A mad coyote caused considerable
excitement in the neighborhood Sat-
urday afternoon. 1t was first seen
in Towns Matthews pasture by
Clate Hughes, who had taken the
cows to water. 1t ran through the
herd of cattle and chased Clate. He
ran to the house for the gun, but
was so frightened, we think, that he
could not hit him before his supply
of shells was exhausted. Frank New
man arrived on the scene about that
time and his dog chased him until he
was entirely out of sight. Others
shot at him, but so far as we know
he is still at large.
