MAD COYOTE SEASON ON.

August Broderson came down from
his sheep camp on Grouse creek the
first of the week and reports that
hydrophobia coyote was killed by one
of his herders and also four dogs that
were bitten had to be destroyed. The
story as told by Mr.. Broderson refutes
all denials to the effect that there have
been no mad coyotes.
According to the facts in this instance
coyote appeared at one of the Brod-
erson camps and Immediately attacked
one of the dogs. The herder sent other
dogs to help kill the wolf and in this
they succeeded but not until they had
been severely bitten. The coyote was
examined and found to have lost almost
all of his fur and having the appear
ance of being poisoned. Mr.. Broderson
was notified and ordered that the dogs
be locked up for period Of not less
than nine days to await developments
This was done and on the ninth day the
rabies made their appearance in one
of the CANNES while the other three
were suky and lifeless. The mad one
was fighting and frothing at the mouth.
He was observed for a time in order
that the men might learn something of
the actions of an animal so afflicted.
Having convinced himself and his men
that the dogs had gone mad Mr.. Brod-
erson had the entire four Immediately
dispatched. Others that are not known
to have encountered the coyote are be-
ing watched also and will be killed If
they show any of the symptoms.-Wei

REPORT RICH
PLACER STRIKE
Much Excitement at higgins
Over Rich Diggings on
Big Salmon.

Representative Fred Nihart, who came
down the Salmon river last week from
his home at Bull told the reporter
that he found considerable mining ex-
citement at the town of higgins as he
came through. The report of an ex-
ceedingly rich placer strike some forty
miles up the big Salmon had just been
brought to the town from what was
considered a reliable source, and the
citizens there were taking deep inter-
est in the matter. 1t was claimed that
the original discoverers had been try
ing to keep the strike in the dark, but
that the matter had leaked out and
others had gone out and substantiated
the report to such an extent that there
remained no doubt in the minds of the
leading citizens as to the truthfulness
of the find. There Is nothing surpris-
ing In such strike, for that country
has gold distributed throughout the
soil for miles all along the river, and
with the rich quartz leads known to
exist in that section it is one of the
most natural things in the world that
rich placer dggings should be found
along the river. The well known
Shorts Bar placer is only a little
way up the big Salmon from Higgins.

COTTONWOOD MEN BOUND OVER
Bles, Gibson and Doersch Held to Dis

The case from Cottonwood where
Peter Bies, Jack Gibson and George
Doersch We're brought before Probate
Judge DeIiaven on charge of resist
ing arrest at the hands of the city
marshall of Cottonwood drew a large
attendance of citizens from that place
both as witnesses and interested spec
tators, well as a number of local
spectators. The case occupied all of
Thursday and half the next day.
While Doersch in the first place was
supposed to be the principal offender
in assaultne the officer and was held
by the court under twice the bond OF
the other two-$l0O to $50 each-prior
To the preliminary, the court seemed
to change its mind after hearing the
evidence. and released him on his own
recognizance and held the other two

800 each This was the cause of con-
siderable adverse comment on the part
of the prosecutors and their friends
Doersch made excellent witness,
being very courteous in his answers and
conservative in his statements, con-
tending all the time that his only aim
in interfering with the officer was to
prevent the old man Bies from being
too roughly handled. He was supported
in his claim by the witnesses for the
defense, but the prosecuting witnesses
1 flatly contradicted this, some of them
testifying that Doersch struck the Of
/ ficer one or more times. Gibson ad-
mitted that he struck the officer, but
said he did so because he was beating
up his fatherinlaw. There WAS consid
cradle feeling over the case.

A GODSEND. LIE True.

In a recent dispatch to the Spokes-
man Review from Chesaw, Wash, It
is stated that a small black beattle is
destroying the Jim Hin mustard in that
locality and does not seem to be damag
ing any other vegetation. Two ranch
ers of that vicinity have captured and
bottled large number of the beattles
for exhibition purposes.
1t would seem that the people of that
section have fortune within their
grasp if they can only raise a few bill

many ranchers all over the country who
would be willing to pay good, round
price for something that would destroy
