Ever since the first pioneers pushed
their way across the great plains the
coyote has been an outlaw, looking for
no mercy at the hand of man. His
predatory habits have made the animal
the bane of the ranchman. and his
howl has made him the evaporation
of the camper and the terror of the
tenderfoot. Then. too his habit of
sulking just within rifle range has
always made him tantaliZing target

all classes of men, however, the coy

THREE KILLED IN A FIGHT.
Desperate Battle of Detectives and Sus-
pects at st. Louis.

A dispatch from st. Louis last night says:
In a desperate battle today between hve
detectives and three suspects, whom they
were endeavoring to arrest, two detectives
were killed and one seriously wounded, and
one of the suspects was killed and TWO
others badly wounded. The dead: John j.
Shea and Thomas Dwyer, detectives; Al
bert Rose, suspect. The wounded James
McClusky, detective, shot through the
stomach, critical; C. C. Blair, fugitive, shot
four times through the head; Harry H..
Vaughn fugitive, badly beaten about the
head by detectives when he sought to aid
his friends in the battle.
The fight occurred in the front room Oh
a house on Pine street, and the men whom
the detectives sought to arrest are sus-
pected of being implicated in train ROD
berry at Centralia, H., few weeks ago.
The house had Seen under police surveii-
lance for several days. but today was the
first time that any of the suspects were
seen to enter or leave. Blair made state
ment that he. Rose, and others had been
seated in the room when the door was
opened and the detectives entered. Blair,

Lodge on Roosevelt's Panama Letter

A dispatch from Quincy, Mass. last night
says: In speech here tonight Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge took cognizance OF
President Roosevelt's letter to DIR. Shaw
on the Panama uprising. In replying to
Senator Cuiberson's New York speech of
the previous evening, he ridiculed the idea
that the publication OF that letter was an
exposure, and declared that all the informa-
ton in the letter was old.
Nothing could show the desperate and
helpless condition of the democratic cam
paign more strongly" said the senator,
than the publication under misleading
headlines of.the Presidents letter to DR..
Albert Shaw, which was read at public
meeting In New York last night by Senator
Sulnerson OF Texas. The headlines in the
democratic newspapers announced that this
letter is great exposure of the President

Meeting in Baltimore Last Night.

The annual meeting of the Maryland
State Game and Fish Protective Associa-
ton held in Baltimore last evening.
One speaker after another spoke of the
alleged delinquence of Col. John w. Ayi-
rett, the state game warden, in dealing
with the pulp companies which said to
be polluting the Potomac river by dumping
refuse from their factories into the stream
and its tributaries. He ridiculed for
his failure to prosecute the companies. DIR.
Walter S. Harlan of the District of CO.
lumbia Fish and Game Protective Associa-
ton read to the meeting the correspondence
which he had had with Colonel Avirett in
regard to the matter. In his letters Colonel
Avirett explained this failure to bring the
matter into the court by his confidence in
the promises made by members of the vari-
Gus factories in and near Harpers Ferry
At the conclusion of the reading of the
report of DR.. Harlan it was resolved to re-
wise and submit the whole transaction to
Governor Warfield and to request that he
make an investigation.
Major Sylvester chief of the District of
Columbia police force. who has enjoyed
hunting and fishing along the Potomac for
the past twenty wears, spoke of the effects
OF the dumping of refuse in the river. The
bass for which the stream famous,
has almost been eXterminated. he said, and
the people living along the river have suf-
fered in many ways.
