Chelsea and Lyndon have a sensation on hand which has stirred up a commotion in that vicinity. John McKune, a Lyndon farmer, lost 16 sheep last week and instituted a search for them. He fouDd traces of them on a farm owned by A. Collins, about two and a half miles from his house. Although traces of the sheep were found, the sheep themselves could not be found for several days, when finally a sheep was seen floating in a marsh on the edge of a lake, on land belonging to Collins. Searching farther the bodies of the IC sheep were found in the "marsh, 11 of them having been shorn of their fleeces. As all traces of the sheep after they left their owner's premises were on Collins' land, euspicion was directed towards him and warrants were issued for the arrest of A. Collins ; Otto Duleck and Albert Harris, who work for Collins ; and Bert Wallace, who works in the vicinity and appeared to know to much about the missing sheep. Bail was furnished for all except Wallace, who is now confined in the county jail. The parties will have their examinations on Saturday, at Chelsea. Collins is a wealthy farmer and his arrest was a complete surprise.
