OSLO. Norway, May 25. A dis
patch from Spitsbergen to the
Shipping Gazette says no news has
been received regarding the Amud
scn polar flight expedition up to
2 o'clock this morning.
Tho dispatch reads: "As lute, as
2 a. in. today there was no news
of Amudsen. Tho Hobby (ono of
the expedition's steamers) has re
turned to Wellman Bay, having
patrolled north and .east of Danc'8
island. Sho found leu conditions
difficult."
The dispatch added that "among
members of tho expedition a cer.
tuln amount or depression prevailed
because of Aiuudscn's non-uppear-
anco. If their flying boats were
dnmaged the members of tho ex
pedition will have a long and
dangerous Journey. "' ;; r
"The weather is now cloudy with
a raw temperature whlcti has
dropped to below zero, " .
"Krom the top of Amsterdam
island, the captain of tho Farm saw
open Water to the northward where
tho machines might have de
scended." NEW YORK. May 25. Mingled
expressions of pessimism and opti
mism aro voiced by explorers and
aviators here regarding tho fate
of tho Amundson-Ellsworth expedi
tion. The Norwegian explorer, his
American backer and their four
companions have not been heard
from since they left Spitrbcrgon for
tho pole in two airplanes Thursday
night.
Persons most familiar with Cap
tain Amudsen and polar exploration
scon nothing nlurming in his fail
ure to return to his' base In 24
hours ns originally planned. Early
Hossman, a foreigner wto lived ln
Amundsen's supply hut at Wain
wrlght, Alaska, thought that
Amundsen's thoroughness was prob
ably responsible for tho delay.
"If ho has found a new conti
nent he will bag it so thoroughly
that nobody will be able to ques
tion it," Kossmnn said.
Fear Injury
Others feared a forced landing,
injury to cither tho planes or men
or both, or some accident in either
landing or taking oft for the re
turn. It was pointed out, how
ever, that tho expedition carried
sufficient food for a month and
that at tho expiration of that time
tho party should bo .in territory
where it could kill northern game.
Hlfles und ammunition for this
contingency were carried in the
planes. ,
Vernon S. Prentice, brother-in-law
of Lincoln Kllsworth, believed
the planes would land In Alaska.
Mr. Prendre said ho felt no con
cern because of the delay and that
ho expected no word until tomor
row. Amundsen's duslro to find
new. lands would probably .lead
him to steer for Alaska,' Mr.
Prentice said.
l)oubt Is Voiced
This view was shared Vilhjulmar
Stofnnsson nnd other explorors, al
though dispatches from Nomo threw
doubt on the probability of Amund
sen's aiming for the American
peninsula. -
No concerted plans for a relief
party have been mnilu hut the

Tragic Battle Over Black Sheep on Sheep Range ,
of Eastern Klamath Results in Death of
One County Authorities Investigate
In one of the most isolated sections of Klamath-.,
The Devil's Garden country and with no witnesses to
the combat but a few lizzards and perhaps a stray bird,
Frank Way and Timothy Murphy, both sheep operators
met in fistic combat Saturday morning, over the owner- -ship
of a black sheep, which resulted in the death
yesterday of Murphy, from a fractured skull.
Alone in a desolate broken country, the two men
met on equal terms and on rough, rocky ground fought
to the end, according to authorities.
Grim coincidence of the tragedy was the fact that
the immediate cause of the fight was a black sheep,
which , jis superstitiously regarded on a par with Friday
the 13j and other unlucky or unsavory talismen. .
The tragic fi- ' eminiscent of the many . other
