A COYOTE HUNTERS $4,000.

John Z. Smell tells us that the law
which pays bounty on every scalp
removed from the scull Of coyote
in California has been the resource Of
all his present little fortune, and he
is grieved at the probability that the
law makers at Sacramento win repeal
the statute at this session of the Legis-
lature.
When the coyote bounty law went
into effect, in March, 1891. John Smell
was waiter in San Bernardino
hotel, He had a taste for cunning,
and knew the mountains and the
fayorite resorts of the coyote in South
ern California. So he started out early
for coyotes scalps He has made a
business of hunting and scalping the
beasts ever since. but for some months
the supply of coyotes has been so
small under the operation of the bounty
law, that he has not made more than
$50 or 800 a month, and that, with
necessarily large expenses, has made
the net profit very small.
Mr. Smell tells us that his two years
work in the coyote-csalping business
made him about $1,000 richer. He has
shot, trapped, poisoned and manned
coyotes in every county south Of
tYisalia, He has had two partners In
the business at various times. but most
of the time he has worked alone.
He has tramped and ridden on horse
back several thousand miles in quest
Of coyotes. He made the most money
in scalps in San Diego county, and the
next most in Ventura county. For the
first six months in the occupation he
got on an average two scalps a day.
In one day, in the Temescal mount
aims, he got fourteen scalps, and in one
week his receipts from bounties on
scalps deposited with the Clerk of Los
Angeles county were over $160. But |
those were the palmy days of the
coyote-scalp industry, and when
the law first went into effect. |
For the past ten months the
number of coyotes has been
growing smaller fast, and for several
days at a time Smell has not SO much |
as seen one of the animals, and the |
few that remain have become so scary
and fearful of the presence of hunters
that 1t now takes a quick rifle shot to |
lay one of them low. His gross receipts |
for scalps have been over $5O00

a "sea Lea lawyer" Lowrie denied the
statement, but Mclean. without waith-
out waiting for an explanation, hit him
a heavy blow on the face. In moment
Wowrie had plunged the knife Ave
inches into McLeans body Just below
the heart. making a fearful cash and
penetrating the abdominal cavity. Nc
Lean fell to the deck and the police
boat was signalled by the crew. On the
arrival Of Deputy Marshal Stewart,
Lowrie gave himself UP very, quietly,
and was brought ashore and lodged in
the city jail. Mclean was removed to
the hospital. In his deposition he stated
that Lowrie's attack was entirely un-
provoked, The weapon with which the
blow was dealt has been on the ship
for fifteen years, and has been sharp
ened down to a bare edge that makes
1t, in all but the handle. a stiletto.
Yesterday afternoon Lowrie was tried
before Judge Osburn. Mr.. G. c. Full
ton appeared for the defense, and two
sailors from the ship swore that Nc
Lean was the aggressor. On the evil
dence the judge found that Lowrie had
acted in self defense and ordered his
discharge.

THE EARLY OWL.

An owl once lived In a hollow tree
And he was as wise as wise could be,
The branch Of learning he didn't
Could scarce on the tree Of knowledge
grow.
He knew the tree from branch to root,
An owl like that can afford to hoot.
And he Nhooted-until, alas one day,
He CHANGED to hear, In a casual way,
An Insignificant little bird
Make use Of a term he had never
heard,
He was flying to bed in the dawning
light,
When he heard her singing with all
her might,
"Hurray hurray for the early
wormv
Dear me-" said the owl, what a
singular term
I would look it up if it weren't so
late;
I must rise at dusk to investigate,
Early to bed and early to rise,
Makes an owl healthy, and stealthy
and wise p
So he slept like an honest owl all day,
And rose in the early twilight gray,
And went to work in the dusky light,
To look for the early worm at night.
He searched the country for miles
around,
But the early worm was not to be
found;
SO he went to bed in the dawning
light
And looked for the worm" again
next night,
And again and again and again
and again,
He sought and he sought. but all in
vain,
TIL he must have looked for year
and day,
For the early worm in the twilight
gray.
At last in despair he gave up the
eearch,
Aan was heard to remark as he sat
on his perch,
BY the side Of his nests in the hollow
tree:
'srhe thing is as plain as night to
Nothing can shake my conviction
firm,
There's no such thing as the early
worm"

STORY OF GEN. SHERMAN.

Singular Interview at Jackson. Miss.
Yes, Joseph L. Johnston had crossed
Pearl River on his retreat to the east,
and 1t was known that Sherman would
evaouate jackson and pursue him as
soon as possible. With great difficulty
had secured from the Federal author
tiles the assurance that my cotton fac
tory would not be burned But on the
night when the evacuation was In

that a change had been made In the
orders and that the torch was likely
to be applied to the property any
moment.

I'm Gen. Sherman. What do you

his orders were to spare the factory

that he wanted to go to sleep. He

Associated Press.
Washington, March 27.-The report OF
the majority and minority committees
on the contested election case Of Lee
Mantle, the senator appointed by the
governor of Montana, was made to the
senate today. Hoar submitting the re-
port of the majority In favor of seat
ing Mantle. and Vance. chairman of
the committee. reported against seat
ing him. There were two other cases,
those Of Beckwith. appointed by the
governor of Wyoming. and Allen, ap-
pointed by the governor of Washing
ton.
Inasmuch as the facts are the same
in the test to be made in the case Of
the senator upon whose credentials the
report is made, it Is not unlikely that
as this is decided, so will be the others.
In reply to the assertion that fail
ure by the legislator elect senator is
a refusal by the state to be represented,
the majority make two-fold answer:
First. That the constitution of the
United States did not mean to permit
a state to be unrepresented.
Second. Inability of the state legis-
lature, when there is more than one
candidate, to agree upon a senator, is
by no means equivalent to a refusal of
the state to elect one.
The majority set out in argument
with the clear, unqualified purpose of
the constitution to keep the senate full
and the fact that every other purpose
of the constitution relating to such
matters is accomplished by holding
that the power In question resides In
the governor.
The minority report will be presented
tomorrow.
The senate confirmed the nomina-
tion of John B. Risley, minister to Dem
mark; Silas w. Lammeau, of Wiscon-
sin, commissioner general of the land
office; Horace H. Lurton, of Tennes-
see, for United States circuit judge for
the Sixth circuit.
