It Is Claimed Four Sheep Died In

Pasture

The firm of Blum & Awrey have

filed a lengthy declaration in the case

of Joseph Gauss, of Bridgewater, vs.

John Hensler, of Freedom, pending be-

fore Justice Fish, of Saline. The

declaration alleges that Gauss gave

Hensler 50 sheep to pasture at 75 cents

a week. Hensler guaranteed that he

would take the best of care of the

sheep and give them tame pasture.

Gauss claims that four days later he

looked at the sheep and found them

in the woods with no water. Four

sheep were dead, and after driving the

sheep home three more died. The

sheep looked emaciated and thin. The

bill of particulars charges $20 for dead

sheep and $80 for depreciation in

value of 40 sheep. A. F. & F. M.

Freeman, of Manchester, are the de-

fendant's attorneys. The date for trial

is set for Aug. 17.  It will probably

be adjourned.
