Missing Herder Of

Deputy Sheriff Jess Brown
yesterday was investigating the
mysterious disappearance o f a
sheep herder employed by Hill &

who are operating two bands of
sheep on rented grazing land of
the Blackfeet reservation.
Since early this week one of
the bands, which is grazing on
Two Medicine Ridge, 10 miles
east of Browning, has been with
out a herder. the unusual cir
cumstance causing Ric h ar d
Grant. Sr,. who operates a band
on land adjoining the area under
lease of Hill & Flowers, to have
his herder, Joe Potts, make an
Investigation yesterday.
Potts discovered that Hill e.
Flowers sheep wagon had been
entirely destroyed by fire. Three
sheep dogs used by the herder
were also missing.
The sheep herder. whose name
the Chief did not learn. is said to
be an inexperienced hand. and is
from Washington.
The general theory is that he
abandoned the sheep, either
through dissatisfaction with the
Job or else may have suffered a
mental condition often times pc
culiar to the occupation and wan
dered away as to not realize his
moral responsibility to his en-
ployer.
