Miners Slay 1,000 Sheep.

Published in the Lake County Independent, Libertyville, Illinois on Friday, July 28, 1905

     One thousand head of sheep, the property of Lux & Miller of San Francisco, were shot in the Granite mining district of eastern Grant county, Oegon. Sheep owners had been warned to keep off certain mining property because of damage to the water supply and to forage the miners wanted for their horses. The herders persisted and the miners destroyed a large part of the band.
