KILLS RAB|D COYOTE
WITH A HAMMER

Dell Prince, who is employed on the
Dewar ranch, three miles EAST of town.
had a thrilling experience with a
rabid coyote last Friday. He was re-
pairing a fence when he heard a noise
behind him and turning saw a coyote
approaching him. He quickly climbed
the fence and the animal came up to
where he was and raised on its hind
legs, placing its fore legs on a fence
board. Prince reached down with the
hammer he had in his hand and killed
1t by a blow on the head.
Prince says the animal was froth-
Ing at the mouth, and its eyes were
bullying and infiamed, and he is sure 1t
was mad. He said he was SO scared
that he nearly fell off the fence on top
of the animal and it was an expert.
ence he would not like to repeat.
He scalped the animal and buried
the body.

day from their trip over the state by
auto. They report having had a most
enjoyable time and that generally
speaking the roads were fairly good.
The worst stretch that they %encount.
cred was on the Lincoln Highway
from Fernley to Austin.
While on his trip. which was in no
sense political, Speaker Mcbride re-
ceived much encouragement to enter
the race for congress. He is not in.
clined, however, to make a try for
that office. but intends to devote his
time to his personal interests.
Should he later decide to ask for
the nomination 1t WOULD be a great
fight between him and Congressman
Roberts. Mr.. Mcbride. is clean, sober
and industrious and has many warm
friends.
