More Visitors Have Already Toured
Yellowstone Up to August First
Than Entire 1925 Season

That the 1926 tourist season is
running true to form, and hat a
substantial increase in the travel
to Yellowstone park will be shown
over the figures compiled last year
is evidenced by the fact that al
ready this yea more people have
visited natures greatest wonderland
Yellowstone National park, than
during the entire 1925 season.
The Cody-way or Eastern En-
trance to the park, via Cody, is
well ahead in motor travel, 1881

year rs against 4,S74 cars with
1871 passengers for the Gardiner
or north entrance; 7,737 cars with
25,97S passengers through the west
or Yellowstone entrance and 2,125
cars with 6,S26 passengers via the
southern entrance. A total of 3d.
-es7 cars with 1880 passengers
had toured the park up until the
first of August.
The rail travel, via the eastern

BOLT OF LIGHTNING
KILLS ENTIRE FLOCK
OF SHEEP In GULCH

Probably the heaviest loss eve
sustained by a Montana flockmaster
through a lightning flash occurred
during the recent electrical storm.
M. P. Dryden, whose home is
near Divide, drove a band of 1875
head of sheep into German gulch
just before the storm broke. The
sheep huddled together as is the
custom of such animals during a
weather disturbance.
Suddenly there was a vivid, spear
like flash of lightning, accompanied
by a terrific roar of thunder and
the flock went down like ten-pins.
The owner and his herder APP
preached the animals, expecting to
find some casualties.
They found that the entire 1875
sheep had been killed by the single
bolt-and some of the animals had
their heads torn from their bodies.
The occurrence is said to be with
out parallel, in Montana at least.

Ia perfect right to place a sign at

"Of the "a deaths occurring in
