DOGS scoRNED BY COYOTES
Show No Hesitancy in Visiting Chicken
Coops; Five Of the Raiders
Are Trapped.

Grass Valley, Cal.-Five coyotes and
two wildcats were trapped within a
few days in Penn valley by Will Tlsh.
er. During the past several months
the dogs all over the country have
been muzzled and the coyotes seem to
have realized that their privileges In
the foraging line were increased
They ventured close to the houses,
and appeared to have no fear of the
muzzled dogs.
But now that the fear of rabies has
passed, the farmers have removed the
muzzles, and for a night or two the
dogs brought down several coyotes, al
though it required stiff fight in some
instances.
Other farmers in that section have
been successful in trapping the ami
mails, and in addition to Kidding them
selves of these chicken thieves and
pests they will receive a bounty Of
$3.50 each for the coyote scalps.

that scratched myself until bled.
There were times when / stood up all
