While going out to round up a few
ponies last Thursday afternoon, Nelson
Langdon caught sight of a coyote on the
prairie and just for the sport of it gave
chase. The shopping bunch of fur tried
its best to make good an escape but the
saddle horse was too swift and the
/ wrangler's rope too sure to allow any
thing of the sort and in less time than
it takes to read about it the rope had
encircled the coyotes neck and gray fur
was a good subject for a bounty at the
county auditors Office. Mr.. Lanadon
ran his horse over the coyote twice be-
fore the animal was roped and dragged
to its death. This in not an unusual
stunt in some localities, although it is
a, little out Of the ordinary to rope one
of these animals 50 near town. This
same coyote had been hanging around
the Lanedon farm for, two years and
during that time he'd been able to
escape several rife sho Is without injury
but he has finallyse got to the end of his
rope. -. ~ u
