off the grade. Woodring saw that she
was going over. Slowly and gently
the lead wagon turned over on it's
side.
Woodring had plenty of time to
jump to the upper side and save him
self, still holding on to the horses.
The momentum carried the overturned
wagon some four or FIVE feet and then
the horses came to a stop. No one
was hurt.
But the 200 sacks of -four In the lead
wagon went all tumbling down the
mountain. And only two sacks burst
open. The mill at Hylton must use a
pretty good sack.
This was three o'clock yesterday ar-
ternoon. Woodring righted his wagon
and reloaded his -four. He repaired
his brake with balling wire. And the
couplin pole to the trail wagon was
broken. He repaired this. About nine
o'clock last night Woodring pulled in
to town, little the worse for the acci.

GARCIA STARTS USING
SAGEBRUSH MONDAY
Experiment To Be Made to Determine
Value Of Pohob In Use For
Tanning Leather

G. S. Garcia will send out men the
first of the week to bring in sage.
brush for use in his tannery. The
experiment is to be made in one OF
the vats to detrmine II sagebrush can
be put to economic use in tanning
leather.
Mr.. Garcia had thought out this
problem for himself and was wonder
ing why sagebrush could not be used
to produce the necessary tannic acid
before he heard from Sam Davis. He
has had other evidence that convinces
him the sagebrush will effect a saving
over the imported oak tan bark.
Mr.. Garcia yesterday began using
the first leather turned out in the Ell.
ko tannery. His famous saddles will
now be all homemade from the hide
of the steer to the silver mounted
product.

SOME ONE TO BLAME

Yesterdays Wells Herald reports
the following piece of negligence on
the part of some one:
Many dogs are constantly seen
upon the streets of Wells wearing no
muzzles of any character, some are
seen muzzled and a very few stroll
around with mere strap around the
nose. The commissioners have or
dered that these strap muzzles, which
permit any dog freely to open his
mouth, are not sufficient protection
against such animals and have de.

COYOTE CHASES
MAN RAK|NG HAY
Exciting Time On Ranch at Elburz
When Rabld Animal Tries To
Bite Hay Rake Driver

A mad coyote swapping at his back
not five feet away was the experience
Thursday afternoon of a river of a
hay rake on the c. Glaser ranch at
Elburz three miles this side of Hal
leck.
Halleck Mayer who runs the pump
for the Southern Pacific at Elburz sta
ton was down last night and gives an
account Of the affair.
The driver sitting on the rake was
all unconscious of his danger until
his horse began to shy.
The driver had passed a clump of
willows and the mad coyote came out
from among the willows and began to
follow the man on the rake.
DR.. Griffith and Daniel Glaser some
distance away in the field driving
mowers saw the coyote and shouted
but could not make themselves heard.
The coyote was raving wildly ana
turned round and round. But still it
came on after the man swapping it's
jaws until the sound scared the horse.
1t was then that the driver turned
and saw the coyote biting at the rake
right at his heels. He made one leap
and stood up on the seat.
The driver had only monkey
wrench at hand and with this he pre-
pared to defend himself. The coyote
circled around and around trying to
get at the driver.
In the meantime Griffith and Glaser
had armed themselves with clubs and
started to the rescue.
Whether alarmed or not by the pres
ence of the other two approaching
men the coyote suddenly took its
leave. 1t fell into a ditch in it's raw
ings and for a moment was lost to
view.
But it came out again a quarter of
a mile away and started down the val
ley.
telephone message was sent to Ell

to look out for mad coyote.
guns but that was the last seen of the
coyote. Men followed along the river
next day but no trace of the coyote
was found.
There is hardly a day passes that
fishing parties do not go out from Ell
ko up the river toward Halleck. 1t is
we'll that they should be on their
guard.
Mad coyotes have been killed with.
in the town limits of Winnemucca
The danger is just as great here in
Elko.
Mr.. Mayer says that hardly a day
passes that coyotes are not seen
around Elburz, but this is the first
instance where one appeared to have
the rabies and tried to attack a man

1T happened right above our camp"
the soldier said. "Anti-aircraft guns

which latter proved to be a German

THE chase continued in full view

ever be brought down? We wondered.
He's up above our men, cried some
one. 1t was a sight l would not have

air, thousands OF feet above the
ground.
I'VE rested our eyes for a moment
and looked again. They were still
dodsing and twisting and coming near
er. Our men were on top again and
we breathed little easier. Then a
sudden twist, the German veered and
volplaned down five hundred feet. An
other twist and the taube fell like
wounded bird.
There's mass OF broken metal
and two graves near our camp that
tells the tale. These air fights are
not uncommon in Northern France.
And the end is nearly always death"
