..Too Much Money KilIs Ram."

Springfield, o., Oct. 2S.-Frank
Wones, farmer, living at New Moor
field, was forced to kill fine buck
sheep today to get $3.50 which the
sheep had devoured. While passing
through the barnyard Mr.. Wones
dropped his pocketbook out of his
pocket. He discovered his loss about
an hour later, and returning to look
for 1t found few fragments on the
ground.
They showed plainly that they had
been chewed. The sheep was led to
the slaughter, the stomach carefully
removed and opened, and the money
in a number of pieces found He
brought them to the city and they
are being pasted together and will
be sent to the Treasury Department
to be redeemed.
Mr.. Wones was advised by an at
torney to kill the sheep if he ex-
pected to get any return for the
money. He also brought the dead
sheep with him and sold it to a
butcher for mutton.

time of the final end. He went to
bed Saturday complaining of feeling
i'll, but on Monday went out again,
and was about town late in the after
