SOME ANIMAL HUNTERS.
Strategy by Which, California Coyotes Ran
Down . Jack Rabbit.

An Indian will often take deer's
trail, when deer are scarce, and follow
it for days, preventing the deer from
feeding CT resting and making it so
weary and careless that i'll the end he
kills it by a shot at short range. Proba-
bly, the Indians first learned to follow q
deer i'll this fashion from observing the
habits of wolves, panthers and other
wild and tireless trailers of game.
The coyote is not so strong a wolf as
it's big gray cousin in Maine and other
wolf countries. Nevertheless he has
been known to run the jack rabbit down
as surely as death, but in more expe-
ditious way than the Maine animal
adopted. Whether it is habit or not Of
the coyotes to run jack rabbits in pairs
cannot be said for certain, but story
was told some time ago in well known
sportsman paper which, being backed
by similar story Of English foxes, has
every appearance of being truthful.
The two coyotes We're seen to jump q
rabbit one day out in California on a
mesa. One Of the coyotes took after it
On the dead jump, the other trotted to
a near by rise and lay down, with it's
nose on its paws, knowing that the rab-
bit would surely circle Pretty soon
along came the jack rabbit with the 9TH
er coyote behind, both going full tilt
Up jumped the waiting coyote, and
away it went after the rabbit, while the
other dropped out of the chase and wait
ed, as it's companion had done, to take
the trail ON the rabbits return. 1t was
not long before the rabbit was exhaust
ed by the strategy and endurance of both
the animals of prey and soon fell an
easy victim to be eaten by both the
hunters.
J. B. Bennett of Brooklyn saw fox
early one morning lying beside the open,
narrow gate of a rabbit proof fence that
surrounded u 40 acre plantation not far
from the Marquis of Quecnsberry game
preserve in Scotland. Looking over into
the inclosurc he saw another fox chas-
ing the rabbits that had entered the
open gate to get at the cabbages there
The rabbits-eight or ten of them-were
headed for the gate and running like
equity sarks. When one plunged
through the gateway, the fox lying
alongside it leaped and had it by the
back of the neck in jiffy. Then the
foxes tore the rabbit to pieces and zen
joycd the feast like honest sportsmen :"

NEW MILITARY OFFICERS.

Object of Col. LawtOn's Bill to Re-
Iieve an OverwOrlxed Department..
There appears to be some misunder-
standing with regard q the military bin
drawn by Col. A. r. Lawton, an account
of which was given in yes terday's Atlanta
dispatch to the Morning News. 1t was
stated that a reorganization of the mill
tary forces of the state was contemplated
in the measure whereas this is not the
case and the only change contemplated
in the bill is the creation of the offices of
assistant inspector of rifle practice ord
nance sergeant and armorer.
In drawing a bill for any such purpose
1t is always necessary to quote the Ian
guage of the law sought to be amended
and 1t Is likely the idea that there was
reorganization of the state militia con.
templated, grew out of this fact
The object in making provision for an
assistant inspector of rifle practice, with
the rank of Lieutenant, is to relieve the
strain on the inspector of rifle practice
in certain regiments where it may be
found necessary, as in the First Regi-
ment here. Where so many men take an
active interest in the work on the ranges
one man cannot well attend to II between
May and August, and the bill makes pro-
vision for an assistant The ordnance
sergeant is to be a sergeant to aid the
inspectors of rifle practice. The whole
purpose Of the measure is simply to re-
lieve an over-worked department by put
ting more people in IL.
The object of creating the office Of arm
orer is to give those men who are in
charge of the various armorles in the dis
erection of the commanding officers. a
rank and fix it SO they can wear uni
forms. In this office it is provided that
the armorer shall not necessarily have
to be a full able-bodied man as is con-
templated in regular military ranks Some
of these men, however, have been IN the
service a long time, and it is considered
by many that they are, in many instances
entited TO some recognition for IL

A WONDERFUL MAN.
How He Attends to His Trade Under
Trying circumstances.

Many a man is compelled, at times, to
do business under difficulties There are
few, however, who have been subjected to
such trying circumstances as have befal-
len H. Logan, who does the leading
butcher business in the market. But he
is wonderful man, nevertheless, and
does not let trials bother him.
On Sept. 20 the storm which passed over
the city carried the roof from over his
head. The main mast to his crafty hull
was completely carried away. He has
since been beating against the wind. under
a jury rig, with two jibs set to battle
against the weather. The cabin has since
been frequently flooded, but Logan still
remains on deck, with a force of sturdy
seamen to battle against the elements, and
a plenty of fine beef to supply his many
customers.
City fathers and fathers of families to-
gether with numerous mothers have sight
ed the derelict, and have given their or
ders pleasantly, with a sympathetic feel
ing, trusting that before many days the
wreck will be repaired and a full rig again
meet their glance as they go to secure
their daily supplies.
Every is invited to the market to see
how perfectly Logan does business under
diff1culties-ad.

WANT THE CHHRTER FORFEITED.
Turnpike Commissioners After Ver-
NON Shell Road Co.

An application was made yesterday 10
the superior court asking that the char
ter of the Vernon Shell Road Company
be declared forfeited, and that the COM
pany be required to pay damages for its
neglect and misconduct in not repairlng
it's road.
Messrs. T. ]. Davis, Joseph Hull and w
1. o'Brien, who were appointed turnpike
commissioners by the superior court grand
jury made an inspection of the road, and
reported to that body that the road was
in a bad condition, and that it could 4ot
be travelled over comfortably or convent
emily. The report was made a part or
the grand jury's presentments
The turnpike commissioners stated that
the road was in a bad condition in many
places, and that repairs were needed. They
notified the toll-gate keeper of these facts,
they state, on Sept. 5, and the company
was, therefore, put upon notice of no
roads condition. and directed to put 1t in
good order. This action was taken under
section 719 BIB of the state code.
The company, it appears, paid no atten-
ton to the notice given by the turnpike
commissioners, and the suit was brought
in their name against it. They mention
the fact that notice of the roads condi-
ton was given some two months ago, and
that the repairs called for have not been
made. They ask, therefore, that the char
ter of the company be declared forfeited
by the superior court, and that the fury
give such damages as 1t may deem proper
to the public because of such neglect and
misconduct on the part of the company.
The suit was filed by Messrs. w. H. Wade
and j. K. Saussy, representing the turn
PIKE commissioners, and the county.

officers Won't Talk About the Bill
to CurtniI the Governors stan.
II appears from an Atlanta dispatch
that some Of the military officers of the
state do not altogether like the idea of
the present law which allows the COVER
nor of the state to appoint as many lieu
tenant-colonels as he pleases. There has
been some talk about the law for some
time, and according to the report from
Atlanta bill is to be introduced in the
legislature limiting the number of lieuten-
ant-colonels on the governors staff TO not
less than four nor more than ten.
The trouble appears to have been that
the governor has used the power to con-
fer favors upon friends, without any par
ticuiar regard to their actual military
standing. Then the lieutenants captains,
majors and other officers of the volun-
teers who have worked their way up
through the service by perseverance, would
find around them observation-disclosures in
all their regalia who had never handled a
gun The bill does not contemplate any
interference whatever with any of the
other officers on the governors staff Sew
eral of the military officers of the city
were seen about the proposed measure
yesterday, but none of them would dis
cuss it for publication.

under the will Miss Rebecca Meta Cohen
was also appointed executrix but she did
not qualify.
Under the win Mr.. Cohen left his life in
surance which amounts to about $4,000 to
pay his Indebtedness and liabilities, and
this it is believed will leave his real estate
unencumbered. If that should not be the
case, however, he directs that the balance
of his Indebtedness shall be paid from the
income from his estate, by the creation of
a sinking fund, which must not take away
from whatever may be necessary for the
support and maintenance Of his children.
If the amounts due should have to be paid
at once, his executors and trustees are
directed to borrow money on some OF the
property, the amounts so borrowed to be
paid from the income, through the sinking
fund so provided for
The executors as above stated also quail
flied before the ordinary as testamentary
guardians of Mr. Cohens minor children.
The real estate left, which is estimated to
be worth somewhere near $250,0O0 is to be
kept intact until his youngest child shall
be 20 years old when it shall be divided
equally among them The eXecutrix and
executors are empowered to sell any Of
the real estate which may be unproduc-
tive, at any time without an order of court.

be kept intact, but 1t is all left to be di-
