COYOTE FRIGHTENS THE TOWN
Savage Animal Finally Driven Away
by School Children Unaware Of
Danger.

A gaunt gray coyote terrorized Por-
tola, Cal. 1t was first noticed when II
attacked two dogs at the residence Of
Thomas Dorithy.
Mrs. J. Hardy, who was passing at
the time, narrowly escaped being Bit
ten when the coyote broke away from
the dogs and attempted to attack her.
The dogs pulled it down again, how
ever, before It reached her.
During the recess period it appeared
at the schoolhouse, but the children
chased it in a body and frightened 1t
away. They were not aware of the
real danger.
A number of hunters are securing
the hills close to town in an endeavor
to locate and kill the coyote.

BRINGS GOOD PRICE

Last Saturday the residence proper
" on the southwest corner of Pacific
and Taylor streets, which was the pro
perty of w. +. Barnhart of Spokane,
WASH, was sold for $4,000, to Messrs.
W. +. and B. w. Hopkins, the we'll
known butchers. While most people
seem to think that the price was high
for residence property, the new owners
do not agree with them and think the
property which is soon destined to be-
come business property, was very rea-
sOnable. The sale was made by j. II.
Mcdonald. Mr.. Barnhart, who is an
exresident Of Blackfoot where he was
in the real estate business with j. II.
Mcdonald, bought this property twen-
ty seven- years ago for 5000, and it has
been revenue producer ever since.
The lot is 50x125, and the improve
ments consist of a residence and barn.
1t is rumored that the Hopkins broth
ers will build an up-to-date market and
cold storage plant on the property i'll

THE NEW YORK WORLDS
COMMENT ON WELSH SINGERS

Sylvester Rowling, musical critic of
the New York Evening World has the
following to say Of the concert given
by "The Gwent Welsh Male Singers -
in Aeolian Hall of New York City:
The Gwent Welsh Male Singers scor-
ed antoher success last night at Aeol-
ian Hall. A large audience enjoyed
their lovely singing and demanded sew
eral extra numbers. The name Gwent
is Welsh for Monmouthshire, the coun-
ty in Wales from which the singers
come.
While some of the chOruses were in
Welsh far the greater part were in
English, and admirably sung they were
too. The individual voices We're of ex-
cellent quality and the choir disclosed
splendid unison, fine precision and bal
ance, clean cut attack and delightful
nuance.
This is the same organization which
will appear at High School Auditorium
Blackfoot, Idaho, on the evening of
Feb. 25th, with the exception Of the
vacancies which were caused by the
Lusitania disaster in which several. of
the singers and former conductor Mr..
George F. Davis, lost their lives. Mr..
David Johns, one of the most success
full conductors in Wales succeeds Mr..
Davis. An entire new program is a
feature of their forthcoming engage
ment.

D1ECLAIME NEWSPAPER
INTEREST

The news item published in this paper
Oh the 10th inst, stating that the
Aberdeen Times had been sold and that
d. w. Davis of American Falls was
one of the purchasers, and Commission
er Fugate Of Aberdeen, was another,
seems to have been either a political
canard, or the imagination of Demo
cratic editor. Col. Fugate of Aberdeen
denied this alleged guilt in connection
with the reported newspaper sale be-
ff,,rs the article was published, and now
after the article has been widely cir
culated by the newspapers Of the state,
for political purposes, no doubt, comes
Mr.. Davis, the Republican farmer
banker candidate for governor, and en-
phatically declares his innocence of the
charge made against him. We know
Mr.. Davis socially and commercially
as man of unquesti.ned veracity, and
when he says he is not Interested in
the Aberdeen Times we know he is
not, and therefore cheerfully publish
his denial of the charge made against
him by Editor Toner. Mr.. Davis fur
ther informs us by phone that he has
not got dollar invested in the news
paper field of Idaho, and does not in
tend to have any such investment.
If the charge made by his Republican
gubernatorial opponent and namesake,
that the editors who sell their editorial
space is at all true, we do not blame
any decent man from disowning any
personal interest in newspaperdom-
for his dear wife's sake, at least.
