Midnight Bolt Kills
S~heepherder in Tepee

Charles B. Shrewsbury, who was
employed herding sheep for G. @.
Russell, was killed by lightning in
his tepee on the summit of the Cop
per mountain range above the head
of Antelope creek in a violent rain
and electrical storm that ragged there
about midnight of Saturday. The
fact that the dead mans watch
was stopped at 12:45 is taken to in
dictate that the fatal bolt struck at
that time Sunday morning. That
part of the mountain is highly miner
allied and is subject to violent lee
trical disturbances.
The body, which was in bed when
found, was covered with burns and
blisters in many places and was
blotched all over with black and blue
marks, but the skin was broken in
only n OF two places. A mass of
burned black hair on the dead mans
shoulder seemed to indicate that his
dog was lying by his side when the
tightening struck, but by some freak
of the current the animals body was
thrown clear outside the tepee, which
was badly torn where the bolt entered
and emerged. A range horse about
three hundred yards away and three
others half a mile away were killed.
Shrewsbury's horse was not killed
but was SC badly checked that he
seemed crazy wild when found
The band of sheep must have left
the background and headed down the
mountain before the climax of the
storm, for not one was killed.
Sunday a herder with the Moore
outfit had to turn the Russell sheep
back from mixing with his own. As
there was no herder with the Russell
sheep a man from the Moore camps
Investigated and discovered what had
happened, reporting the matter to
the authorities.

Arrangements Made for Stockhold-

MEXICO CITY. July 27.-The min
utes of the conference between the
United States and Mexican recog
milton commissioners are being held
open to include notations on the
claims conventions. which will EN-
brace expressions from both govern
ments of intentions to sign the con-
ventions after recognition is accorded
Mexico by the United States.
The biggest stumbling block in the
mixed claims deadlock, which was
broken yesterday, was the opposition
of the Mexican delegates to the
American contention of the privilege
Mexican corporations to file claims
against Mexico with the mixed com
mission for damages caused by the
agsarian and other Mexican policies
The agreement finally reached, II
is understood, meets the Mexican OBJ
lection that Mexican subjects might
take advantage of this privilege and
through devious means obtain the
presentation of their own claims
through United States shareholders.
An early adjournment of the con-
ference is not expected at this time
because the American delegates must
await the approval of the State De-
partment at Washington of the text
of the mixed claims convention.
