Dogs Kill so Sheep
Fifty sheep died and 13 were in
iured last Wednesday forenoon when
dogs got into a flock of 81 Shrop-
shire sheep owned by Francis Marsh
all. Thirty-two ewes and eighteen
lambs died while ten more ewes and
three more lambs are injured and
some of those may not live.
The flock was on pasture around
the sheep barn and when attacked
many ran into the barn where they
fell easy prey for the dogs. One
little lamb saved it's life by squeez-
ing through the lattice and got
under the porch at the Maynard
Steiner home. Neither Mrs. Steiner
nor Mrs. Marshall were at home at
the time and Mr.. Marshall was
plowing in a field some distance
from the barn.
