CHICKENS SLAIN
At DOLAN RANCH
BY COYOTE PUPS

Fifty-five chickens and a goose
were killed by coyotes at the Muir
ply and Dolan ranch, in Steptoe
valley, in a week while Mrs. Do
Ian was visiting in Ely. The ranch
had but two geese, which were be-
ing saved for relatives in Ely at
holiday time.
Recently a female coyote was
seen in the field with a litter of
pups. quite bold in their actions.
Both the mother at such times and
the young are the worst after poul-
try, this being the season when
they gather their tolls.
The visitation Of rabies in that
region last winter does not seem
to have reduced their numbers ap-
preciably. It is question whether
or not the disease is fatal to coy
otes after it has run for several
years, as it has in Nevada, for sell
dom is dead coyote found, al
though the first three years of it
they were found by hundreds.

new PACKARD AROUSES
GREAT AUTO INTEREST

Since the Packard Motor Car
Company announced it's new Single
Eight car the question of four wheel
brakes has been one which has
aroused much discussion in American
automobile circles.
Officers of the Packard, as pion-
GERS in the field in this country, be-
lieve that for a car of the Single
Eight type extra braking facilities
are Indispensable.
''The great power of the Single
Eight, with its rushing acceleration
and the possibilities for harder and
faster driving than that of other cars
made necessary greater braking
power" said DR.. H. H. Hills, vice
president of distribution of the Pack
ard Company, while discussing the
general question of four wheel
brakes.
Owners of Single Fights" DR..
Hills continued, "are persons who
demand the utmost in luxurious rid
ing, power and control under any
and all weather and road conditions.
The fastest acceleration possible
which was demanded has to be ac-
companied by something equal in
the matter of deceleration and four
wheel brakes were the result.
1--WE tried out brakes actuated by
hydraulic pressure and systems op-
Grated by rods and after all our tests
decided upon brakes operated by
steel cables thus giving the best in
vital in four wheel
brakes)-the minimum in adjust-
ments and in necessity for making
them and the maximum in positive

ROBBERS GET BUT LITTLE
LOOT AT SOUTH AMBOY

SOUTH AMBOY, Aug. 21.-The
butcher shop of Fred Iseley. at 170
North Broadway, was entered some
time last night or early this morn
ing, the safe opened and looted for
$40, and not single clue as to the
identity of the culprit left.
AS the result of an investigation
held by Mr.. Iseley and Officer An
ton Malizewski this morning, the en-
trance to the shop was made through
the cellar to the base of the show
window in the front of the shop,
and from there through latch door
to the office where the safe was sit
uated. Drawers and shelves about
the office and shop were looted also
as was shown by the upset condi-
ton in which they were found when
the owner opened his place of busi-
ness this morning.
According to the officer and Mr..
Iseley the robbery was committed
by someone entirely familiar with
the surroundings of the office and
meat shop, and who knew exactly
the "lay of the land" A search is
being made today for the butcher
boy whose name is unknown, who
failed to report to work this morning
at the usual time.
A peculiar manner in which the
robbery was committed was explain
ed by Mr.. Iseley, who said that, al
though the safe contained $40 in
cash. only $40 was taken. This was
another reason given by the pro-
prietor for his detecting that some
young person had committed the

three sacks on the same hit, ninety

order to decide whether a tunnel

over it would serve the best public
interests the committee recently ap-

Tottenville with Perth Amboy. The
state of New York has so far appro-
priated $4,000 to meet the expenses
OF preliminary surveys and investi-

amount. When the amount is au-
