Camp Went up
in Smoke
McCuIlough Has a Streak
of Bad Luck on His
Way to Market
With Sheep.
A. II. Harnum, who has leen with J.
IJ. Mcl'ullouh, apfcistinK him in driving
3, (XX) iniittoti theep from Lake county to
the railroad, returned to Lakeview la-t
Thursday thorough! disgusted with his
trip. I'arnum acted in the capacity of
driver, while MeCullough, who pur
chased the fcheep here this summer, was
camp tender. They reached the lower
end of the lake, at the Ituer reservoir,
below Alturas, on the 10th inst., having
!een without water for three days at a
time during the trip. On that date
I'arnum went out in the morning to
round up the sheep, having set fire to a
tree at camp the night previous; Me
Cullough assisting in the round-up,
when suddenly their attention wim at
tracted to a terrible fusilade of shots.
They rushed hack to camp and found
the tent and everything the camp con
tained a mass of flames, having caught
from the burning tree. The tiring was
ausi'd from the Winchester rifle arI
pistol cartridges exploding. (Jims, am
munition, bedding, provisions and the
complete outfit was totally destroyed.
The worst of it was, they were far from
any place where they could restock the
larder, but, fortunately, found a neigh
Injr who let them hav a small piece of
bacon, com for one day and a small
amount of flour. They managed to gt
along with these scant rations for three
days, when they reached a place to pur-'
chase supplies.
The trip wa most unfortunate in
every respect. Out of the band of 3,000,
fine mutton the coyotes killed about 100;
head. The heep al-o suffered for want j
of water, and the -feed was scant, liar-
num says the coyotes were almost as i
thick as flies, and were so poor and !
hungry that they would run in and '
kill sheep after sheep before they could I
le driven off. He says there was no
use trying to kill the ravenous animals !
with a gun they were so thin that!
they would snlit a bullet. I
