STORM FOLLOWING

SHEEP BANDS TO DIE
HemOrrhage Specticemia Set in
Among 500 Animals Dead
at HarlOwtOn.

Helena, July 9.--Failure to temper
the wind TO the shorn lamb is declared
by veterinarians to have been respon-
sble for the death of several hundred
sheep near Harlowton. Hemorrhagic
septicemia broke out there when the
sheep were being sheared and a severe
storm Immediately followed lowering the
vitality of the sheep The spread of the
disease was rapid and fatal. according
to DIR. /. Wallman. United States veter-
mary inspector, who has reported to DIR.
Rudolph Snyder. in charge Of the federal
bureau of animal industry in Montana
Thousands of sheep were sheared at
one pen, DIR. Mailman reports, and it is
possible some infected animal started the
disease then. It's effect is illustrated
he says, by the condition of one flock
of 100 owned by Senator b. c. White
of Buffalo. Eighty of these were dead
when DIR. Mailman arrived, and 100
others were sick. Percentage of deaths
is very high and often infected animals
are killed to prevent further spread.
All sheep which show evidence Of the
disease have been isolated. DR.. Wall
man says, and others are being vac
cinated.
Hemorrhngic septiccmia is the disease
which killed many buffalo in Yellowstone
park last winter.

to Fly Over London if
Winds Permit.
Mineola, N. ", July 9.-The
British diriaibIe R-34 left Roose-

on her return cruise to Scotland.

The great ship, held in leash by 1000
11:iJ o'clock and floated leisurely up
to height of 200 feet with her motors
silent. The motors then began to whirr
and the craft, nosing upward. headed for
New York
Three great searcblights playing on
the ship made her clearly discernable to
the thousands who had gathered to bid
her bon voyage
Favorable weather conditions were re-
ported over the entire route save for
one bad spot in mid Atlantic, and San
immediate start was urged by the
weather service
Forty pounds of official mail is stow

mander of the dirigible, declared that
he would fly over New York and--if
favorable winds on the other side Of

journey to East Fortune Scotland.
The climatic conditions over the
Atlantic are very bad for flying in ships
like the R-34. Although the R-34 has
more than justified our hopes. trans
Atlantic flying in the future must be
done in larger and faster ships"
