and family were at the supper table,
they were startled by the pitifuI
bowling Of their dog and rushing
out to investigate the cause, found
the dog in a fierce fight with a mad
coyote just outside the yard. Harry
rushed for his gun and as he came
out of the house met the animals in
side the yard about 20 feet from the
door locked in deadly embrace. The
coyote had firm hold on the dogs
throat and the dog had the coyote
by the foot One shot killed the coy
ote and another the dog as they
hung to each other.
The dog being a valuable one
means a great loss, but as he was Sc
verely bitten 1t was the only thing
to do.
