza nauti-
cal miles from the goal on our last
trip. 1t would be a pity, indeed, If We
could not try again."
Expedition Needs $4,000.
Peary wants to start from New York
the latter part of June. His ship, the
Roosevelt, which proved her worth on
the last expeditio mis- now being pre-
pared for the next attack on the north
ern ice fields. But the greater part
of the $4,000 already subscribed will
be spent in repairing the boat, and
100000 more will be needed for gen.
eral expenses. The Peary Arctic club,
of which Morris K. Jesup is president,
is caring largely for the refitting of the
Roosevelt, and it has issued an appeal
for contributions from the people of
the United States, so hat a total Of
500, 900 may be raised.
