Fond OF Mutton.

Coyotes are not particular as to food,
eating anything that comes in their
way, but it is said that they have es-
pecial fondness for mutton. This leads
them to play havoc among the sheep,
where they are found in large fiocks.
A rancher in Oregon had a flock OF
1900 sheep, and, missing a large num-
Der, instituted a search. On the brink
Of a precipice he found three sheep
with their threats marked with the
teeth of a coyote. Making his way to
the bottom Of the canyon, he there
found the bodies of ITO sheep, on which
the coyotes had been feeding for a
week or more. From other incidents
Of like character it was concluded that
a number OF coyotes had gotten into
the flock when the sheep were driven
off their bedding ground by a storm,
and had herded them to the brink OF
the precipice, much as a lot of sheep
dogs would do. When the edge was
reached the coyotes pressed the sheep
so hard in the rear that those in front
were pushed over, and then the coy
otes toasted at their leisure.-Golden
Days.

A Repealed c

An act to define the manne of elect
ing County Commissioners, approved
Feb. 81, 1898, provided that County
Commissioners shall be elected by the
qualified electors wherein they reside,
in the manner az township officers are
now elected"
There was a question as to the con-
stitutionality OF the act, and the Legis-
lature amended the above quoted sec
ton 80 that it reads as follows:
County Commissioners shall be
elected by the qualified electors OF the
county wherein they reside as other
county officers are now elected"
Douglas county proposes electing the
Commissioners this year under the act
of 1893, but the amendment OF 1896
interferes with the arrangement.

Thomas a. aaurke shot me Killed
b Thomas wooditR.

The residents Of A street, between
Union and Taylor streets. were startled
at about ] AS o'clock this afternoon by
the sharp report Of a pistol. On hurry
ing to their doors they saw a man stag
gering along and bleeding, fall in the
doorway OF No. 10, the residence OF
Judge Spargo. The occupants went to
the door and found the bleeding man
was Thomas O'Rourke, who had been
shot by Thomas Woodliffe, Jr.
O'Rourke was unconscious from the
loss of blood. Sheriff Quirk was the
first officer to reach the scene and
found O'Rourke was dying from his
wound. He remained but a moment
to ascertain by whom O'Rourke was
shot and Immediately ran to the Wood
lift residence at No. Is South A street
for the purpose OF ~arresting the homi-
eide, but after a thorough search Of the
house failed to find him. Woodlif
was subsequently, taken in custody by
Officers Wooley and 0'Toole at the
Stanley residence in the neighborhood
and brought to the county Jail.
The wounded man never spoke after
he was shot, as the blood from the
pistol wound was suffocating him.
After the shooting O'Rourke started
north and tried to enter the residence
at No. IL A street, occupied by W.
Davis, but as the door was fastened he
staggered to the next house, where he
fell and expired. The doorstep of the
Davis residence was covered with blood
and a trail of blood led to the place
he fell.
Thomas Woodlif, Jr., the man who
did the shooting, stated to an officer
that he warned 0'Rourke on several
occasions not TO visit the family resi-
dence, as he had not treated his sister
properly. lie said that when he was
coming away from the house after eat
ing lunch he met O'Rourke near the
corner OF A and Union streets, and re-
turning shortly after found the latter
just leaving the family residence. al
said TO him, '-- l told you to
keep away from the house, O'Rourke
made an insulting answer, and l shot
him. "-Saturday's Chronicle.
