.CONTEMPT|BLE ACT
CAUSES HEAvA LOSS

One of the most contemplate, COW.
ardly acts ever committed in the state
is reported to have occurred recent
ly south of Carlin in the Bullion range.
Someone put out a lot of saltpeter and
poisoned several hundred sheep be.
longing TO Charles Mitchell. The
sheep were all fine bred animals and
were worth from 81 to So per head.
The financial loss is therefore great.
As Mr.. Mitchell is one of the best
citizens of the county, the reason for
this cowardly act is mystery.
1t is hoped that the guilty party may
be brought to justice. II he can be
located It is hoped that he will be
given the full penalty of the law and
then some. A dose of his own medi
cine might be the best treatment for
him.
