COLORADO MOUNTAIN SHEEP.

rare and timid animals are leaving
their dizzy haunt anions the high
mountain peak aud drawiug nearer to
the habitations of man than over be
fore. In the comparatively low lauds,
near the town of Jefferson, there la
now a flock of fifty or more mountain
sheep. Jefferaon U on the South Park
Kallroad, about eighty-one miles south
west of Denver, In Park County. It lo
an, old-fashioned community, and has
near It the well-known summer resort,
Jefferson Lake. Tho vicinity, disturbed
by the rumble of trains as well a the
eoumla of human life and industry, Is
not at all a quiet one. It has none of
the characteristics which usually mark
the natural home of the almost extinct
mountain sheep. .
And yet for several days past a band
of at least fifty of the soft-eyed, lnrge
Jiorned native sheep of the Rocky
Mountains has been calmly grazing
around the town of Jefferson aud close
to the railroads. It is said that the
sheep do not display any sign of fear
of the Jefferson people. Many of them
come In open daylight within easy pl
tol hot of the residences. They do not
run away unless somebody purposely
trie to frighten them.
For many years past the sight of a
mountain sheep has been a rarity in
Colorado, and usually but one at a time
has been seen. A hunter far off from
civilization migb:. descry a solitary
heep perched ou a crag overlooking
some wild and steep canyon, but hard
ly ever within gunshot range. No such
thing as fifty sheep together has been
reported, even by the veriest Mun
chausen of hunters. When a lone sheep
was seen it usually disappeared from
view at the slightest awirin.
Considering these things, the descent
of fifty sheep upon the town of Jeffer
son, as though they had formed them
selves Into an excursion party some
where among the mountains, does not
look reasonably explainable. The gen
eral theory is that bitter cold and deep
snows In tho higher altitudes drove
them downward, and that they Joined
together for mutual protection as they
traveled from peak to peak. Killing
mountain sheep Is absolutely prohib
ited by law In Colorado. It Is a closed
season all the year round with the ani
mals, Just as it is with buffalo. Denver

London, April so. Mr. Henry Nor
man tbe Daily Chronicle's correspondent
at Athens says:
"I have the very best reason to believe
that Greece is now disposed to recall her
forces from Epirus and even to evacuate
the island of Crete. Two hundred thou
sand women and children aie homeless
and destitute in Thessaly and the gov
ernment is unable to relieve their
nei."
AH tbe talk now, says tbe Daily Mail's
Berlin correspondent, is of the interven
tion of the powers. Even Germany
wishes to save Greece from the conse
quence of defeat, and it is believed in
Berlin official circles that the powers
will intervene of their own initiative if
Greece does not invite them.
', According to a dispatch from Con
Hantinople to the Lokal Anseiger tbe
sultan will accept the following condi
tions as tbe basis for peace:
The withdrawal of the Greek troops
from Crete and the re-establishment of
tne frontier of 1821, Greece to be exclud
ed from all tbe advantages of capitula
tions and to pay indemnity.
Tbe Daily Mail's correspondent says
the news from Greece continues alarm
ing, and he understands that a Russian
ship is lying at Piraeus, tbe port of
Athens, ready to embark the royal
family.
The Daily Mail's correspondent at
Paris has had an interview with the
ambassador of one of the powers of the
dreibund, who emphatically denied that
"any accord" exists between the triple
alliance and Turkey. The ambassador
declared that not even Germany had en
tertd into a treaty with the sultan.

Gothrib, Okl., April 29. For miles
last night the Canadian valley was a
dreary waste and her people are over-!
cast with gloom. At sunrise yesterday,
morning a mighty wall of water from'
six to eight feet high and a mile wide
broke upon West Guthrie without warn-
I . .
ing, crushing bouses, sweeping away
property and drowning people by the
score. Every movable thing wa swept
before the wave, which passed into the
valley with resistless force, wreaking
terrible destruction to life and property
wherever it reached. ,
. Dozens of human lives are known to
have been sacrificed, how many may
not be known for weeks; hundreds of.
houses were wrecked in the twinkling
of an eye; fur miles farms were ruined,'
bridges and tracks were washed out and
railway traffic in evety direction is at a
etandstill.
The most complete chaos has pre
vailed all day. The efforts of rescuing
parties have in many rases proven in
vain. , Many people floated down stream
before they could be reached and
their fate is unknown; others will pass
the night in the trees in midstream or
perched on house tops. It is impossible
to estimate the dead. The property
loss is placed at something near a mill
ion dollars.
ESTIMATES ON DEATH LIST.
When darkness settled over the city
last night many were claiming that all
of forty lives had been lost, and not in
frequently men were heard claiming
that fully 200 perished. These wild es
timates are unquestionably exaggerated,
but the exaggerations are not to be won
dered at, if the frightful incidents of the
disaster are considered. Lives were lost
in the flood in every direction in place
of the few who were heroically carrying
on the work of rescue and of the many
who stood helpless at the edge of the
raging wa'ers. Men and women
and
children struggled in the torrent side by
side v, ith horses and cattle, perishing
here, another there and in other places
sev-.rai disappearing together beneath
tbe flood.
At dark two bodies had been recov
ered. Tne bodies recovered are those of
Anna Kaizer, a school teacher, and
Frank Mayers.
Others known to have been drowned
are :
George Owens.
J. II. Calhoun, wile and child.
Charlie Rufner and wife.

Gold Produced In California . j
San Fuancisco. April 29. The sta

this city has just forwarded to tbe di- :
rector of the mint at Washington the
annual report of the gold and silver pro-,

duction of California, which covers the
yield of 1896. According to returns re
ceived at the mint, the gold yield of this
state last year was $17,181,562, which is
an increase over 1895 of $1,847,245 Tbe
yield of silver was $4f 536, a decreased
production for the yeaftcf $177,353. The
total gold and silver product of the state

satisfactory showing.

broke out in tbe Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad company's pier No. 6 at an
early hour yesterday morning and be
fore the flames were checked damage to
the extent of two million dollars had
been done.
Two of tbe company's immense piers
were destroyed, three vessels were
burned U the water's edge, a tug boat
was entirely destroyed and eight persons
injured, some of tbem seriously.
The flames were discovered in pier No.
5 before 5 o'clock in the morning and
spread with such rapidity that it was
impossible to make any headway against
them. A fierce north wind fanned the
flames furiously and swept them across
the ecks to pier 6, which was soon also
burning furiously. The British steam
ship Clintonia, which was loading with
oil, tobacco and general merchandise at
pier 5, was soon ablaz;. Tugs pulled her
out into the middle of the river. She
was burned to the water at 10 o'clock
last night.
, The Norwegian steamship Solveig next
caught. The crew managed to escape
by climbing down the hawsers to the
pier.
Meanwhile the Chesapeake & Ohio
tug Wanderer, which had caught fire,
had burned to the water's edge. The
German sailing ship Bischoff also caught
and she went to the bottom at 6 o'clock.
The crew of 'bis vessel had a very nar
row escape from being cremated and
were only rescued with tbe greatest
difficulty after tbe captain and boats
wain had been badly burned. The heavy
north wind and the heroic efforts of the
fire department saved the large grain
elevator of the Chesapeake & Ohio com
pany from destruction.
Big Hnk Fall.
Norfolk, Va. April 28. Business circles
weie startled last night by the news of
the assignment of N. Burris, Son & Co.,
one of tiie most prominent and widely
known banking firms in the south. The
liabilities amount to between $340,000
and $350,000 and the assets are stated
by the firm to be $400,000 available,
wi'.h nominal assets much more. It is
stated that the bank will pay out even
and this is probab'y a fact.
Captain Burris gives as the cause of
the failure hard times and a great de
mand for money, and though offers of
1 assistance were received from numerous
banks at home and abroad it was
deemed best for tbe protection of the
depositors, as wellaa the firm, to assign
at once.
The bank was established in 1864 and
did an immense businees. Is Uilure
was a surprise to everyone, as it was
considered one of the most substantial
institutions of the sort in the country.

Reenlfc M. Bailie Stir up a Oommo
tlun by a Treat.
London, April 27. The most serioui
feature in the Graeco-Turkish emer
gency is the revolutionary feeling dis
played at Athens. Ex-Minister Ralli,
leader of the prin ipal opposition group
in the legislative assembly, threatened
that unless the military staff was
changed he would issue a proclamation
to the people. His statements acted
like oil upon fire and the popular excite
ment has flared up Crowds assembled
in the streets to discuss them and want
ed to march to the palace to read tbem
to King George. Fortunately heavy
showers drove the people indoors.
M. Delyannis, keenly alive to tbe ne
tessity of immediate action, had an au
dience with the king, and after the in-
terview annouced that the staff of the
crown prince would be recalled and that
ex-Mmister Ralli, with three of hii
nominees, General Smolenski, General
Mavromihali and Colonel Dimopoulo,
would bo appointed to replace them,
M. Ralli, in a published interview, says:
"The moment Constantino arrived at
the seat of war the sole thought of the,
responsible commanders was not to at
tack or to withstand tbe Turks, but to
effect a safe retreat if necessary. All
orders emanated from the palace. Those
issued by anyone else were ignored.
When dispatches were sent to General
Mavromihali he was not where he was
supposed to be, having been moved on
by superior orders."
M. Ralli attended the council at the
palace.
The daily Telegraph's Athene corres
pondent says today :
"All of M. Ralli's conditions have
been accepted. The king gives carte
blanche to his ministers. As the public
begins to learn the truth anger against
the palace party increases and a feeling
of hostility against M. Delyannis is
j steadily growing. Late Monday night
! crowds were parading menacingly in
the vicinity of the palace.
Grant's Tomb Torn Down.
New York, April 27. The little brick
tomb in which the body of General
Grant remained durinir the twelve
. vears that the nermaront. mnr.im.ntai
tomb was building, was torn down last
night. Every brick and bit of stone
which had gone to make up the s rac
ture was carefully handled and piled in
a heap. This h eap was fenced about
and a guard placed over it so as to pro
tect the bricks from relic hunters.
The remains of the little tomb will
not oe removed until alter the ceremo
nies at tbe new tomb today and it is not
known yet what will be done with it.
