Jeff Hayes says be would like to see
the coyote bounty continued and that
he would contribute liberally. This Is
only an expression of many sheepmen
in this vicinity. It looks like the Blteep
men't Union would pay up arrears and

be as thick as ever and the money ail
lost. One sheepman In Lakecounty says
bo lost f IJOOO worth ' of ibeep by coyotes

ried any chcaier. It looks like Mr Gard
ner of Arkansas would have to fill bis
own contract, as it will be hard to sub
let it. People at the different stations
ought not to cnt down on expense of feed
and care of alago stock to starvation
prices, as they bare had to do in the

this is to nse Fossil flour the best and
