SHEEP TRAINED TO
KICK ROCK IN ROAD

Doc. Laughlin. who has been bos-
ing a bunch of sheep shearers at
Fletcher's for the past month is in
Yerington, says the Times. He re-
ports that seventy-five per cent of
this years lambs have persisted from
cold and scarcity of food.
Speaking of the roads. Doc. says
that the ordinary sheepherder will
go fourteen miles out of his way just
to drive his bunch over the county
roads, the consequence being that the
sheep trained to kick rocks into a
good stretch of road and hat the
rocks are becoming so accustomed
to it that when a band of sheep are
approaching they take time by the
forelock and just roll into the road.
And Doc, whose veracity is UNI
questioned, says these sheep and
rocks remind him of the time he was
driving a prairie schooner for George
Green. He says that there was one
old wagon that would begin to jump
whenever the leader stumbled over a
rock. One day the leader stepped
into a badger hole and the wagon
jumped SO hard that Doc was thrown
out and sustained a broken leg.

TELEPHONE To
PASS BAD CHECKS

Working a scheme hat is new in
Reno, but has been p~ractised success
fully in other cities, a bad check
artist took about 5000 away from four
Reno druggists and a butcher and
made his getaway" says the Gazette.
Reports of the fellows operations
soon as the checks distributed were
found to be worthless. Kirkley has
sent descriptions Of the man to sur
rounding towns asking that he be
arrested. The man gave his name
as Frank Finn and posed as a car
penter. His method of operating vas
to call up his intended victims, rep
resenting himself t. be a well-known
local contractor. He then would say
that a man in his employ, whose wife
was sick would call some time dur
ing the day, that he might present
a check given him by the contractor
and that it was safe to honor it. Finn
held conversations with five Reno
business men, giving a list of articles
he would need. In each instance the
order was prepared and when he APP
peared giving a check signed by the
local contractor he found no trouble
in getting the merchandise and his
change.
Investigations showed that Finn
never was employed by the contrac-
tor whom he pretended to represent
on the telephone.
