Clerk Peter differed in opin. ion concerning the ancestry of the an imals sported the hides and lIeiscr in. sisted that he was entitled to the $20 bounty on lObo hides for at least one of the pelts. 4 half hours discussion of furs and skins of bounty animals followed, but the veteran hunter and trapper failed to convince the good naturcd clerk of the board that the skins were ever worn through winter by any but coyotes.
 One of the hides was tinged with silver gray for which Heiser insisted it was formerly owned by real live timber wolf The hair of the other was mixed with n dull yellow fur showing that it's former owner was m. questionably n member of the coyote family.
