FINDS WOLF IN DINING ROOM.
Father Shoots Animal as 1t Leaps at
Child.

Dodge City, Kan, March as. G.
Tucker of this city has just received
the details of one of the most remark
able experiences with that deniZen of
the plains-the coyote-that the his
tory of western Kansas affords. Mrs.
B. F. Rains. who lives on farm about
16 miles northwest of this place,
phoned an account of the episode,
which took place at the home of A.
M. Wright, a near neighbor.
Mrs. Wright and her little 9-year-
old daughter were sitting in the par
lor when the phone, which is in the
dining room, rang. Mrs. Wright sent
the little girl to the dining room to
answer the phone. AS the child enter
ed the rom she was confronted by a
large, hungry looking coyote which
was standing beside the dinner table
staring at her. She was too fright
ened to run but managed to scream
loud enough to attract the attention of
her father who was in the yard. Mr..
Wright got into the room with a shot
gun Just in time to shoot the beast as
it was jumping over the table at the
little girl.
An investigation showed that the
animal had been pursued by party
of hunters and that in its desperation
it had jumped through the glass pane
of the front door and. probably at
tracted by the smell of meat, was on
it's way to the kitchen when found in
the dining room by the little girl.

LATE WHEAT LOOKS FINE.
Pioneers Believe Kansas Is Sure of
Bumper Crops.

Rozel, Kan, March 2S.-The late
wheat in this section is in fine condition
according to reports from the country
districts and most of the farmers are
still optimistic about the prospects for
spring planting. It is the almost an
animous opinion of the early pioneers
that prospects for a bumper crop have
never been better in this region. The
continued impassability of the roads
has made the prices of grain and hay
soar. Wheat is selling at AZ cents
above test and prairie hay at $500,
while alfalfa has hit the record break
ing mark of $500 marke. price with
some few sales recorded at $500. The
only trouble with the market is that
there is hardly anything being hauled.
