THIEVES SHOOT SHEEP.
PRIME CARCASES TAKEN.
SEVEN ANIMALS LEFT DEAD.
OUTRAGE IN CANTERBURY.
[by telegraph.—OWN correspondent.] ' CHRIBTCHURCH, Sunday.
Firing into a mob of sheep on Mr. K. J. McLean's property, Mountain Meadows, Mount Grey, North Canterbury, thieves picked out from among the slaughtered animals carcases that were prime leaving the bodies of seven others on the ground. The outrage draws attention to a form of sheep stealing that has developed of late. Pcoplfe drive out from Christchurch, kill sheep on some secluded property, and take the carcases back to town. Farmers are indignant over the manner in which they are being plundered. Many carrying guns are now patrolling their properties at week-ends.
"Mountain Meadows'' is only one of many properties on which all trespassing is now forbidden.
