He left Sunday evening to join his family In Burns. A statement was volunteered by Mr. Huckncy which follows In part: "Floyd Hackney, my brother, and j I, were driving along the road on the 2Sth day of February. 1917, and' I was driving and I says to myj brother, 'I see a coyote, take the j lines,' and we hud a 30-30 carbine under the seat in a canvas case. The' case-lining was torn and It seemed to me that It took about three min utes to get the gun out of the case. "I told my brother to keep the team a moving and I would jump off, and I Jumped off the wagon on the opposite side, and I am not sure, but I think I stepped hack a step or two until the wagon passed me. There were shells in the magazine i of the carbine but none in the chamber and as the wagon went by I t browed a shell Into the barrel, raised the gun and shot quick. "ft seemed that the object was moving from me all the time and when the gun fired It fell over the hill, as it seemed, out of my sight. I then got back on the wagon and looked dcjwn toward the object three or four times. The wagon had not stopped until after I shot. It then stopped about ten feet from me and I climbed aboard the wagon, and my brother says, 'Did you hit it?' and I says, 'No, I miHsed it.' 'We drove on then to the Dixon ranch thut night, remained all night there. We drove next day to the Fife postofllce and staid there all night. The next morning Stanley, llalfour arrived about 7 o'clock and told me to remain until the sheriff came. "The object seemed to me to be about ISO yards from where I stood in the road. It looked exactly like a coyote to me all the time." ir jR il NOTICE TO CREDITORS Notlrtr Is hereby given by the undersigned, the Administrator of the Kutnte of Mary F.

It is a human trait to want to see before we buy. When we were kids we swapped knives "sight unseen" but the novelty of this manner of "transacting business loses its attract iveness when we consider that imple ments cost real money and are not an every day purchase. One of our jobs in conducting our busi ness in this community is to set up the machines') we sell and see that they are properly adjusted before they go into your field. After they are set up they can be examined by you you know just what you are getting because you see the imple ments with your own eyes. When the goods leave our store our interest does not end there but well tell you something about that later. We'd like mighty well to show you what we have in stock and give you a description of what we can get for you promptly if we have'nt it here. Drop in the next time you are "in town.
