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, 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-
leves 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.
