SEE EXTINCTION OF COYOTE
Stock Raise~s Confident That Their
SkuIking Enemy Will Soon Be En-
tireiy Wiped Out.

According to stock raisers and farm
ers, especially in Kansas, the coyote
seems to be fast becoming extinct. The
fencing up Of big pasture districts
where practically every acre Is stock
ed with cattle has robbed the coyote OF
his once free and open range.
Because OF his depredations on
young and helpless domestic stock a
bounty has in many places been set
upon his head and he has long been
a fugitive, hunted and killed by every
farmer end stock raiser. The greater
part Of these bOunties are collected In
the spring months before the mother
wolf has left her den with her fam
lily. SO persistently has the warfare
of determination been carried on that
the coyotes which rear their families
in safety must be cunning indeed.
The coyote has long borne a repu-
tation for cowardice, to say nothing OF
other unworthy qualities, but In the
opinion of some this is unfair to the
beast. His warfare on sheep long ago
led to the institution Of coyote drives,
especially in the far Northwest. Hun
dreds of men turn out and manage
the thing pretty much as is done in
the case Of a rabbit drive, when great
numbers Of jackrabbits are driven in
to a sort of corral, where they are
killed.
On one occasion many men and boys
in southern Idaho worked all day driv-
ing in the coyotes and when they, the
men and boys. had all converged at
the corral they found just one coyote
in 1t, and he got away!

Weyler, and took up his residence in
Santiago. The outbreak Of the war
surprised him there. He knew that
Santiago would fall, and he had been
warned that he would receive short
shrift at the hands of our people.
"He longed for death, but he had two
things that kept alive the desire for
life. One was his child. the other the
desire for vindication, which had be-
come a monomania. He tried to escape
into the jungle. He saw that it was
hopeless.
"He was hiding in little hut when
he heard footsteps. An American sol
der, who had strayed from his COM

that moment stray bullet caught him
in the head, killing him instantly.
Hampton saw his chance. He took off
the dead mans clothing and put it on

knew that by this means he could pass
through the lines in the guise of a
wounded man, until he had chance to
get rid of his uniform in the cabin OF
some Cuban, who would be only too

exchange for it. And, leaving his
money and papers on the dead man, he
knew that he left his identity behind,

WITHHELD JUDGE
hregy Hears Appeal Based on
Arrest of Liberty League
~ Officer
0UTcoME OF SUNDAY SPORT

Judge Breezy in Quarter Sessions
Court today reserved judgment on an
appeal in a test case attacking the Sun =
day "blue law of 1749, by which base
ball is made crime If INDUCED In on
the Lords Day.
An officer of the Constitutional LIB
erty League was arrested Sunday, No
vember 2, in Fairmount Park for play
ing baseball, and summarily fined 81
and costs by Magistrate Renshaw.
The case today was an appeal from
the summary fine by the magistrate.
Counsel for the Constitutional Liberty
League explained to Judge Bregy that
II the court sustained the conviction,
an appeal would Immediately be taken
to the highest court, so that the CON
stitutionality Of the blue law could be
passed on.
The prosecution in the present case
was brought by an organization which
seeks to enforce a strict Sunday OBJ
eervance. 1t failed signally in a previ-
ous legal bout before Judge Stake.
Last summer, in Common Pleas Court
No. 8, an injunction was sought to
force the Park Commissioners TO stop
Sunday sports in Fairmount Park.
Judge Stake at that time gave an eN-
haustive opinion, in which he ruled
against granting any restraining order,
on the ground that the games in the
Park were not a nuisance and were not
illegal, and that the commissioners had
not exceeded their powers in granting
permission to play Sunday games in the
Park.
Clement II. Congdon. vice president of
the Constitutional Liberty League, had
himself arrested to furnish material for
the present test case.

Cattle Growers Are
Dissatisfied With the
Packers Compromise

Washington. Dec. 29.-Members
of twelve western cattle growers as
sociations have appealed to Presi-

tary McAdoo, TO upset the arrange

Palmer to compromise the Govern
ments antitrust proceedings against
the meat packers, John Miller, of

announced.
The growers, Mr.. Miller said sub
mitted to the President through Nc
Adoo a series of charges to the effect
that the compromise does not give
them any redress for their chief
grievance, which they allege, is the
control of stock yard markets by
the packers to the disadvantage of
the producers. They ask that the
prosecutions be taken out of the
hands of the Attorney General and
that new suite be brought with
Francis j. Honey, of San Francisco,
former attorney for the Federal
