Alvino Alaniz, n Mexican ranchman OF
Rio Grande City, Tex, has undergone a
fearful experience that will probably cost
MIN his life. lie was riding after cattle,
and camped at night by little creek that
runs through tangle of mesquite lie
tethered his horse, cooked his supper and
was squatted by the fire smoking the in
evitable cigarette when a mad coyote
sprang upon him from the dark.
The little beast, with every hair standing
on end and his jaws dropping foam, struck
him full in the face and fastened its teeth
in his nose. The animal bore Alaniz back
ward and he sprawled Mt full length. He
endeavored to defend himself with his
hands, but to no avail The coyote snap
ped his teeth through the skin in half
dozen places, and the face of the man was
covered with blood AS he struggled to
his feet, frenzied with terror, his assailant
disappeared. The rauchman reached Rio
Grande City the next morning and was
treated, but is extremely Frustrated and
will probably die of hydrophobia.
Mad wolves and coyotes in southwestern
Texas at this season are by no means un
common. Three years ago e. c. Chamber

man, Richard King, was attacked while on
horseback by a mad wolf. He went to
Paris as fast MS steam could take him, was
