CAT AND COYOTE.
Meet and Fight 1t out ON the Omen
Prairie.
From the Boise stateman.

From the Boise Stateman.
A Boise gentleman passing over the
sagebrush plains near Meridian the other
day was treated to an exhibition that was
as strange as 1t was interesting 1t was
a battle between a cat and coyote. 1t
was early morning, and plainly the nights
prowling over the prairie had netted the
coyote nothing in the way of a good,
square feed. When first seen he was
stealthily gliding about, his nose to the
ground, searching, as they always are, for
something to appease his Unsuitable appe-
lite. He stopped and was surveying the
surroundings from a slight knoll when
there appeared on the scene a great TOM
cat, a burly fellow, who seemed on a quest
for breakfast-sone toothsome morsel as
a cottontail or young grouse. When Tom
hove in sight the coyote smiled a satisfied
smile. All things come to the patient, he
must have thought, and he at once pre-
pared to take unto his inner self the boun-
ties that nature provided. Tom had not at
first seen the coyote; in fact, was not
aware that foe was near until the first
charge, when the coyote sprang at him
But, quick as a flash, he PARTED the first
thrust and then squared for action With
back up and fur on end, the cat stood his
ground for the second onslaught Ruffian
like, the coyote plunged into battle, in
tent on bearing down his antagonist with
brute force alone, and this probably saved
the day fer Tom. This time Tom got in a
left swinging blow on the coyotes jaw, let
ting first blood, then jabbed with the right.
bringing the coyote to a stand. The coyote
went to his corner under a sagebrush
bleeding. In the second round the coyote

and with about the same result to him
The cat uppercut him as he rushed in
then, swinging, mauled Rim with left and
right, until the air was full Of brown
gray hair The round was furious through
out, with honors for Tom The COYOTE
might have been counted out II the goph-
ers that watched the Bout had counted. He
deliberated long before coming in for the
third round, but his belly ruled his mind
and to the scratch he came, slowly this
time. Tom was. ready, and rushed the
fight He crowded the coyote and backed
hFn over the knoll, planting a left or
right whenever and wherever he pleased
Finally, after much sparring, Tom got in
