KILLING COYOTES

ants and Coyote Sent Dr.. Mack
Had the Rabies

The work of eXterminating the co.
votes down i'll Humboldt county is OH
in earnest. E. r. Sans for the United
States government is in charge of the
campaign and has covered the county
with his assistants.
The coyote that was killed about
TWO weeks ago at the Rutherford
ranch on the head OF the North Fork
did not reach DR.. Mack at the Univers.
tty. 1t was sent down to Constable
McMurtrey and he took it TO the ex-
press office.
But the express company declined to
accept the box containing the dead
coyote unless it's condition was vouch-
ed for. The constable felt that he
could not hold an autopsy over the re-
mains. So he took the body TO the
dump pile and burned it.
The coyote undoubtedly had rabies.
a coyote just sent in from Humboldt
was found to have had rabies. No
word has yet been received from Mr..
Rutherford as to the fate of the shep-
erd dog that was bitten by the CO.
vote. No doubt he is keeping the dog
tied up.
The way to eXterminate this CO.
vote menace is to observe the strict
est precautions. Dogs are seen on
the streets of Elko every day unmuz.
zled. 1t is impossible for the officers
to enforce the order of the county
commissioners unless they receive the
cooperation of the people. The Silver
State of yesterday said:
"E. X. Sans, of the government bio.
logical service, who has taken charge
of the rabid coyote situation in north,
ern Nevada, has organized his force
for this county as follows:
ID. L. Cooper, Pleasant Valley, will
work in south part of Grass Valley: N
]. Hayden will have charge of the
northern part of Grass Valley; G.. w
Blakeslee, of PARADISE Valley, will look
after that section: w. II. Monroe, OF
DEMO, will work south from that town
and J. G. Evans, of McDermitt, will
have charge; F.. l.. Uuttrell will work
around Winnemucca; T. Kramer, OF
Reno, will work between that city and
Lovelock.
Coyote Affected
With Rabies.
This morning Mr. Sans received
word from w. B. Mack, of the state
laboratory, saying that the brain OF
the coyote sent him the first of the
week had been examined and found to
be affected with rabies.
This brain was taken from the head
of the coyote killed on the Klucny
ranch last Sunday by J. Deiss"

IS POUNDS OF BLOOD

IS the average quantity in a healthy
adult, but it is the quality Of the blood
that determines our strength to resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion to study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take a spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals, because Scott s
Emulsion is rich blood-food that will
increase both quantity and quality of
the blood while it warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
When multitudes of people are to-
day taking SCOTS Emulsion to avert
winter sickness, and are giving it to
their children, it is careless to neglect
its benefits Look out for substitutes.
