pecially wild animals, possess, is indeed
strange. Dogs, in hunting rabbits, will
follow in the rear of it, and thus run it
down if possible, but such is not the case
with the coyote. The jackrabbits
throughout this country, when started
up by either dogs or coyotes, make up the
steep mountain sides, which they are able
to run up rapidly, but the dogs and coy
otes are not, and it thus easily gets away
from its enemies. While out in the hills
the other day, we happened to see a
couple of coyotes start up jackrabbit,
which they managed to catch after a
long and exciting chase. AS soon as the
rabbit was started up, one of the coyotes,
instead of running directly after the prey,
started up the hill so as to get between
the rabbit and the mountains, and kept
on the upper side of it during the whole
Of the chase, while the other coyote kept
on following in the rear of the rabbit,
chasing it until captured. Several times
the rabbit endeavored to run up the hill,
but it was always headed off by the coy.
ote above, and was captured.
DURING the week men and supplies left
for the mines near Hike. On Monday
Chief Manager Chas. Lyttle left for the
scene of operations, and on Wednesday
Prof. Dow left for the same place. The
Professor left here armed to the teeth,
having brace of revolvers on, a sawed
off shotgun resting at the right side of
him and a Winchester across his KEGS.
As he passed through town he was mis-
taken for shotgun messenger guarding
treasure. Dow goes prepared so as not
to permit the Pahranagat settles to take
undue advantage of him.
