system, solemn goats with long
white boards act the part of Judas,
Turing unsuspecting sheep to their
doom. Little did the grave members
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion think when they made a ruling
that live stock en- route from the great
western ranges to the packing houses
along the Missouri river, should not
be kept aboard railroad trains for
more than % consecutive hours, but
that, at the expiration of that period,
the animals should be taken from the
cars and given water and provender
that the ruling would be responsible
for the creation of a band of goats
trained to ingratiate themselves into
the confidence of innocent little lambs,
matronly ewes and stately rams and
bring these down to their death.
But such is the case. And the Union
Pacific railroad has a flock Of goats.
each individual member of which
can do better work along the
lines for which it is trained than half
a dozen men could do in twice the
time.
When the 28-hour law went into
effect the Union Pacific railroad found
it necessary to build big feeding yards
at numerous points along its line-in
fact, these yards we're installed about
every rs miles from end to end of the
big system. During the shipping sea-
son that railroad brings hundreds of
thousands of sheep from the great
ranges of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah.
Idaho, Oregon, Montana, California
and the southwestern states to the
packing houses at Omaha. Under the
new law 1t was necessary that these
sheep be unloaded, fed and watered,
and then reloaded every 20 hours.
Those men who have ever attempt
ed to drive sheep will remember how
difficult the task is, especially to get
the animals headed in the right direc-
ton. las timid as a sheep" is a
proverb, and its truth is proven every
day and every hour wherever sheep
are handled.
If the sheep are in the stock ears
1t is a big job to get them out. Efforts
of the attendants to get them to leave
the cars usually result in the whole
bunch crowding up in one end and re.
fusing to go out the door. Sometimes
1t was even necessary that each indi-
vidual sheep be actually lifted up and
taken from the car.
And sometimes this 2S-hour limit
expired In the dead ofgnight, when the
sheep were all lying asleep on the
floor of the car. At such times it was
almost impossible to unload except by
the hand" method. At times half an
hour was consumed In unloading a sin
gle car.
After the sheep were fed and wa
tered came the reloading, and again
there was trouble, almost as much as
when unloading.
The railroad found it necessary to
maintain a large force of men at
each feeding station, it being found
more economic to do this than to
spend hours and hours loading and
unloading a train. This cost money,
and lots Of 1t, but there seemed no
means Of avoiding the expense. There
stood the United States courts ready
to inilict a 500 fine every time a car
Of sheep was not fed and watered
every 2S hours. Employing the men
was cheaper than fines.

Fred Ramsey Sells His Fruit Ranch in

A deal of moro than ordinary i'm
portance was consummated this week
when Fred Ramsey sold his fine fruit
farm four miles south of Hagerman,
to P. S. A. Bickel
This is one of the best places in the
valley and while it is quite a good
sized farm, there is only about forty
acres that can be cultivated, thus max

The success of Mr.. Ramsey is but
another Illustration of the possibili-
ties of southern Idaho Six years ago
Mr.. Ramsey came to Idaho from Pue-
bio, Colo. He has never had any ex-
perience in farming, but this country
looked good to him and he located a
homestead over on the South Side. He
improved it and in four years sold it
for $4,000. He came to Hagerman
and bought the place he has just sold
for $4,000 and now after owning it
but two years he has sold it for $1S,-
900. His success has been very gra-
tifying to his friends as well as to
himself and while we hate to lose
him, we are glad to know that he has

SUICIDE IN A
LONELY TENT
t. ". Haley Evidently Victim Of
His Own Gun.
FOUND DEAD THIS MORNING
ABOVE HIGH LINE CANAL.
Coroner Walker Decides that No
Inquest Is Necessary Over the
Remains.

When John Williamson, employed in
grubbing for E. W. Haley just beyond
the High Line canal, returned to work
this morning after spending the night
in town, he found his employer lying
across a grain sack, stone dead, with
a pistol lying near him and bullet
hole near his heart. Startled by the
sight Mr.. Williams Immediately re-
turned to town and informed Coroner
Walker and Sheriff Dyer, who imme-
diately accompanied him to the scene
of the tragedy, lonely tent beyond
the High Line canal on the road south
along the section line, where Haley
was preparing to clear his field.
Investigation by the officials of the
scene of the fatality and of the men
concerned, developed the fact that
kaley had committed suicide from dis
pondency, apparently. The bullet had
pierced the breast above the heart and
the gun had been held SO close that
impression Of the gun barrel could
be readily seen on the flesh surround
ing the wound. The revolver was ly-
ing on sack within few inches OF
his right hand where it had evidently
fallen when the victim toppled back
ward across the grain sacks.
Examination of the revolver, 49,
| calibre, showed that one shell ha0
been fired while two other chambers
were still loaded.
1 Examination of Williamson, George
Ball, G. Vanlnlader and ]. r. Brown
brought out the fact that no one ha(
seen Kaley after.six o'clock last nigh
and it is thought that the shooting oc
Cured about ten o'clock. Williamson
gave the only inkling as to the caus'
of the suicide in his testimony, whei
he said that Haley ahd been gloom,
before he left and had said prett,
strong things about the desolate coun
try.

A premature explosion of giant pow
der at the rock crusher owned and OPP
Grated by the Warren Construction
company caused the death of three
men and the severe injury of seven
others early Tuesday morning. The
men in the accident were all Greeks,
and owing to the death Of the two men
doing the loading accurate informa-
tion was impossible to obtain. How
ever, it seems that the two men,
John Grevins and Peter Latts were do
ing their usual work of loading and
tamping the charges preparatory to
getting out rock for the crusher, and
accidently hit the charge harder than
usual, exploding it.
Grevins and Latts were killed in
stantly but died after removal to the
morgue. Grevins, who is the foreman
and also interpreter had his neck
broken and Latts was hurled 40 feet
and struck against one of the ma
chimes on the crusher. His back and
right leg were broken. Alex Bokus,
some distance away, was struck by a
stone and instantly killed.
