From January 8, 1902, to the present
time the county clerk has issued scalp
bounty warrants to the amount of $4,-
450, thus indicating the removal of the
upper story of 1925 eheep loving
coyotes.
Under the present. scalp bounty law,
the first warrant was issued for coyote
ps by County Clerk Crawford on
March 2S, 1901. From that time until
the first of January, 1902, 1892 scalps
we're presented for which warrants were
issued to the amount of $33S4. During
the spring months is the time when the
greater amount of scalps are presented,

Morrow county is being gradually
thinned out. During the operation of
the scalp bounty law since March 2S,
1901, 1917 coyote scalps have been
presented in Morrow county and 1884
have been put in circulation thereby,
