Only a Shepherd
Back in the frigid hills of Humboldt County the remains of a shepherd were found the other day. He was only a Basque or a common shepherd whose services were at the command of the big sheep companies for a nominal monthly stipend. The poor boy undaunted by inclement weather had insisted on venturing back to the range in spite of a blizzard and set forth with a couple of packhorses to reach his destination. This was months ago. Within the past week the shrivelled remains denuded of flesh by the mountain varmints were found. They could only be identified by the shreds of documents held in leash by the pockets of the faded clothing. Nothing could be done. The discovery was too far from the nearest town to justify the coroner in holding an inquest and consequently the unshriven carcass must remain until the spring storms shall wash away the snows of winter and leave the whitened bones to furnish evidence for a coroner's jury. Only a Basque shepherd found in the snow lifeless and sodden in the clasp of an inexorable winter but true to duty and as consistent in his faith as the soldier who harks forth to the wars inspired by the blare of trumpets and the cheers of multitudes. When the last roll is called and the spirit of the humble Basque shepherd shall respond to the trumpet his soul shall appear wreathed in all the glory of heroism to claim his reward at the throne. Goldfield Tribune (Nevada) 8 April 1910
