CHARMED LIFE 0F
 \ VICIOUS COYOTE
Settlers Preparing to Go After His
 Scalp.

The farmers living east of the In- dian school are preparing to organize coyote drive The object is not to kill all the coyotes in the country but to rid the country of one partic- uar renegade coyote that violates all rules of ordinary animal warfare and that seems to bear a charmed life. He has been assailed by old shoes, brick bats, birdshot and bull lets, but somehow lodges them all and comes back regularly whenever he gets hungry for another bullet, tame duck or whatever looks good to him. He isn't doing a great deal of damage just now for he has eaten up about all the poultry in that section, but the settlers hope to raise some more next season and to that end will organize as soon as they can get around to it and make systematic search for his lair.
 The greatest sufferer from the in- cursions of this coyote is a family living only a mile or so from the Indian school. A couple of weeks ago the family COW was separated from her calf and placed on the other
 
 as usual. this time in broad day light. The old COW knew where the calf was and seemingly knew of the ravenous appetite of the coyote. Fear ing >the latter was after her off spring she became greatly excited and tore around until she smashed down the wire fence, incidentally badly lacterating her udder. The lady of the house ran to the as- sistance of the COW and calf and then undertook to milk the COW with the result that the animal though of gentle disposition was pained by the operation and kicked the woman in the face. on the side and for that matter pretty nearly all over. She was painfully though not seri- ously hurt. but had to go to bed for a day or so.
 Since then the coyote has ap- peared almost daily or nightly. with the result that about a hundred chickens have -heen stolen and the marauder has been fired at frequent ly to no purpose. Last Sunday a few neighbors organized and beat over big field of weeds where the wild dog was supposed to live but he could not be found. The settlers now propose to organize and work the country over until they get Mir Coyotes scalp. no matter how much trouble it is.

London, Dec. PA remarkable
series OF political assassinations OF
personages high in office is reported
today from widely separated points.
In Seoul, Korea. Premier Vie Eye,
head OF the Korean cabinet, was
stabbed 10 death by Vie Chain Yog,
another Korean, as the apparent re-
suit OF Intense feeling in Kerea

In ST. Petersburg, the chief of the

TO atoms by the explosion of bomb,
supposedly thrown by anarchists.
At Bombay, British India. the chief
magistrate of Mask. Arthur NJ. T..
Jackson, while attending theatrical
performances was assassinaied by q
native for revenge and presumably as
part OF a seditious movement against
British official authority which is
menaced by a dangerous element di.
reeted against the existing regime.
Colonel Karpoff was lured 70 a

TO pieces by bomb exploded pgesum-

Whatever may have been the imme-

not fail to increase the ever present
fear Of an uprising against British
