Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1900-06-15
PLuckY MRS. vo,oHT.
Alone She Bravely Attacked, cornere,
and Killed a Coyote.

Alone She Brave1y Attacked, Cornered
and Killed n Coyote.
When forced to an issue woman in
variably proves herself as plucky as a
man. Mrs. Rose Weight, wife Of Mr..
III. M. Weight, a farmer near Modesto,
CAL, has just furnished an example of
the courage and strength for which the
women of the West have become ia
nous since the days of the pioneer.
The other night Mrs. voight's dog
caught coyote of his guard and ran
him into the barn, planting himself
noisily at the entrance so that his VIC
tim should not come without settling
accounts with him face to face. The
dog knew enough not to go In after the
game. When Mrs. Voight heard the
dog barking so significantly she knew
there was "varmint" of some kind In
trouble. She surmised also that Tow
ser would not push the matter any fur
Their without assistance from the house.
She went to the barn and looked In.
After moment the form Of the
coyote became visible In far corner,
bis eyes cleaning like the real story
book eyes Of beasts that are met In the
dark. A pitchfork stood against the
barn. near the door. Mrs. Voight
Erasped this belligerently and stepped
Inside. In FIVE seconds or less there
was a battle in progress in the dark
ness Of the barn, and the dog stood In
the door and barked the louder to en-
courage the affair, and perhaps also to
encourage himself.
The coyote, fairly cornered and left
no alternative, had to fight or be killed
like sheep. He snarled with a kind
of hopeless defiance and showed his
fangs, but Mrs. Voight was ready for
him. He had no sooner turned to face
her than she jammed the fork full
upon him, the prongs entering his
shoulders and running clear through
him, so vigorous and well-aimed was
the blow. Yet he made a leap forward,
the pain from the wound adding frenzy
to desperation, and almost wrenched
the fork from the woman's hands as
she still held it in his shoulders. She
held on, however. driving the weapon
Cottonwood report. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1893-1901, 1900-06-15

harder and harder into the stricken
beast until finally she got him actually
pinned to the ground. He squirmed
and writhed while she held him down,
her intention being to crush the life out
Of him there and then.
But coyotes are as hard to kill as
they are to catch. Mrs. Voight had to
make a new attack. She reached and
caught rope with one hand while she
held the fork handle with the other,
and with the rope she tied the fork to
the wall In such a way that the Inn
paled victim could not dislodge 1t. This
left her free to go after club, with
which she soon returned and beat the
animal until he was past doing any
further mischief in this world. Then
she released him, put moose around
his neck and dragged him to the house,
where she held him as trophy for her
husband to see when he returned from
the field, where he had been all day en-
gagged in blowing.
