Coyote Hunting by Auto New Sport
for Colorado Springs Men

The fox hunter, astride a speedy
mount in pursuit Of the crafty little
animal that has made Virginia fam
Gus, may think he has reached the
pinnacle of sport, but if you ask the
Colorado Springs men who have been
chasing the swift coyote across the
plains in powerful motor cars and
bringing them to earth with automat-
ic weapons they will inform you that
they have discovered the greatest
hunting device Of the day. For pure
thrills, this method Of the chase, for
centuries the favorite form Of sport.
has them all relegated to the limbo of
the obsolete.
More than 100 coyotes have been
killed during the last two weeks on
the wide stretches of range east Of
Colorado Springs by Colorado Springs
sportsmen. Clay Wolf, automobile
man, gets the credit for discovering
the thrills Of the sport and Wolf will
have enough coyote pelts when the
taxidermist returns them to paper his
house. The big ranging areas 20 or
80 miles east of the city make the
setting for this ultramodern sport.
1t has been done in two ways, with
dogs or without. Entering a grazing
area the motorist spots a coyote and
heads for him over the prairie. The
smooth stretches Of land make good
travelling and before the coyote knows
it he is being given the race Of his
life. Some escape by dodging back
into the bad land" area where the
motor cars cannot travel, but many
have been run down and shot with
shotguns at a range Of only so feet,
or even less. The shot from this
weapon does not injure the pelts of
the aniamls. II dogs are brought along
they are held in the car until the coy
otes are within a short distance and
then released. The coyote is too fast
for even the greyhound, and only in
this manner can they be caught And
the dogs and the coyotes stage many
thrilling battle themselves.
This year the coyotes in FL Paso
county have increased at an alarming
rate. They have attacked young stock
and many a chicken ranch has been

H. S. NOTES

There will be two weeks vacation for
the Christmas holidays.
Mr.. Barnes, dry lander from the
southern part Of Prowers county. is n
new student in the agriculture class.
Mr.. Barnes is working in local
dairy and is supplementing this prac-
tical work with the school lessons in
an effort to learn the dairy business.
This is a good plan. The school can
find places for more students like Mr..
Barnes.
The high school had to turn down
two calls for stenographers last week
because there were no commercial
students available. Any Lamar com
mercial student of previous years who
is out of work should notify the high
school as there are number of good
openings for stenographers and book
keepers.
High School Teachers Entertain
The high school teachers entertain
ed the grade teachers at Christmas
party at the home of Superintendent
Momyer Saturday night. A Christmas
play was given, and Christmas tree
with appropriate gifts was a mirth
producing feature of the evening. The
teachers organized into social groups
which take turns in entertaining, there
by insuring not only pleasant times
but better acquaintance and better
team work in school.

devastated. Because of this the farm
ers welcome the hunters and allow
them to cross over their barbwlre
fences and through their land at Will
A hammer takes down the strands in
a few minutes and the machine goes
tearing across. Cactus spines are
about the only impediment and they
do not injure the tires.
Plans are being formulated for a big
coyote hunt after the first of the year
in this manner.
Many local sportsmen, anxious to
enjoy the sport, are planning to take
part in it and the territory will be
well covered. The automobile is about
the only method that has been dis
covered that is really effective in coy
ote hunting.
A number of local men are making
trips two or three times a week after
the little swifties. More than 100 pelts
have been brought in for mounting.

New Judge

Probably Judge A. C. McChesney
had the toughest initial day of any
judge known. He presided for his
first day over special term Of court
in Lamar last Thursday and had to
sentence six men who plead guilty to
felonies to the reformatory and
penitentiary. Four he sent to the re-
formatory for a term Of two to ten
years each and two he sent to the pen
itentiary for a term Of two to five
years each. All had plead guilty to
killing range cattle belonging to other
people. Several more arrests have
already been made by Sheriff Down
ing and warrants are out for several
more who have got wise and skipped
out. Judge McChesney will return
the first week in January to hold the
adjourned session of the regular No
vember term of the district court. A
number Of important cases have beer
set for trial at that time.

State High School Inspector Visits

Prof. VIM. A. Cook, high school Wis
itor for the University of Colorado,
visited the high school on Tuesday.
Prof. Cook gives each high school
rating based upon 1000 points Of COM
parison. He ranks the Lamar high
school fourteenth among the 81 schools
compared. He also produced figures
to show that Lamar students rank
high in mathematics in the University
as compared with other studies. This
refers to work in the high school and
university during the last year and is
highly creditable to the local school.
Lecture Course Selected for 1918
The lecture course committee met
the representatives of the Lecture
Course Bureau Monday afternoon and
after careful consideration Of the ex-
cellent programs offered, signed a
contract with the Redpath bureau for
next year. The course will include
Steiner. the Ben Greet Players, and
musical numbers and will be the finest
lecure course ever engaged for Lamar.
The Ben Greet players alone will be
worth the price of the season ticket

Prowers County Autos

This county in proportion to popu-
lation has more autos than any coun-
ty in Colorado. In fact the autos have
become so plentiful that it is much
easier for them to run down each
other than the few lonely pedestrians
The county clerk this year has issued
over $50 licenses. Otero county with
seventy per cent more population ac-
cording to the vote cast in November
has just 1915 licenses issued. Prov
ers county has an auto for every five
votes cast. While Mr.. Ford's tir
perambulators still exceed any other
make, it no longer has the preponder-
ance over all other makes, which for
merly was the case. Now the autos
parked along the street during the
day show all makes and sizes, and
the high class cars are muchly in
evidence. In proportion to population
this county exceeds even Denver in
number of autos, and what is more
our people are not mortgaging their
homes to buy them either.
