having left Parkersburg behind time,

selves from the train crew, and were
getting along elegantly until the station
of Eureka, four miles below this city,
was reached. At that point the train
was stopped for water. 1t was run
ming at high speed and was stopped
rather abruptly, which threw young
Porter from his position under the
train. His left foot was SO badly
crushed that amputation cannot be
avoided, and large piece of flesh
was bit out Of the leg at the back Of
the left knee. The train crew picked
the injured boy up and brought him to
this city. where he and his companions
were given over to the depot force.
The railroad company's local surgeon
was summoned and dressed the In
juries, rendering the unfortunate boy
as comfortable as possible. His father
who is well-to-do citizen Of Athens,
was notified and he is being held here
for word from him. His companions
seem greatly broken up, but remain at
his side ministering in any way they
can to his wants.

worst slums Of London. The road was
constructed at cost of 100000, 900

been invested in buying houses which

Over 1900 Killed.

The rabbit drive held at the
ranch of F. w. Gooding last Sat
urday afternoon was a grand sue
cess. Over 1000 rabbits were
killed in the corral and runway
and several hundred more in try
ing to make their escape while be-
ing driven into the corral.
While more rabbits were killed
than at first expected still fully
1000 escaped, owing to the small
number of people participating in
the drive.
Another drive is promised for
next Sunday afternoon when it is
expected that almost every rabbit
in the field will be killed.
The drive Sunday will take
place at three o'clock and all are

WooLcRowERs ORGANIZE
Steps taxed for the determination of
the Coyote

The sheepmen of this county
met last Sunday afternoon for the
purpose of devising ways and
means tor the determination OF the
coyotes.
1t seems the coyotes are more
numerous this year than ever be-
fore. and as there is no lnducemenl
for private individuals to kill them
the coyote bounty money having
all been drawn, and sheep and wool
being at such a high price this
year, the sheepmen have taken II
into their own hands and will do
everything in their power to exter-
inmate this pest.
At the meeting held Su day
Price Newman was elected presl-
dent and T. H. Gooding, secretary
treasurer. The secretary-treasurer
has sent the following letter to all
sheepmen in this county;
Shoshone, Idaho.
The Lincoln County Woolgrowers
association met and elected Price
Newman, President, and I. H.
(iooding, Secretary-Treasurer. The
object of the meeting was to devise
ways and means for the exterml-
nation of the coyotes.
We all realize that with the high
price of sheep and wool, that some
thing must be done toget rid OF
the coyotes, and at this meeting 1t
was decided to have the Secretary
send personal letters to all the
sheepmen in this county, urging
them to cooperate with us IN this
good work.
We desire to have men in 9ll
parts of the county, just as soon as
possible, and in order to do so, 1t
was decided to assess ourselves one
cent per head on all our sheep, one
half cent to be forwarded to the
Secretary-Treasurer on receipt OF
this letter, in order that we may
begin work at once. The county
will be divided into several Sec
tions and good men placed in each
section. Send all money'direct to
the Secretary-T Treasurer. Hoping
this will meet with your approval.
Yours,
Lincoln County Woolgrowers'
Association.
