JIM FISHER GETS A COYOTE.
Forced to Bay by Dogs After Three
Hours Run.

Jim Fisher had the best success
of any of the coyote hunters and
bassed a big fellow Wednesday after
a three hours run. He brought the
animal down town Thursday morning
and it is large enough for a wolf,
and in fact looks more like a young
wolf than a coyote. Coming back
from the hunt, he jumped the animal
near the Oak street bridge, just out
side Greeley. Fisher has couple OF
good dogs that kept the coyote on Its
feet for some three hours and finally
forced him to make stand about
three miles from Farmers Spur. The
dogs made short work of the prairie
scavenger, and Fisher arrived just
in time to save the pelt from being
torn to pieces He got within rifle
range a couple of times, and found
on examination that he had hit the
animal once. the bullet passing
through its nose, but with little dam
age.
Many Of the men who took part in
the hunt Wednesday say they saw
several coyotes, and IL the other
lines had been guarded as we'll as the
line bordering Greeley, they would
have brought back plenty Of pelts.
There were some forty or fifty men
started from the west line, which il
closest to Greeley, and not over
dozen men altogether guarded the
other three lines. Anyone who has
ever hunted coyotes knows these
conditions were the same as hunt
ing for a needle in a straw stack

Scab in Sheep.
(severance Specially

A number of feeders between here
and Eaton will have to dip their
sheep as the result of the visit of
State Inspector Mayo Wednesday.
Mr.. Mayo came in response to call
sent out by the feeders themselves,
Who saw that scab was getting prev
alsnt among their flocks. An inter-
esting bit of information in connec-
tion with this is that all the infected
sheep were received from the same
shipping point in New Mexico. OF
course, the consignment arrived with
a clean bill of health. but in view OF
the fact that sheep received from
other points in New Mexico or from
other states are in good health, al
though some of them are being fec
on ranches neignboring to the onei
where the scabby sheep are, 1t II
probable that the disease was con
tracted before the sheep were
brought into Colorado. Feeling J!
running high in the matter, as dip
ping is equivalent to two weeks los
of time in feeding. making the fin
ished product two weeks late in be
ing placed on the market. As th'
dipping will begin at once, in spit
of the bad weather, there ar
chances for actual losses in conse
quence of the heavy storm.

Sheriff Alexander Nesbit. Under
sheriff T W. Baird and Edward Det-
tlebach, all OF Denver. are about to
place this wheel upon the market.
They claim there will be no more
punctured tires and the heavy ex-
pense of buying new tires for the ma
chine will be obviated, for the pneu-
matte tires are not on the rim of the
wheel, but half way between it and
the axle.
The invention. it is expected, will
be hailed with delight, for it can be
applied to everything, from the light
runabout to the heaviest automobile
trucks. There will be no spokes.
and this is another advantage. The
wheel looks as if it is solid.

few days in this celebration but
none the less inspiring were the eS-
ercises which followed the supper
while the company was still seated
at the tables. which had been srac-
iouslv served by modern Priscillas
in Puritan garb.
Mr.. Doane spoke briefly of the old
New England homes, commendins
some of the customs which are nov
neglected in the crowding material
ism of our days. That stirring
hymn, "The Breaking Waves Dashed
High on a Stern and Rock-bouni
Coast" was then enthustastically
sung by double quartet. and even
Elder Brewster's singers could not
have rendered it more e6ectively'
Selections from "Snowbound" were
read by Mrs. Hugh, in
her own attractive way. Nobody else
reads just like Mrs. Hugh. and we all
enjoy immensely her simple, effective
style. Miss Hubbell sang very
sweetly that beautiful ballad. "Flow
Gently, Sweet Alton" and . vain
attempt was made to connect it with
the sturdy Pilgrim split through the
staunch Presbyterianism OF the land,
which inspired it. 1t was finally de-
cided that it was sung because 1t is
one of Professor Miller's fayorite
hymns"
The address of the evening was
made by DR.. Guerdon Miller OF the
Normal faculty. 1t was a scholarly
and intensely interesting address up
on THE Effect of Puritan Ideals
Upon Life" and was we'll WORTHY of
the historical student who delivered
it, and the men whose splendid vir-
tues and independence it set forth.
After a prayer and the singing OF
the doxology. the gathering broke up,
declaring that this celebration must
be an annual feature of the life OF
the Congregational church. The af-
fair was entirely informal and its
very simplicity added greatly 10 its
enjoyment.

PROBLEM
IS SOLVED
Washington Man Has Found
a Way to Bleach a
Negroes Skin.

Washington, July 3--Eed d. Conn.
probation officer of the Juvenile
Court, believes he has discovered a
solution of the race problem, sucn as
not even scientists who have gone
into the matter deeply have thus far
been able to work out.
His theory IS that certain disease
which affllcts negroes, turning their
skin white, is caused by a bacillus.
and he believes that by isolating the
germ and innoculating the colored
man with the serum he may be en-
,abled to turn the entire race white.
Mr.. Copp, in the discharge OF his
duty, says he has observed three
cases in which the skin or negroes
is turning white He has been keep
Ing track of these cases. He describes
his theory in the following state
lment:

walton the skin Of the patient, not
only on the face, but on the body as

If We can prove that the whitening
of negroes skins in rare cases is

sible to cultivate that bacillus and

train of thought. Supposing it We're

Germany's Way of Sizing People Up
Available Chiefly to Doctors.

Germany has taken up the pastime
of reading character and telling for
tunes by the tongue. Somebody mas
been making study of the organ OF
speech and has discovered that 1t ID
full of indications.
A long tongue is said to denote
openness of character. it suggests
generosity and free handedness. It's
possessor makes friends and enemies
easily but doesn't save money.
When the tongue is long and thick
the openness degenerates into a ten
dency to gossip and scandal. The fu-
ture of the owner is beset with trou-
bles of his own making. 1t also indi-
Gates flightiness and INCONSISTENCY.
Short tongues indicate secretiveness
and dissimulation. Their owners
make good detectives and attorneys.
The owner may acquire some money
by economy and guile but has not
largeness of spirit to make a great
fortune. Thin pointed tongues are
found in difiident people who do not
succeed in life.
Short and broad ones accompany
craft and falsehood; the person who
has such tongue is compelled by 1t
to deceive and betray, whatever effort
he may make to keep straight.
The vibrant, quavering tongue de-
notes the artistic temperament. Bril-
liant carmine hue is a sign of long
life. pale pink tongue denotes weak
ness of character and delicacy Of con-
stitution.

newspaper. st is lucky that II is only

that we stick out our tongues"
