MAD COYOTES

Mad or crazy coyotes are not all
dead yet. Two cases were reported
in local papers last week. Both an
imals were killed after much excite
ment. One attacked man near
Graville Station, stopping place on
the remnant of the Seattle, Lake
Shore & Eastern Ry., in the eastern
part of the county. After the animal
had chased him home and his dogs
had interrupted it long enough for
him to draw his pocket knife, he
stabbed it as it lunged for his throat.
He struck it to the heart the first
thrust. 1t had repeatedly jumped at
him before keeping at the attack so
persistently that he could not draw
the knife. In another locality coy
ote attacked a man after he dis
mounted from his horse on arriving
at home. Before he could secure a
gun it had bitten cats, dogs and cat
tie and had killed several chickens.

just as important to the we'll being

In each of these soldier was strum-
ming on piano; others were reading
books and magazines; hundreds were
writing letters home. Behind the
raised counter at one end three or four
young men were busy passing out
notepaper and envelopes, selling
stamps and weighing parcels, which
the men were sending home. One OF
the soldiers said to me as stood IN
the tent used chiefly by men from
Iowa: 1--WE came all the way here
from Des Moines, and we were mighty
lonely. Then we found this Y. M. G.
