ever, did not deter Lee from following
his original plan. He was determined
that Pickett should make his grand as
sault. In preparation, Alexander, the
Confederate chief Of artillery, opened
with one long line of seventy-five
guns, while sixty-five of Hills guns
came into action on the left. Against
these the Federals, cramped for space,
could oppose but seventy-five, and the
hre OF these was soon stopped that
they might be held to meet the infan-
try attack.
Longstreet, still certain the result
could be only failure, could not bring
himself to order the advance, but
shortly before two in the afternoon
Pickett himself asked and obtained
permission to go forward.
There followed one Of the most des-
perate charges in history, beside
which, when one reckons in loss of
life, such an exploit as that of the
Light Brigade at Balaklava becomes
almost child's play. To reach the
Union line the Virginians had to cross
1.SOO yards Of ground swept by terri
BILE rifle and artillery fire. All three
Of Pickett's brigadiers went down. two
killed and one, Kemper, desperately
wounded. The Union troops. Gibbons
division and part of the Second
corps, all under Hancock. held un-
fiinchingly. Lieutenant Gushing, COM
manding a battery, held in his entrails
with one hand while with the other he
helped roll a gun into position, cry
ing out, "Give them one more shot,
Webb" The slaughter was fightful,
but the dauntless Virginians actually
broke Meade's first line before they
withered under the fearful fire and,
abandoned by their support, fell back.
Brigadier General Garnett, who had
leaped the wall with his hat on his
sword, died under a Union gun car
riage.
This ended the battle. Afterward
there was only a retreat which might
have been rout, had the Union troops
pressed their advantage or had Lee
been less prompt and skillful in raj
lying his men. The Confederates lost
10000 out of total approximating
$4,000. OF Pickett's division, which
charged $500 strong, 1898 were left
on the field. Mcade's losses were 3d.
600 out of $1,000. but the Confederacy
had attained its greatest success and
had seen that success wane into hope
less failure.

Town Burns; 1000 Sheep Poisoned.

Fairplay. Colo.-Five hundred of a
flock of 5000 sheep belonging to Har-
old Chambers of Hartzell were dead in
the pens Saturday morning when the
herders entered to care for them. Dur
ing the day about 500 more died, and
the evidence is that the animals were
poisoned Saturday night, after work
ing all day, the flock masters believed
they had overcome the epidemic and
will be able to save the others. Mr.
Chambers believes that the sheep
were poisoned. This is the third loss
Of the last two weeks. and has caused
considerable uneasiness. Friday night
Alma. a small mining town near here,
was almost destroyed by fire. Two
weeks ago the haystacks at a ranch
near this city were burned by fire
from a cigarette. and the owner be-
lieves the fire was started with intent
to destroy his hay and farm buildings.
These three losses are blamed upon
a coterie Of l. w. w. here, especially
as the owner of the farm property be-
lieves he has traced the destruction of
his hay to one Of them.

An Aerial Shepherd.

The gallant little republic Of Vene-
zuela, which may shortly come in on
the side of the allies, boasts OF re-
mnrkable bird which can be trained to
tend fiocks, says London Tit-Bits. Not
only does the yak-a-milk, as 1t is called.
take the place Of the sheep dog. but 1t
is frequently used to guard the home
of its owner.
When the Indians capture yak-a-
milk they find little difficulty in train
ing 1t to domestic use. 1t is attached
to the farmyard and performs the
same duties as faithful watchdog. A
yak-a-miik soon learns to know and
obey the voice Of its master. Its usual
gait Is slow and sedate, but sometimes
1t will execute most eccentric move
ments, waltzing and pirouetting in a
very absurd fashion. Instances are re-
corded where these strange birds have
defended their charges from attacks
of wild and savage animals. and even
driven them Off.
