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

A gaunt gray coyote terrorized Por-
tola, Cal. It was first noticed when it
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 body and frightened it
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.

The Billy Sunday gospel, full Of
homilies and slang though it may be,
has been heard by a million people
since the evangelist came to Kansas
City six weeks ago. In round figures
the attendance totals 1,O17, 500. There
have been 1876 conversions. In other
words one out of eighty-one persons
who have gone to the tabernacle has
hit the sawdust trail
The above figures, however, give
virtually no idea Of Billy Sundays
batting average. The grand total Of
more than a million includes thou
sands of repeaters. It was estimated
that, stripped of those who have gone
day after day, the figures would read
something like 100000, in which case
the trail hitters will average one for
