MANY PREDATORY
ANIMALS KILLED

More than $4,000 predatory ami
mails, over 1900 of which were coy
otes, were destroyed during the fiscal
government year by the trappers
and hunters hired by the government,
according to reports from Washing
ton received by the local department
of the biological survey.
The report states that 1880 coy
otes. 1854 bobcats, 424 wolves, 3
mountain lions and 2Os6 miscellan-
eous wild animals were killed during
the year, and this does not take into
account many animals poisoned and
whose bodies were not recovered.
The government uses three methods
in its warfare against predatory
beasts. trapping, shooting and poison
ing. Most of the animals were killed
in the western states where rabies has
been prevalent.

Kelly Shepherd, local painter, will
not follow his trade for the coming
two months, but instead will assist
the county in building roads. Kelly
filled his hide full of white lightning
last Saturday and told the boys he
was going to do something desperate.
He went to the ball grounds, and cut
an automobile tire of the Bluefield
Telephone Company's truck, render
ing the tire useless, and committed
other acts in carrying out his threat.
The Sergeant was appraised of Shep.
herds acts and went in hot pursuit
Shepherd was located and brought
to Jail here. He was being shown over
the premises of Hotel de Harman, and
appeared to dislike the quarters,
whereupon he "dove" for the door and
safely ESCAPED. A diligent search was
made by the officer and others, but
he could nowhere be found. The Ser.
geant, however, executed little flank
movement Monday and located the
shepherd of the Hills" over near
North Tazewell. BY certain recon
noitre we'll known to the man-hunt-
ers, the Shephed was surrounded by
the officer and gathered in before he
had time to run. He was loaded in an
automobile and brought to town, and
Squire Patton assessed him fine Of
$1O0, which of course Shepherd was
unable to pay, and was taken to the
county road camp near Pounding Mill
yesterday afternoon.

One fatal weakness is a backward

MOSS HAS NARROW ESCAPE {

Will Moss, who lives at the old

an automobile accident Friday from
which he and his young son, who was
in the car with him, narrowly escaped
serious injury. Mr.. Moss was driving
a Ford, and was not very familiar
with the mechanism. AS he approach

of the car went wrong, and the car
smashed into the guard rail of the
bridge, throwing Mr.. Moss's son sew

up badly, but no bones were broken.
Harry Peery, a friend of Mr.. Moss,
who appears to have been an eye wit

the fact that the driver of the "Tin
Lizzy" got all "balled up" and would
have avcrted the accident had he been
able to find the foot-brake on the car
by feeling for it with his foot.
