FIERCE DUELS ON AN ISLAND
Thirty Thousand sheep and Goats
Fight Daily on San CIemente.

Mile after mile OF sheep ready for
shearing. not to mention mile after mile
Of goats for butting, was the sight that
greeted Supt thinner. of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty 10 Animals.
when he visited San Clemente. from
which island he returned recently, says
the Los Angeles Times. Next month the
sheep and the goats will be separated:
not in the old Biblical way. but in mod
ern style and after an exciting roundup.
San Clemente island is twenty-eight
miles long, and 10 Mr.. thinner II seemed
as II he saw twenty-eight miles of sheep.
He was not there on business, but as the
guest OF the owners Of the island, Robert
and Charles Rowland and Mrs. Rowland.
Where he couldn't see sheep he spied
goats. There are nearly 5000 Of the
former and 1900 OF the latter. The goats
arc an unmitigated nuisance, because
they kill so many sheep, and are being
hunted.
1t takes a long time to round up the
sheep Mr.. thinner says they seem TO
know when the attempt is 10 be made
Just now Il Is easy to get near them, but
as soon as they see n number OF horse
back riders and other indications that
they are about 10 lose their wool. they
get down into the gullles and hide, and
It takes strenuous efforts TO corral them.
Far wilder than the sheep are the
goats. They stay in the canyons and
usually won't mix with the former, but
when the fancy seizes them they charge
down on the flocks and butt the lambs
to death.
In formation the island is very like
the rolling country around San Pedro
1t is believed to have been the burial
ground of giant Indians who inhabited
this coast IN the early times. Mr.. Zim-
mer says that from a place 500 or 500 feet
square a number of skulls of the original
native sons have been taken. The indlca-
tions are that the giants were buried in
| rows.

E. P. LARNED GAINS TITLE

pion, to-day became Middle States
champion in singles by favor in the first
instance of Nathaniel w. Niles. of Har-
ward. and in the second By courtesy OF his
older brother. Bill
Niles obliged Z. p. Larned by playing
miserably poor match in the tourna-
Club which Edward won, 6-1, CO, 6-S.
Then the older brother defaulted the
challenge match, and so, at least, kept
the trophy and the title In the family.
William A. Larned last year won the
trophy outright, so that L. P.'s name
goes down first on a perfectly fresh cup.
Although Niles played poorly, indeed,
Larned was right on his game. The Har-
ward man made lots Of errors, losing
many points through double faults. The
last game Of the first set was played in
the beginning OF a shower.
The matches in the doubles left unfln-
ished on Thursday were completed to-
day. w. A. Larned and G. L. Wrenn, jr.,
got four games from w. r. Johnson and
