NEW SPORT ON PRAIRIES
Motor Car 10 Used In Chasing Fleet
Jack Rabbits and the Willy
Coyote.

Topeka, Kan.-The faithful horse Is
going into the discard In Kansas as a
necessary adjunct OF q hunting party
or the chase Of horse thief Motor
cars are becoming so plentiful In the
state and they have been found so
much better In chasing the feet Jack
rabbit or driving the common coyote
to Its lair or catching those who take
horses and mules from stables with
out the owners permission that the
horses are being relegated to the rear.
Rabbit and wolf hunts have long
been common sport in Kansas. Men
would go out with horses and dogs
and have rabbit or wolf drive Now
a party OF a dozen men in three or
four motor cars goes out and makes
more successful drives than a hundred
men with horses.
A wolf hunt with a motor car IL
about as exciting sport as any one
would care to indulge In. In middle
and western Kansas are thousands Of
acres Of wheat and corn lands with
out fence. Often one can drive Ave
encounter few fences except those
around a small pasture on each farm.
Motorists can drive miles and miles
across the prairie lands Of the west.
ern half OF this state without running
into fence or creek or gully
1t Is not much trouble to stir I'D a
coyote or prairie wolf In western Kan
sas, and when the motor party sees
one the race begins. The coyote runs
in large circle. He does not dodge
back and forth or zigzag much, so II
is comparatively easy matter for the
driver TO keep right behind Mr..
Coyote. But that motor car must be
moving along at lively gait The
coyote can hump along across the
prairie at about 80 miles an hour, and
be can also do some tall squirting
when necessity demands.
In the days of coyote hunting with
horses and dogs the wolves were never
driven TO their dens But about an
hours driving with a motor car gives
the coyote about all the running be
cares for and he makes for his den
But his rest is not long. because the
hunters pour some gasoline into the
hole. the animal pops out, and the
chase is resumed across the country
until good shot ends the life OF the
