KICKED A COYOTE TO DEATH
Eight Have Fallen Before Kansas Lad
One Was Slain With the Leg
Bone OF a Cow

Santa F'e, Kan.-Ray Ward has
killed another coyote. Ward, who is
fifteen years old, is Haskell county's
prize coyote slayer. He sprang into
the limelight few weeks ago when ne
killed his first coyote by chasing it
down On his COW pony and in a des-
perate struggle killing it with the
thigh bone of COW, taken from a pile
Of bones lying nearby on the prairie.
Since then he has killed eight of the
beasts, chasing each until it was eX-
hausted. The second victim was kicked
to death. In the last chase Ray was
armed with a rife. When the coyote
fell exhausted on the prairie the boy
dismounted to shoot it. He was so
nervous from the exciting chase he
was afraid to trust his unsteady aim.
so he dubbed the animal to death with
the gun stock.
Since killing his first coyote the lad
has had letters from all over the Uni
ted States Some of the writer's ex-
tend congratulations, others want fur,
Their particulars, one wants a job on
the Ward ranch and two seek to trace
relationship, one of whom proved to be
an aunt whose whereabouts has been
unknown to the Ward family for more
than ten years.

KNOT HOLE CAUSES A SUIT
Held Mans Wooden Leg Fast in The
Rain, and Pneumonia Was
the Result.

Smith, La.-Elmo ,Buckworth, one
legged citizen of the community, has
filed suit against the city corporation
for $245.36, The alleged damages are
to repay the claimant for a hard case
Of pneumonia from which he recently
recovered and which. he asserts, was
brought on through the city's careless
ness
Early in June Mr.. Buckworth was
walking down Elm street on his wood
en- leg and the other one Rain began
and he started to run for shelter. As
he plugged along his timber limb went
through knot hole iii the wooden
sidewalk, where it held fast. In spite
OF all he could do, Mr. Buckworth was
unable to loosen his artificial member.
He was drenched to the skin, and
took cold in the temperature drop that
came on the heels of the shower The
wood Of the sidewalk swelled with the
dampness and held the hickory peg SO
firm that all hope of saving it was
abandoned and it was amputated just
above where the ankle would have
been.
Mr.. Buckworth went home immedi-
ately and took to his bed. The case of
pneumonia soon climbed in with him
He points out that it was entirely the
fault of the city and would never have
happened if good lumber, free from
knot holes, had been used in the
walks.
The So cents was added on for the
wooden leg, which was an old one and
had suffered much depreciation in
value.
