COYOTES MAKE A DEAL.
From The Bozeman (Mont) Chronicle.

II. II. Sappington was In the city Friday and
brought up several coyote skins to be punched nv
the county clerk We are here reminded that Mr.
Sappington relates an Incident to which he wa. an
eyewitness. that proves the coyote to be a sharp-
witted beast. Ho was out IN the hills near His
ranch, when he noticed coyote chasing n lack
rabbit at the top OF his speed. Away they went
the rabbit gradually curving his course and finally
coming back to the starting point. Now suddenly
a second coyote sprung out of hiding and took his
turn at swinging around the circle the tired COYOTE
resting. They kept this performance up until thew
wore out the poor jack. Mr. Sappington was OF tho
opinion that the coyote. In order to secure dinner
of jack rabbit. had entered into an arrangement
with brother coyote to join him In the hunt For

Baltimore June S.-Democratic prima-
ries for the election of delegates to the
three legislative district conventions were

ganization selected the delegates with
out opposition to speak of and will con-
state convention next Wednesday. Aside
from the selection Of sixteen delegates to
the democratic national convention and
the adoption of a sound money platform,
nothing else will be done by the state
convention.
There is some talk of sending eight 1ei-
egates at large to Chicago with one-half
a vote each. This may be done to insure
the election of Congressman John K
CoWen as a delegate. The sound money
men of the state are anxious to have him
al their spokesman in the national cons
vention, but Mr. German does not favor
the idea.
The Baltimore county democrats held
their convention to-day. A resolution was
unanimously adopted endorsing President
Cleveland in his views on the money ques-
tion and pledging itself TO a sound money
currency. The Presidents name was

Cross, who Is now directing active field
work in Armenia, shows a very encour-
aging state of affairs In that country
Agencies have been established by Miss
Barton In nearly every province, some OF
which contain as many as 300 villages.
The women having been furnished mate
rial are hard at work making garments
for distribution, while the men are build
ing houses and sheds for their families
and cattle.
The distribution OF seeds has started
many of the men farming, while large
numbers of mechanics have also been put
to work. Thousands of tools for farmers
and mechanics have been distributed.
The contagious diseases are being over
come, but a strong force Of physicians
Will be kept in the field for emergencies,
There Is a great demand by the villagers
for oxen, and as soon as possible the Red
Cross will allow each village two yokes.
This will take from 1900 to 1900 oxen.
Miss Barton reports that everything Is
going on smoothly, and that much good
has been accomplished. but that there
are many months OF hard work before the
