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

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.
