Babcock Geo K sheep (Eva)
Newspaper:
Mr. and Mrs. George Babcock are in from the sheep camp on the Weminuche for a few days. George reports the range very dry but stock doing well. He says it has not rained a sufficient amount at any time this season where his camp is located to even properly lay the dust. While here Mr. Babcock is finishing his residence, building flues, etc.
Bayfield, Colorado
George Babcock, who returned to the sheep business last fall, figures it this way; His ewes cost him $8.00 per head; the wool will bring $3.00 per head and the lambs $7.00; total income $10.00 per head; cost of feeding $1.00 per head. Net profit in the years $1.00 per head and the original cost of the ewe. In other words, the ewes more than pay for themselves the first year.

Bayfield Man is Dead
George Babcock, a resident of Bayfield for the past 50 years, was found dead in his bed this morning and the circumstances were investigated by Coroner I.E. Maxwell, Sheriff Bruce Sullivan and District Attorney James M. Noland.
Death was probably due to a heart attack, it was reported. He had been having "spells" lately and was being treated by a Bayfield doctor.
The case was reported by Morrison and Frank Carmack, who went to visit Mr. Babcock in his room over a downtown Bayfield establishment. The deceased man was an old age pensioner.
