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.
