He has at last hit upon a novel plan for the sure capture of Mr. Coyote and the beauty of it is its a sure kill, and no fail. The trap, if such it may be called, consipts of two posts, an army musket, and a string, at the end of which is a dead chicken. The musket is tied to the posts, and the string is fast ened to the trigger of the musket, and when the coyote undertakes to masticate or make away with the chicken, boom goes the gun result, a dead coyote. 60,000 Bushels.

Fischer left Monday on a wild goose chase. Their destination was the-mouth of the Yakima. They were well supplied with goose bait and other accessories necessary to camp life on the raging Yakima. Reports say that wild-geese in that vicinity are as numerous as grass hoppers. It is a foregone conclu sion that they will kill time and catch a bad cold, if nothing else. Counterhopper Fisher will do the gun work, while the other boys, Deacon John and Tamarac Tom will act as decoys. If their venture proves successful they will ship in a few car loads of wild-geese over the W-. & C- R. : , A few days ago the celebrated bay filly, "Oregon Wonder," the peerless trotter that Jim Hays drives to his delivery wagon, wac standing quietly in front of Kirk land's store, apparently enjoying a refreshing nap. However, a close observer might have detected the fact that: the ; filly was'4 snoozing with one eye open, evidently on the lookout for the red flag,v which she recognizes as a signal for atrial of speed. Her peaceful repose, or cat-nip if you please, on this oc casion was of short duration, and was rudely disturbed by an unfore seen incident. . Kirkland's cat was in an unusually playful mood, scampering and cavorting about on the side walk. Suddenly it made a dash and ran up one of the "Ore gon Wonder's" hind legs, presum ably mistaking it for a tree or tele phone pole. Possibly it may have seen a mouse, though, the idea is hardly tenable, as Jim minipulates a curry comb too often to allow for the possibility of mice building nests on a horse of his; still, what ever its object, it don't change the fact that the cat actually climbed the rear limb of the bay filly, the peerless trotter. This seeming familiarity on the part of the feline greatly disturbed the equinimity of the equine, in other words the "Oregon Wonder," probably wond ering what was the matter, became quite animated and danced an ex agerated fandango to a finish, and would have ran away only for the tirmly arrival of her driver. Dur ing the melee the wagon ran over the cat, though without any satis factory result, as it escaped unin jured. Thus, what threatened to be a serious catastrophe, happily terminated in a slight category. This is the only instance on record where a horse deliberately attempt ed to "skin-a-cat." : Scribbler.
