There was a mutiny among the pupils at
the Washington Avenue school house yester
day morning , all on account of a little In
offensive circus that happened to pass
through the city with a couple tff $103 beauties
nnd revcral sally decorated pie wagons.
JTlin young hopeful * who have been learning
the art of mental marksmanship nt the
.Washington avenue building were allowed
to remain out ten minutes longer than usual
at the morning recess In order that they
might view the parade as It pained along on
) ! road way , two blocks away. Like all well
regulated boys , they refused to be satisfied
.With this , and after the bell had rung twice
to call them In there was a sudden stam
pede and a couple of hundred boys went
dashing down Ilryant street to Broadway.
it was fully half an hour before they had
Been all they wanted to of the clowns with
their frescoed faces , and turned back to
meet their Irate teachers. When the prlu-
clp.il of the building started on a roundup
> pf the building at llt.10 o'clock she found the
fugitives back In their places with looks of
Bupernatural goodness on their brows. A
lecture that left spots on the celling was
left In each room , and It Is likely that the
ball and chain Idea will be adopted the next
time a circus passes through Council muffs
Uurlng school time.

SONORA , Cal. , May 17. The snow , rain
and wind that prevailed In the Sierra Nevada
foot hills during Monday , Tuesday and
Wednesday was very disastrous to the sheep
Industry. The road from Sonera up to
Strawberry station , twenty-three miles , la
lined with dead sheep.
The storm was unusually severe for this
time of the year and the sheep having been
uheared before entering the country were In
an unljt condition to meet the winter.
Up to this date some 40,000 sheep have en
tered this country enrouto for the mountain
ranges , and as all of them were caught In
the storm It Is a low estimate to Day that
one-third of them have been killed.

the mountains are beginning to come In and

count of Monday's storm la far greater than
at ttrst stated. At one place 4,000 sheep
went found frozen to death In one heap
where they had tried to find shelter aiqong
the tree ; . The snow was two feet deep on
top of them. There are thousands of sheep
farther back In the mountains and they can
not be reached on account of snow. There
U hardly a possibility that they ran be saved.
If they were not frozen to death during the
storm they will die of starvation before the
