Thousands Perish from Cold and Starvation in Wyoming.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 9,-Thousands of sheep are reported to have perished from cold and starvation in western Wyoming. The cold has been intense for 60 days and old-timers say that it is the hardest winter they have seen for the past ten years. Carbon county has 500.000 sheep and flock masters there and fear the loss will amount to 25 per cent. Losses among cattle will not be so heavy, as owners had been preparing for several years to feed their stock during the severe weather.
