COYOTE RUNS AMUCK,
LYLE INVESTIGATES
ANIMAL MAY HAVE BEEN
AFFLICTED WITH RABIES
Little Boy, Two Dogs and Pig Bitten
by Animal-Boy and Dogs Sent to
Portland and Outcome VIII Be
Awaited.

DR.. w. H. Lytle, state sheep inspec-
tor and state veterinarian, returned
home this morning after having been
out upon an investigation Of a coyote
that had been killed in wallowa
county and was suspected of having
been rabid. The coyote had bitten
John Bosley, little boy living near
Flora, and also two dogs a pig and
goose. The boy Is now in Portland
for medical treatment and DR. Lytle
has recommended that he be sent to
San Francisco where there is a Pas
teur institute.
Upon his arrival at Flora DR.. Lytle
found that the coyote in question had
been completely burned. so he could
not determine from first hand infor-
nation whether or not the animal was
afflicted with rabies. However. he
secured the two dogs and the pig and
is now waiting to see how they will
fare. The pig was left at Flora,
while the two dogs were taken to
Portland and delivered to DR.. White,
secretary of the state board Of health.
Until further developments occur,
DR.. Lyle says it is impossible to say
whether or not the coyote was rabid.
He says it is possible the animal may
hav gotten an overdose of strychnine.
An overdose OF that poison would
have made the animal ravenously
hungry and might have brought on
the hysteria which caused him to run
amuck.
his is the second case Of this sort
that has been reported to the state.
veterinarian. The first case was re-
ported from BLY,, but in that case as
in the case at Flora. the coyote was
destroyed. In southern Idaho many
instances have been reported where
coyotes were suspected of being ra-
bid. Therefore the subject is one OF
Importance and DR. Lytle is determin-
ed to ascertain the facts in the pres
ent case as thoroughly as possible. If
the Flora coyote was rabid the sheep
dogs that were bitten will soon bear
evidence to that fact

St. Petersburg, Nov. 17.-Count
Tolstoi is still alive despite the reports
of his death. Authoritative advices
received today state that he lies with
fever at 100 degrees in a laborer's hut
at Astapova which has been his sick
room since he broke down aboard the
train. Hopes are held that he will re-
cover The first dispatch in which it
was alleged Tolstoi was dead was re-
ceived by Prince Oblensky and was
generally credited.
The reports from Astapova have
been conflicting throughout. The Off
cial diagnosis as given by the attend
ing physician Tuesday night was that
Tolstoi was suffering from an inflam-
nation of the lower lobe of the left
lung, but that no immediate danger
threatened. His heart action at that
time was said to be good, and his tenn
perature was practically normal. Only
the day before, according to the doc
tcrs, Tolstoi's temperature was 1o4
and he was in a delirious state. On
Wednesday the attending physicians
confirmed the original diagnosis but
added that the inflammation was
spreading and that the condition Of
the patient was critical, although not
hopeless.
His temperature during the night
rose TO 1896 and he had an attack OF
bleeding from the lungs.
Some time later it was reported
that his temperature had fallen to
the rannrt Of his
death and finally a message from
Astapova, that he had successfully
passed the crisis.

Corn was found in our country
where Indians used to live, and a

the corn, and the white man
asked the Indians for some of it,
and the Indians gave him some
Of the corn, and that's why we
call it Indian corn. First we
pillow the land, and then we plant
the corn, then it comes up. We
plant it in February or March.
1t is commercial crop in other
countries. When it is large and
green, and then you thin it, Then
you pillow it again. When the
rosen ears are large enough we
eat the rosen ears and can it.
Then we cut the tops and when
they are dry enough you tie them
and carry them on piles so you
don't drive over all the corn.
When it rains on the tops it gets
sandy and the cattle don't like it
as well as they like the other and
then you leave the corn till in
October, and then you gather it,
and sell some of it, and keep the
rest for your horses, chickens
and other animals, and bring
some of it into the mill, and they
grind it for you, and we make
corn bread and corn flakes.
When you get ready to plant corn
you don't take it out of the crib.
Maybe you will get a large ear.
But it is the only good ear around
1t, and that isn't but an earth
stealer and it takes all of your
trouble and work and is stealing
your land. So it is best to go
into a field and see that you get
q good sounding ear and large
and see that they are good stalks
around it with good ears. When
you want corn to plant you only
fake the middle part and leave
the rest on the ends, and don't
fake it beceuSe you don't no III
