Monday evening" Dec. %. 1t
man by the name OF james Bowman present
ed l27 coyote skins on Tuesday to the county clerk
to have their ears punched and to get a bounty
certificate for them. His certificate calls for the
snug sum of 1881. Mr. Bowman says that he and
four others were nearly two months in securing
these skins and that they were mainly taken at
the base of the mountains east OF town. The per-
sistent nse Of hounds east Of the divide lie says,
seems to have driven these "yarmints' over on
the west side. Mayor Conley might 'let slip his
dogs of war; and drive them back again. What
an unearthly chorus would go up If the skins
could suddenly reclothe their original bodies and
life come back all at once. $751;.
