AN ANGLER’S HARD LUCK TALE 
In southwestern Colorado, with two of my 
friends, I stepped off the narrow gauge train i 
just at the entrance of the Black Canon, at a 
point which was recommended to us as one of 
the most favorable places for trout fishing along 
the wild Gunnison River. One day, while fish¬ 
ing right under a cliff formed by one of the 
plateau supporting rocks, we were aroused by a 
rumbling noise which was distinctly audible 1 
above the roar of the stream. 
Then we saw the body of a sheep floating 
down the stream; in another moment we saw 
two sheep being carried down the torrent; the 
next moment the body of a lamb fell within a 
foot of where I was sitting. Then followed a. 
veritable shower of sheep. One of my compan¬ 
ions was struck senseless, and before I could go 
to his assistance I was struck on the head by a 
large ram and was carried into the raging river. 
In this part of the Gunnison rocks protrude 
above the surface of the water, and no- one can 
cross the stream without assistance an'd hope to 
come out alive. I was hurled from side to side 
and from rock to rock, when, after being carried 
down the stream fully ten furlongs, I was washed 
up on to a pile of sheep that had accumulated 
on one of the rocks. I was bruised and scared 
to the point of insanity, but I managed to reach 
the shore, although my life was again imperiled 
by reason of a break in the dam of sheep which 
had temporarily bridged the stream. 
The explanation of the shower of sheep is as 
follows: The sheep and cattlemen, who each 
claimed the plateau as their grazing ground, had 
been engaged in bitter warfare. The cattlemen 
maintained that where the sheep were allowed 
to graze the land was rendered tmfit for cattle to 
graze upon, owing to the fact that the sheep 
cropped the grass so closely that there was noth¬ 
ing left for the cattle. On this particular morn¬ 
ing the sheep were in corral, and the angered 
cattlemen took advantage of the absence of the 
herders, opened the gates of the corral, stampeded 
them, and ran them to the edge of the plateau, 
over which 2,500 of the sheep were precipitated.—
