relief comes quick and sure, and one

therefore, placed themselves on record

A VICIOUS COYOTE.
He Opens Battle on Trapper Campbell
and Bites Him Severely.

w. A. Burt Campbell is hunter and
trapper of many years. experience in
Wasco county. Many trophies of the
chase adorn residences and business
houses of The Dalles which are from
wild animals killed by Mr.. Campbell.
He invariably receives county scrip for
bounties at every session of the county
court, and prizes every fall from the fair
association. Yesterday he had most
unusual experience, and one which has
probably never before been duplicated.
While making the rounds of his traps he
came upon one about o'clock in the
afternoon which held coyote. The ami
NAL watched Mr.. Campbell's approach
without fear, and indeed tugged at Its
chain in the effort to reach him. When
within about fifty feet, the coyote suc-
ceeded in extricating his foot, and in
stead of fleeing, made for the trapper,
determined upon giving him battle.
Campbell was so thoroughly surprised
he stood motionless waiting it's approach.
No one ever before heard of a coyote
that would attack man under any cir
eumstances, and Campbell supposed it
would surely turn and run before reach
ing him. But not so. The coyote soon
reached Mr.. Campbell and fercely at
tackled him. As it jumped for him be
threw an arm around its neck and tried
to strangle it. The animal proved too
strong for these tactics and Campbell
loosed his hole with one hand in order
to get knife from his pocket. While
doing this the coyote bit him on
the leg, through pair of chap.
parajos tshaps), If it had not
been for the leather garment the
wound would have been much more
severe. But Campbell had now got his
knife out and quickly closed the battle
/ by plunging it repeatedly in his ribs.
and cutting his throat. He at once
came to town and had the wound
dressed. Mr.. Campbell will probably
save that pelt as memorable of the only
coyote fight ever recorded it trappers'

court.

The Oregonian of yesterday contains
the following neat advertisement of
Dalles Oity's school clerk, Mr.. E.
Jacobsen:
Among the novel arguments the vari-
Gus school cam paigns throughout the
state have brought out, none is more
unique than one furnished by The
Dalles. Within three years $50 names
have been added to the list of those
who draw school money in The Dalles
school district. This would indicate n
increase in the population of the district
of about 1900, but there has been no such
increase in the population, hence the
additional names added to the list
must be attributed to the efficiency of the
clerk who made the last three enumer-
ations. The per capita apportionment
of state and county school money is
about So per year, so the addition of $50
names means an addition of 81 300 to
theschool funds of the district. The
man who did all this, pro bono publico,
it was argued, should be vindlcated at
The polls. tt is gratifying to learn,
therefore, that the school clerk of The
Dalles district was reelected by hand
some majority.

Trial at Dufur.

The town of Dufur was considerably
astir yesterday, because of trial taking
place within its precincts. On the
night of February 18th, while some resi-
dents of school district No. 20 were con-
Quoting the meeting of literary society
at the Liberty school house, the build
ing received a sudden shock as if it were
struck by large object from the out
side. Investigation proved this to be
the case and large oak lying upon the
ground showed what had been used.
The directors of the district made efforts
to discover who had done the deed and
finally complaints were sworn out
against Frank Coculine and John
Mason, charging them with being the
perpetrators. The trial occurred yester-
day and its progress caused considerable
interest, as all parties werc well known
in the community. Deputy Dist. Atty
Phelps conducted the prosecution, while
M. j. Anderson of Dufur pleaded the
cause of the defendants. At the con-
clusion of the evidence and arguments,
the jnry, after due deliberation, re-
turned verdict of guilty. Justice
Brigham imposed $40 fine upon each
of the defendants, taxing them also with
the cost.
