officials of the state declare that the
event has stirred up much sentiment
for the preservation of game.
The herd was located at St An
thony, Idaho, after having been driven
from the former grazing grounds in
Wyoming. In 1t was a snow-white
heifer called Lady Whitebird, the most
graceful animal among the elk The
leaders of the herd were two big bulls
called Taft and Roosevelt Unlike
those for whom they were named they
were able to get along in peace, and
stood together to repel outsiders.
They held constant station at the door
of the car, and showed a desire to
fight when there was any sign of dan
ger. II was with difficulty that they
were put into the cars on which they
were shipped on sledges to the forest
reserve.

The Prize Crouch.

An Ohio town has a prize crouch,
who refuses to believe anything that
does not lie within the range OF his
own knowledge. He doubted the word
OF an acquaintance who told him about
seeing a number of robins during re-
cent cold snap in that section.
There Amt no robins around here
at this time of the year." he said, land
no one can make me believe they seen

At that very moment a robin hap
pened to fly into small tree near at
hand, and the friend pointed to 1t.

one. You'd do anything to make me

The two women were domestic ser

Wyoming Herd Transported by Train

Portland, Ore.-More than a score OF

taken in charge by the government
and distributed to places where they
would have a chance to live, have ar

COYOTES IN CHASE
Farmer and Daughter Have
Thrilling Ride in Kansas.
Pack Of Usually cowardIy Animals Get
Scent Of Meat in Wagon and
Make Attack, but Are Eluded
in Flight.

Meade, Kan.-F. A. Norris, his
daughter, Mrs. Beulah Robins, and
Mrs. w. o. Johnson, living in Gray
county, were chased by hungry coy
otes while driving to their home. 1t
was shortly after dark when they
started home by starlight. Shortly
after they crossed Crooked creek they
noticed several animals following
them. AT first they believed the pur-
slers were dogs Then others Joined
the pack and the party found them
selves being chased by a pack of hun
cry prairie coyotes.
Ordinarily the Kansas coyotes are
cowardly and seldom venture to follow
human beings, but Mr.. Norris had a
20: of fresh meat in the carriage, and
it is probable the hungry wolves got
tlis scent of this.
At first little attention was paid to
the wolves, but as the pack grew in
size and some Of the holder wolves
made dashes at the horses. the situa-
tion became more alarming.
Mr.. Norris was unarmed, but, sup
posing the coyotes could be easily
driven off, he stopped the team and
started back with a whip to lash the
animals. To his surprise, they showed
| fight and Jumped and snapped at him
/ in such a vicious manner that he
hurried back to the carriage, whipped
| up the team and made wild dash for
! the nearest settlement.
1t was in a sparsely settled section
of southern Gray county. Mr.. Norris
succeeded in checking. the pack for a
| time, by throwing out to them the
meat which he was carrying The
party finally reached home without
mishap further than a good scare.
1T is possible that they were 10
boes, or Texas timber wolves, which
are larger and fiercer than the coy
otes," said Mr.. Norris. Probably the
scent of the fresh meat rendered the
hungry wolves more ferocious than
they otherwise would have been"
