Show Sheep Disappearance Solved; Owner Suffers $3,000 Loss The mystery of where the 75 head of sheep went which were lost from the Charles F. Burton flock was solved last week when the remnants of the small bunch was found trapped in the box canyon on the range where Mr. Burton runs his sheep in late summer. For some cause or other the sheep had gotten down In the canyon over a ledge from where they couldn't get back and although al-though Mr. Burton with other help had hunted for them continually con-tinually for the past two months no trace of them was found until un-til last week. All but eight of the 75 head of sheep had died from starvation starva-tion as there was no vegetation where they were trapped, although al-though there was some water. Mr. Burton, who found the sheep himself states that his loss will be about $3000 based on the current cur-rent price of sheep. |
