RABID COYOTE CAUSES
UPROAR AT LEWIS CANYON

Last Wednesday a mad coyote charg-
ed up into Lewis canyon and proceed
ed to liven things up in that staid
community. Mr. Clarence Taylor first
saw the animal running up toward the
camp and securing his rifle shot twice
at it, but failed to stop it. Tony An
gelo' IS collie was the next obstruction
the coyote met, and it Immediately tied
into the dog with such a good will that
the latter quickly lost all interest in
the scrimmage.
The coyote was now well into the
camp, swapping and snarling at every
thing in its path. A genuine panic en-
sued which sent everyone into the near
est building-to get a gun-but Mrs.
Thurston seems to have been the only
one to grasp the situation-and a gun.
She took a shot at the coyote and
struck it in the flank but didn u bring
it down. The coyote then dashed among
the houses and charged into VIM. Kot-
tke's tent, but Bill wasn't cat home'
just then and his disappointed guest
soon left and went racing down the
canyon, followed by nearly the entire
population of the camp in full hue and
cry-at a discreet distance in the rear.
Tony Angelo had in the meantime
saddled his horse and with his rife
joined in the chase. His dog also, re-
gaining courage from the reinforce
ments, again dug into the coyote and
so hindered its flight that Tony finally
rode it down and jumping off his horse
sailed into the melee. Being afraid of
shooting his dog he adopted trench
warfare and, with dubbed musket,
soon laid the coyote low.
1t was found to have sustained three
bullet wounds, two at the hand of Mr..
Taylor and one from Mrs. Thurston,
and, considering its emaciated condi-
tion, assimilated a wonderful amount
of punishment before taking the count.

ADVISES FEEDERS
FOR THE ". P.

Recommendation has been made to
the reorganization committee of the
Western Pacific by Carl r. Gray, pres
ident of the Western Maryland, sent
over the line by the Rockefeller inter
ests to determine what is needed
to put the road on a self-supporting
basis when the receivership is lifted,
that feeders be built not only in Cali
fornia, but in Utah, Nevada and Ida
no, says the Salt Lake Herald Republi-
can The report, which was made to
the committee through E. II. Rollins
& Sons, declares that the road cannot
earn its operating expenses or the in
terest on its bonds unless the feeders
are constructed. 1t is reported that he
recommends the expenditure of $780,
100000 in the building of branch lines
in the intermountain country and the
Pacific Coast states.
Mr. Gray declares in the report that
the Western Pacific can be made par
tally euf-supporting by forming a
freight and passenger gateway at Salt
Lake, and by the development of the
territory on its line. He advises termi-
nal changes in San Francisco and at
the Oakland mole. He recommends
that a number of bridges and stretches
of roadbed that have deteriorated be
repaired so that faster time can pc
made between Salt Lake and San Fran
cisco. He favors agreements with cleo
tric lines and independent roads in
California to get traffic from the citrus
belt.
Engineers from New York will be in
Salt Lake soon to go over the line and
determine the cost of improvements in
the roadbed. The branch lines Mr..
Gray says should be built were recon-
mended by B. F. Bush, when he was
president of the road, but the Mis-
souri, Pacific was unable to get the
money to build Western Pacific feed
