Information concerning this sheep given to me by Mr. Arnold is as follows. The animal was killed back of the local store in the town of Glennville, Kern County, on Friday October 16, 1936, about 11:45AM. It was suposidly shot by "Buster" Fields an "ignorant" young fellow of that region. When questioned as to the killing he has a laps of memory. This animal had been seen in the area by several people before it was killed by this promisceus hunter. According to Mr. Arnold 4 years ago Roscow Martin in the same region roped and had in a correll a large male Mountain Sheep. It soon escaped. These sheep are thought to have wandered in from the region north and east of Glennville on the ridge west of the main Kern River. According to Mr. Bullard, one of the cattle men riding for Mr. Vincint has reported in that region between Kernville and Glennville a small heard of Mountain Sheep.
