Peculiar Adventure OF an Earl In n Jar

The habit Of talking aloud was pc

One OF the guests, seeing how much
his lordship was disconnected. by the

CALIFORNIA; COYOTE LAW.
Evil Results OF Measure for the Bone
fit OF Sheep-owners.

California's coyote bounty law,
which was passed in the winter OF 1890
81 for the benefit OF the sheep-own-
ers, and which went into operation on
the following May. is operating in a
manner that is filling the taxpayers
and the fruit-growers OF the state with
dismay, says the New York Evening
Post. 1t provides that for each coyote
killed So shall be paid out OF the state
treasury to the person presenting the
scalp TO the clerk of the board of SUI
pervisors of each county. Although
only eleven of tifty-four counties in
the state had been heard from, the
claims of bounty aggregated July IL,

be so scandalous. But it has been

furthermore, that the bounty has
called into existence new and
profitable industry-that of breeding
coyotes. AS female coyote can pro-
duce three litters of seven pups each a
year she is worth something like $500
to her owner But this is not all the
evil of this ridiculous piece of legisla-
ton. One of the most serious pests
the California fruit-grower has to con-
tend against is the rabbit which is a
particularly fine tid-bit for hungry
coyote. Consequently the extermina-
ton of the coyote for the benefit OF
the sheep-owners of half dozen coun-
ties will be followed by such an in
crease of rabbits that the fruit inter
ests will suffer seriously. This, with
thousands and thousands OF dollars
that will be paid out for bounties dur
ing the two years that the law has TO
run, has aroused the press Of the state,
and there is a universal demand that
an end shall be put to the evil at the
earliest possible moment.
