There is some comment in this
X
neighborhood over the disappear
ance of Waller Todd. 'He is hold
ing a bunch of sheep , about 2100
head , in the sand hills adjoining D.
A. Hancock's ranch. May 14 , he
came from herding to the sheep
wagon about 8 o'clock in the eve
ning , changed his clothes and saic
he was going to the ranch , ( Han
cock's. ) Since then he has not
been heard from. His friends and
herders profess the most profound
ignorance of his 'whereabouts. As
it is lambing and shearing time , to
say the least , it is singular. He is
a Kentuckian , a single man and is
reputed to have several thousand
dollars invested in sheep and cattle.
He was very despondent and not
feeling well for some time before
disappearance. EAGLE.
