Phonograph Charms Sheep That "music hath its charms" was demonstrated in a unique manner in Ogden Canyon recently, when, for several minutes, a herd of nearly 5,000 sheep attracted by the music of a Phonograph, "stalled" in the Hermitage Grove and refused absolutely to obey the whistles of the herders and the sharp barks of the shepherd dogs. ; \ As the herd, which was* being moved to the Ogden stockyards for shipment to Eastern markets from a ranch near Eden, reached the canyon resort, one of the employees of the Hermitage turned on the Phonograph. The record set in motion was the late popular song, entitled "Billy." As the first strains of the tune were ground out the "bell sheep" made a dart for the musical instrument and was followed by the entire herd, the snapping dogs and the excited herders on horseback. Not until the selection had been played through could the sheep be urged out of the resort. Meanwhile a half dozen automobiles were prevented from using the road and two street cars were halted, with bawling sheep on every side. When the tune was ended the "bell sheep" trotted on toward town and the remainder of the herd followed without causing the herders any further trouble. The sheep invasion attended by a heavy cloud of dust, forced a big crowd of picknickers to seek refuge in the dance pavilion.
