Lost Animals are Worth Approx
matciy Two Thousand Dollars.

What careless Umatllla county
sheepherder lost 700 head of ewes.
lambs and wethers while coming
home from the summer range this
fall? A band of that size has been
found near Unity. in southern Baker
county, and the finder believing them
to be Umatilla county sheep, has
written to find the owner.
This morning a letter was received
by the First National bank from f. B.
Carlisle OF Unity. The letter states
that he has found 700 head of sheep
and that they are from band from
this county.
According to the description given
the lambs are branded with a blotch
upon the back and on the hip; ewes,
branded with blotch upon back; eve
lambs with slope on ear and wether
lambs with a split in the ear.
Inquiries made today among local
sheepmen failed to throw any light
upon the subject Though small
losses were had by Umatilla county
growers this summer none suffered
anything like the loss of 700 head, so
they say.
The only heavy loss reported from
anywhere in this section is the loss
of 225 head by the Nunamaker sheep
company of Morrow county. But ac-
cording to the advertisement of that
company their lost sheep were brand
ed a upon the back and had aluminium
tags in the ears.
Figured at the going price of sheep
at this time the band now held at
Unity awaiting an owner is valued at
$1,000 or more
