MAD COYOTES ARE MENACE
TO CATTLE INDUSTRY
Death of rs Have Already Been
Caused in Jordan Valley.

John Glover was in the city from
Jordan Valley the latter part of last
week. Mr.. Glover informed The
Tribune that the mad coyotes of
eastern Oregon were becoming a seri-
Gus menace to the cattle industry. In
and around Jordan Valley mad coy
otes indirectly caused the death of
Is head of cattle. These coyotes
VIII attack anything even men. They
bit the animals which in turn become
mad or crazy and it is necessary to
kill them
Mr.. Glover is in hopes that BY
means of proposed bounty of $500
per head which the state will offer
the coyotes may be exterminated.
