J. l.. Hubbell of Apache county, a delegate to the late republican convention in Bisbee. is deserving of word of special credit, says the Republican. Mir. Hubbell has been recognized as an honest and earnest advocate of jointure, but he told the members of the convention that he W $ first of all an Arizonan and republican. He believes in the achievements of his party and appreciates the necessity of harmon ious party action in the accomplish ment of all reforms. When he saw the almost universal attitude of his party on the statehood question and the choice came between good re- publican government for Arizona and joint statehood, his inclinations toward the later were overcome. However Mir. Hubbell may be de- pended upon in the interest of his party candidates. At least that is the impression he made upon his fellow delegates, and there was on more enthusiastic member of the convention than Mir. Hubbell.

self that there was no other spot within his
reach.
On they came, the foremost pursuer keep
ing the inside track, as if he knew that the
game was almost in his grasp.
The other coyote was fully dozen yards
behind the first, and he did not try to make
the distance less. He expected that the jack
would dodge his mate soon, and then, as the
desperate rabbit doubled on his course, he
stood fine chance to pick him up.
Suddenly l bethought me that good gun

and for the moment my chance of taking

But not yeti With lightning-like move
ment the jack valuted clean fifteen feet to
one side, and, lighting upon his hind-feet,
darted straight at the hindmost coyote, who,
understanding the trick, gave a sharp yelp,
and leaped twice his own length into the air.
But he leaped too quick, and instead of 60
ing over the enemy at flying jump, as he
probably intended, the cunning jack darted
like an arrow directly under its baffed foe,

thought.
But no! He was not yet willing to risk

toned beat, and to trust once more to the
dodging tactics. The next time, perhaps, he
might gain greater. advantage.
On ne came again, dashing almost under the
nose of the leading coyote, who had cut the
angle of his beat, and now hugged his heels,
with fierce yelps of triumph at this new ad-
vantage.
AT last they came nearly straight toward
me, and the poor jack looked as though he

must dodge soon or submit to his fate.

body at every leap to the keen eyes OF the
pursuer, while the little Cotton -taip scoots
through among the punches or stalks and cas-
lily escapes.
But with these advantages in his favor, the
coyote finds that the cost in exertion fully
equals the gain of catching jack, for, even
when there are three of them together, 1t
will take half hours hard run, whereas by
little patient watchfulness, each one might
have secured fat prairie dog at some one OF
the numerous towns about.
Nevertheless, have seen two coyotes man
age to race after a feet-footed jack with such
consumate skill that they had all but won,
and would, indeed, had | not interrupted the
game.
1t happened in this wise:
l had been out with my gun and secured
quite bag of quail and small rabbits, both
of which are to be found very numerous
among the oak groves which dot the prairie,
or along the timbered streams which empty
into Red River.
About sundown / started on my return to
the cabin of my friends, some three-quarters
of a mile distant, and was wading through
a belt of broom grass, when heard the sharp

knew there was patch of mesquit just ahead,
the crown of slight "rise," and divining
that my yelping friend had Jumped" jack
from bunch of mesquit, hastened forward
in order to witness the tactics of which had
often been told
A few hurried steps brought me within full
view of the scene, and dropping out of sight
in the edge of the tall grass | watched the
flying animals with the keenest interest.
There were two coyotes and they had start
ed large jack, as big as four common rabbits,
and cinging to his favorite beat, the fright
ened animal was making a circle that would
bring him along the edge of the mesquit, with
in dozen yards of my hiding place.
His relentless pursuers were, rapidly cutting
him off by running in straight line.
One of them was about twenty yards behind
the other, and the head hunter yipped with
excitement as he saw the advantage of the
chase. Evidently this was going to be an easy
victory, and the hind runner probably licked
his chops in anticipation as he saw his friend
nearing the poor mule-ear at every leap.
"Why doesn't the rabbit cut through the
grass and take to another mesquit patch"
thought I.
But the poor fellow knew better than my

tory attainments Of the Western boy, as are

In regard to latitude, the coyote has prob
ably the widest range of any of our North
American animals. From the head waters OF
the Mackenzie River to the plains of Central
America, he inhabits all the prairie country,
and prowls among the foothills and passes OF
nearly the whole Rocky Mountain system.
He is the inveterate foe of all the rabbit
species, and wherever these little creatures
are exposed to his visits, the tireless and per-
sistent energy with which they are hunted
renders their life burden-a perpetual strug-
gle and race for bare existence.
There is one species, however, known as the
iack-rabbit, or "mule-ear," which inhabit the
great plains on each side the Rocky Mountains,
that generally prove more than a match, in
sacled, endurance and cunning, for their wary
foe
Give the jack-rabbit good road, and he is
proverbially the best runner of the West, even
the feet-footed antelope being compelled to
yield the palm to his long-eared neighbor, and
the greyhound must be both well-bred and
well-trained if he succeeds in taking in" the
jack.
The coyote has learned better than to hunt
alone, when he gets so desperately hungry as
to undertake the catching of the mule-ear. The
hunting is done by twos or threes, and set
of tactics adopted which are often, though not
always, successful.
In Northern Texas the conditions are pecu
liarly favorable to the chase of the jack-much
more so than further out upon the plains
where the short buffalo and mesquit grass Of

his long hind legs. The mesquit patches, up

on all sides by the tangled bunch grass, or,
still worse, by acres of broom grass tall as
