Daring Chase Ends Life OF One
Coyote
While Otis Kissack was feeding cat
tie in the corral early one morning
last week, and the chickens were out
after their breakfast, q daring old
coyote came creeping up and pounced
upon big full blooded Plymouth
Rock rooster. When the rooster
squaked and the other chickens be-
gan cackling, Otis let out a whoop
and old Rover. the big shepherd dog
bore down on the thief who was max
ing off with his prey. AS the pur-
suit grew hot the burden proved too
heavy for the culprit, so he dropped
it to elude the dog. But Rover soon
tired Of such fast chase and returned
only to be followed at a respectable
distance by the coyote, who was de-
termined on having his feast. When
the distance became closer than re-
spectacle, the dog tore in after his
enemy and with the same results.
This game Of tag kept up while
Otis was running for his Winchester
pump and the Buick. Jumping into
the care. he speeded up to twenty
miles going out the gate and was hit
ting forty before the coyote realized
the situation and made bee line for
a nearby cornfield The chosen path
OF escape lead. directly across the
road OF the car which was now going
fifty. Seeing that he was too late the
frightened animal turned and ran fo,
his life parallel to the road but he did
not get far.
Steering into range Otis released,
the wheel and began pumping leac
into the beast as fast as he coule
shoot. One, two, three shots, all o.
which took effect and the coyote
rolled over dead as the car sped past
Then came the fun for Rover. VIII,
brought up the rear. Selling the deat
animal he shook him angrily and bark
ed for delight.
The chase lasted less than quar-
