f THE TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, AUGUST 28.81902. •4 800 SHEEP POISONED. General News. Serious Outbreak Between Sheep When Piesident Roosevelt visits Ashe Men. ville, N. U., in September he will be J ohn D av C itv , Aug. 26.—Scattered near the old townsite of Dixie, on Dixie Creek, some distance east of |ohn Day City, lie the carcasses of 800 sheep, poi- soiled in some mysterious manner as they were being driven for shipment in Baker County. Of the 800 dead, 500 be longed to J. C. Oliver, of John Day City while J. C. Moore, of Mount Vernon, owned the rest. The poison was not placed maliciously, but was due to some mineral formation or poisonous weed. The loss is very heavy on both these un fortunate sheepmen, as the 800 animals were grass fat and worth over $4- a head as soon as they had reached their destin ation. This is probably the most extensive loss which has occured for several years on the wide ranges of the John Day country from poisoning. Small losses of both sheep and cattle in numbers rang ing from five to 25 bead have been com- mon, occuring several times each year, but the present large killing has stirred stockmen to look about for the causes. If the cause is uniform in every case, it costs the sheepmen who range in the John Day several thousand dollars an nually. Poisoning of sheep in this country be gins immediately after shearing in the Spring, when herders are driving to mountain Summer range. Herders get ting up in the morning after camping near a given locality will find several sheep lying dead with no external marks of violence. The average herder is not is not a scientific man at all, and beyond reporting the occurrence to his employer next time lie sees him lie does nothing more than hurrv his flock out of that particular district, while the next man that comes along gets into the same scrape. This goes on year after veai. Dixie Creek affords one location for these mysterious poisonings ; there is another at the head of the John Day Valiev, where hundreds of sheep have been killed in the past few years ; another near Rit ter and others scattered oyer Morrow and Grant Counties M onument , Aug. 2G.—Five sheep kill ed and a sheepherder shot in the side and nearly fatally wounded were the distinguishing features of the most seri ous range war outbreak which has oc cured in Morrow County yet this season. As most of the Morrow County sheepmen range abroad, most of the trouble in which they are involved occur in other counties. This is the first km wn affray within the borders this season. Mose Elliot, herder for John Matlock, of Heppner, was ranging on Matlock Prairie, 111 southeastern Morrow, 30 miles from the Umatilla border. Mat lock owns considerable range on the prairie, but Elliott was l imning the band on Government range beyond the deed ed limits, and the source of the trouble is thought Io lie in this. As the herder crossed a canyon to round tip a few stray bunches, two unknown stockinen suddenly appeared about 300 yards away and began the customary diversion of pumping Winchester balls into sheep Elliott, as soon as the firing began, hastened hack across the canyon, s“cured a 30-30, and, recrossing, opened up hostilities on his own account. As soon is the attacking pair saw him. they fired, bitting the unlucky herder in the side and knocking him down. He was 2.50 yards’a way when shot at. otherwise the bullet would probably have gone closer home, Elliott, though badlv hit, fired five shots at his assailants, who ran round a tiillock and dissapeared. There is no clue to their identity. President Burt Arrested. OM a RA, Aug. 26,—President Horace G.
