of our coast defenses Is questionable.

the present military forces cannot as

disembarking on our shores.
The distribution of the natlon'a
forces on a wide front was advised by
Wotherspoon because a wide choice
of landing places was open to an
enemy. The first line of the mobile
force of half a million, he said,
would have thoroughly trained men,
equipped with supplies and provisions
for six months. These would be re
inforced by a second line of 300.00
men drawn from the recognized mi

to make donations also and the re

untary contributions. Messrs. Bly
Jenstein and Walters, with Secretary
Cranston of the Commercial associa
tion are members of a committee
from that organization to receive con
tributions. The mills will sell the
flour at the regular export price, $4.50

Even before the movement waa
launched a number of subscriptions
had been received from residents de
tir!ng to help. Dr. W. R. Campbell
waa the first to make a subscription.
He subscribed four barrels. Mrs. G
W. Co una waa another to make a
contribution and quite a number of

the millers and at the Commercial

Mr. Blydensteln explained the

Rabies has appeared among the

infected animals are growing so bold
and savage that considerable conster

different Instances of rabid coyotes
have been reported, one man and a

even horses have been attacked.
Mack GUllland, former Janitor of

Judge T. P. GUllland, is the man who
was bitten and he Is now taking treat

A week or more ago GUllland was
doing the chores In the early morn
ing at the K. G. Warner ranch near
Nye when a coyote aneaked up behind
him and bit him ln the leg. He kick
ed at the animal and tried to kill It
but It escaped. Proceeding on to the
ranch of J. N. Burgess it attacked two
sheep dogs there and when the herd
er attempted to drive It away It at
tacked him. He secured his gun anJ

trary It made for him and he was
forced to take .refuge In his saddle
while the coyote pursued the dog
round and round the horse. Btevlns
finally shot It.
Ira Hughes, who has a wood-cutting
contract near Meacham, was In the
city yesterday and reported that on
Monday three mad coyotes came right
Into Meacham and attacked the dogs
of Mrs. Ben Marlln Jut ln front of
her hotel. One of the dogs was so
badly torn that It will die and one of
the coyotes was killed by Mr. Hughes.
As a result of a battle with a coy
ote, the Airedale dog of Albert Gil
liam in the south end of the county
developed rabloa and had to be shot.
District Attorney Fred Stelwer used
the dog on a hunting trip during the
early part of September and it was on
this hunt that tho dog fought anl
killed the coyote. Three weeks later
the dog. hitherto a very quiet animal,
went mad, racing all over the neigh

horses. A bullet finally stopped its
career.
