PETITION LECISLA-
TURE FOR RELIEF

Yesterday Judge w. II. Minor, of
McDermitt, circulated petition
among local business men which was
generally signed, and was forwarded
to Carson in the afternoon. 1t was ad-
dressed to the Humboldt county dele
cation in the legislature, recited the
facts concerning the menace from mad
coyotes in the northern part of the
county, and prayed that legislation be
enacted to permit the Humboldt coun-
ty commissioners 20 grant some sort of
relief.
Ernest Sullivan, the well-known Nc
Dermitt stockman, who spent Sunday
in Winnemucca, stated that the stu.
alton was much worse than has been
printed in the newspapers. While con
ditions in northern Nevada are not IS
bad as those existing in southern Ore
gon, they will rapidly grow worse un.
less drastic action is soon taken. In
Oregon hundreds of head of cattle,
sheep, horses and hogs have been des-
troyed which had beensinfected by the
mad coyotes, entailing a loss running
up into the thousands of dollars.
f. R. Sans, of the government bibo-
logical survey, who has been at the
Eldorado for several days, was inform
ed of the situation and will leave for
McDermitt Thursday, TO make a study
of the situation. But the government
works so slowly that there will be
time for all the stock in the northern
section to have become infected be-
fore the matter can be reached bv the
federal authorities.
Tt is hoped that the legislature will
pass a law authorizing at least the
commissioners of Humboldt county to
offer liberal bounty for coyote
scalps, for in that manner it seems
probable that the menace may be over
come.
