.RANCHER ATTACKED BY
COYOTE
Frank Burns of Bramwell Stays
Beast After Fierce
Battle

Frank Burns, the Bramwell rancher
was on Friday attacked by a coyote
that acted strangely, and after a
fierce battle succeeded in dispatchine
it. A correspondent of The Index
sends in the following account of the
encounter:
Frank Burns is slowly recovering
from nervous attack which was
brought. on last Friday, when he did
battle with mad coyote. Frank was
sitting quietly reading when his
mother called his attention to a coyote
at the gate. AS Frank went out the
door the coyote grabbed fat hen
and Frank, thinking to fool the old
fellow out of his dinner, started after
him, but Mr.. Coyote just stood and
looked at Frank until they were with
in handshaking distance of each
other, when the coyote started off,
with Frank following at a respectful
distance until he had landed two bull
lets from his 80 in the coyote, which
did not stagger him. 1t then headed
for a fine Belgian mare and colt.
After sharp skirmish the horse
trotted off unharmed and the coyote
turned on Frank, chasing him across
the field to the bank of the Enter
prise ditch, where the sweet clover
is so high they lost sight of each
other. The coyote crossing the ditch
and not being able to sight the elemy
stopped and began maneuvering. when
he spied Frank on the opposite side and
made an open charge across the ditch.
Frank met MIN with a club AMI after
a desperate struggle succeeded in dis
patching him to the happy hunting
ground.
"Some of the neighbors, hearing the
commotion came running with clubs
and guns, and 'Micky Murray became
so excited he shot the coyote as it lay
dead on the ditch bank. Frank is
still grieving that he killed the poor
beast, as it was so derned friendly"

Building Mountain Roads

Twelve years ago mail was carried
into Warren mining district from
Mccall on mems backs, then dogs
were used during the winter to draw
sleighs. After this horses were intro
duced, yet as recently as ten years
ago the Mccall Warren road was
practically only a pack trail and it
was exceedingly difficult to get a
wagon over it. Besides being mar
row the road was circuitous and Pay
cite river was crossed eleven times in
a distance of fifteen miles between
Squaw Meadows and the head of Pay
cite Lake. At the present time
horses on this mail line are provided
with snow shoes for winter travel. 1t
is this road that the forest service
is improving, and without serious diff
ficulty in places where firm base and
gravel surface can be secured. Where
the country is low and hard to drain
it is first necessary to build foun-
dation, and for one mile south Of the
Squaw Meadows roadhouse it was
necessary to corduroy it in order that
the heavy teams transporting supplies
into the Resort and Warren district
might travel during the rainy season
through what would otherwise be
merely mire.

MOVEMENT OF LAMBS
HAS BEGUN
Forty Carloads viii Have Been
Shipped Up to End of
Week

The shipment of lambs to Eastern
markets began in earnest last week
and will continue until all marketable
stuff has been disposed of.
Andy Little sent out to Chicago
Saturday IA cars, which were loaded
at Smiths Ferry.
The VanDeusens will ship seven
carloads, and Walter Little has sold
to Sam Ballentine six carloads, which
will be shipped within the next
few days.
John Mcconnell last week shipped
four cars to St. Joseph and received
good prices. Alex Cruickshank has
sold three carloads at top prices.
The Andy Little shipment was ac-
companied by Fred Brown, Finley
Pete Marker and Mr..
Sprague, a nephew of E. B. Preble,
who will visit his old Kentucky home
before his return.

Strangled a Coyote

Clarence Thiel, New Plymouth
boy, is the possessor of a good nerve
and is in the way of seing hero.
He was in the field hoeing corn few
days ago when a mad coyote slipped
up behind him and bit him on the leg.
He turned, caught the animal by the
ear and strangled it to death on the
spot. On the advice of relatives, he
brought the brains of the animal to
Boise and had them tested by DR..
Laubaugh, the state bacteriologist. 1t
was demonstrated that the coyote had
rabies and young Thiel was given
the serum treatment with the result
that his life will probably be saved.
He is but 16 years of age.

Auto versus Railroad

George and Hiram Durham, who re-
turned last week from trip by auto
to Nebraska, travelled over 1000 miles
at an expense for gasoline of S21.
Their other expense for lubricating
oil will run the bill to not to exceed
S25. The fare by railroad would have
been not less than 500. They found
the roads good all along the route, eX-
cept in the Twin Falls country, where
recent rains had made a stretch of
new. road muddy.

For Extension of Church School.

Mr.. Hover vacated the Christian
church parsonage the past week and
moved into the Mrs. Frank Knox pro-
perty on Commercial Avenue. 1t has
been the plan of the church for some
time to use the parsonage for church
school purposes. This extension work
was made possible at this time
through the liberality of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Knox, who offered the church
their beautiful furnished home with
free rent during the summer to be
used by its minister. The church is
reorganizing its school and plans to
use the graded lessons N the future.
The parsonage, which stands adjacent
to the church, will provide four splen-
did class rooms. These rooms viii
also be used by the young people for
the social activities of the organized
classes.

CHURCH union
IN SIGHT
Strong Sentiment Exists in Fa.
vOr of Consolidation of Prot
estant Denominations

The sentiment in favor of church
union in Emmett has scrystallized to
! such an extent that a meeting Of the
official boards of the Presbyterian
Methodist and Christian churches will
be held in the near future to outline a
/ plan for the consolidation of the three
/ denominations. Many influential
members of each church have been do
/ ing missionary work along church
union lines for a number of years.
This, together with the decisive and
outspoken stand taken by Rev. Oliver
Hover, pastor of the Christian church,
has been so fruitful in its results
that the prospects for the realization
of their desires is exceedingly bright
The very idea is revolutionary so
far as Emmett church circles are con-
cerned, and there is naturally some
opposition to the movement in each
of the churches mentioned. There are
still knotty problems to solve and pre-
judices to overcome, but the leaven
is orking and new recruits are being
added. The church union idea is
spreading all over the country Here
and there in practically every state in
the union it has been tried and found
successful. From the standpoint of
economy, efficiency and service church
r1r7inr, hos haay, found r. ha haaaE ia1
wherever tried, and has built up one
strong organization where several
weak ones existed before. AS one ad-
vocate puts it:
"There has been too much overlap
ping of work, too much sentiment
ality and sad lack of true business
efficiency. Many thousands of dollars
have been lost forever in religious
work by striving in directions that
common sense would never justify, too
much senseless competition and too
many churches, some entirely out of
sympathy with the communities in
which they are located. False pride
has had its share in causing heavy
losses in trying to maintain churches,
which should never have been started,
at a heavy sacrifice. There is no
sense in two churches trying to do
the same thing where one only is
needed-where one good, strong or
ganization would be power for good
and have the respect of all. 1t may
take some time to do away with the
prejudice against interdenominational
work in the minds of some of the lay
men, but the time is coming when
common sense will prevail in church
affairs as in business matters"

Whisky Not a Medicine

Washington, July "a blow ha:
been dealt to the "blind pig" that ha:
its habitat in many drug stores
throughout the country. The Nation
al Pharmacopoela committee, CON-
posed of ffty-one Of the leading ply
sicians of the country has cut whisky
and brandy from the new edition OF
the United States Pharamacopoeia.
This means that whisky and brandy
have been declared officially to be
neither drugs nor medicine. The new
edition of the Pharmacopoeia will be
issued about January l, 1916, and
after that time brandy and whisky
cannot legally be sold by druggists
as medicine. 1t then will be necessary
for the druggist to meet the local
requirements by taking out a saloon
license if he wishes to sell "nips' be-
hind the counter The action of the
pharmacopoeia committee is recogn-
lied as a severe how 10 the liquor
traffic, particularly in "dry" districts,
where it is next to impossible to OBJ
tain spirits except in the guise of
medicine at drug stores. The step also
will put out of business a number of
patent medicines which practically are
little more than whisky or brandy and
are chiefly valued for that character.

Mad Dog in Town

A bull dog belonging to Mr.. Russell
former Nampa citizen who moved
to Emmett two months ago, was killed
last week, having shown symptoms of
being affected with rabies. Previous
to its death the dog had engaged in
a fight with A. R. Whites shepherd
and had also licked the arms of Mr..
Russell's daughter, which were cover
ed with scratches from berry bushes.
The head of the dog was sent to the
state bacteriologist in Boise to be
tested for rabies and was found to be
affected. Serum treatment for the
girl was at once ordered by DR.. Clark
and is now being administered. The
White dog was also killed. The SER
UNI treatment is a sure specific for
hydrophobia if taken in time. 1t is
costing $50 for full treat
ment. The medicine is shipped
daily from the laboratory where it is
so as to be fresh. In
view of danger of the spread of the
owners of dogs should take
the strictest precautions, either keep
ing their dogs confined or muzzled.
