Geo. b. &

is something new for any part of the
United States, or the world for that
matter, but that's what Ed. Pannsing,
Ed. Cook, John and Gene Ewalt did
this week. On Tuesday evening they
toook the big Buick car, four-cylinder
thirty. from the Cook and Planning
establishment, and went to the bot
toms for a goose-hUnt. Along tow
ards evening they saw a coyote start
out across the ice on the bottoms, and
took after it. The Cheyenne bot
toms this fall contained more water
than in any time for years, and there
is practically a lake there six miles
averages about a foot of water in
depth, though in many places it is
much more. The ice there lis about
six inches thick, and the big machine
went across it safely. The boys
caught the coyote, and had such d
good. chase that they hunted up an
other and ran it down. They used
turning too often, and when close
enough shot it with shot-guns It
was dark by that time, so they CAM
home. and went out the next day for
a real coyote chase. In four hours
they get five coyotes. Ed. was driv-
ing, and he, as we'll as the others, says
that it is the greatest sport in the
world The car had chains and
skidded very little, though it takes
quarter of a mile to turn on the ice
1t took good shooting to keep the
coyotes headed right. Only one coy
ote got away. and he couldn't have
done so If it hadn't been for the start
he had. Some of the brutes develop
ed a speed of forty miles an hour. The
incident is something that we believe
never happened before and is not like
ly to happen again."

AGED FATHER TO
MAKE GOOD SONS
SPURIOUS CHECKS
DIR. Hubbell Will Have to Face
New Haven Authorities, After
Clearing up Local Matters

AT the request Of Attorney Louis
KOrnblut, representing Marvin D.
Hubbell, the physician held in bail of
$500 for lIttering a worthless check,
the trial of the doctor, scheduled for
today in the city court was cOntin-
ued until Saturday.
While it was not stated in court
what was the purpose Of continuance,
it Is known that it was to give the
prisoners aged father. DR.. ]. Hubbell
of Sherman, an aged practitioner, an
opportunity to make restitution to
James Feeley, and others who ad-
vanced cash upon the checks given
by the prisoner.
Dr. Hubbell was taken back to the
county Jail after a brief session Of the
city court. He has not been able to
secure the $500 bail exacted for his
appearance in court. 1t is reported
that the friends who seek to square
the prisoners Indebtedness believe it
wise that he should remain in Gus
tody.
The victims of the doctor in this
city are said to be willing to let the
matter drop with the settlement Of
the claims against him, but the pre-
sence here today of Detective - Nc
Avoy of New Haven, who came here
to fo restall the possibility of the doc
tors getting beyond his reach, led the
local authorities to conclude that even
if the case is dropped here, he will be
hailed into court in New Haven.
The amount involved in the COM
plant against the doctor is $40, but
he is reported to have figured in nu-
merous other bad check transactions
aggregating several hundreds of dol
lars.

he was dead in the house, because
once before when in domestic trouble
he made an unsuccessful attempt

Two weeks ago his wife went to live
with married daughter, living in the
Rroo11lawn district, Fairfield. Last
week she prepared to claim a part of
the household effects. for she had de-
ternlined to leave Henaghan for good.
Sunday night Henaghan called on his
wife at Brooklawn and made a futile
attempt to effect a reconciliation.
Quitting the house angrily he told his
wife she might call the next day and
take all the furniture she wanted.
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Henaghan
and her son Stephen called at the
house and found the doors locked.
With nlisgivings they went to police

THE CROPS NOT GUILTY.
EalIacy of the Current Explanation of
High Call Money Rates.

Addressing the Pennsylvania Bank
ers' Convention in 1900, Congressman
Vreeland said:
Under our present system, We have
distress nearly every year during our
crop moving period. Frequently in
ordinary years we see money on call
go up to so. as and 100 per cent
This is a fair specimen of the kind
of facts that is being handed out by
highest rates for call money, during
the crop moving period since the era
of high finance (1S9S) that I find any
record of occurred September 80,
1902. when they reached 35 per cent;
and September 5, 1906, when they
reached so per cent. The highest
rates were: December Is, 1899. 1856
per cent; December 26, % and 20.
when they were respectively 35, 1875
and 10 per cent: in December 1906,
81 per cent The highest rate in
The year before, in the. crop period,
II did not get above per cent In
she summer of 1910 the rate did not
get above 3 IL per cent. 1t did not
TO any higher until mid-Novem Der
This period, between December IS
md January s. is the time when the
crops have been marketed when mon
ry is alleged to have been redu6ant
N the country and is supposed to be
coming to Wall Street for investment.
Therefore il Is certain that crop de-
nands had absolutely nothing to do
with these higher rates And it is
equally certain that the only possible
cause of such higher rates was the
railing of loans by the foreign bank
rrs who were lending the money!

prizes and the excellent music Watch

Satisfaction means peace of mind,
happiness, contentment The content

live than the man or woman who is
never satisfied. Satisfaction can only
be realized through the proper use and

directly in front Of the team, caught
up the cripple in his arms as he shot
headforemost through space. The
