Fulton is "unfit for high office."
When Senator Fulton was in
formed of the above, he said: "I
cannot of course, answer Mr.
Heney's charges until I have
read them in full. I will however
say that it is absolutely false
that I ever paid anyone money
for Mitchell. Mr. Heney must
be desperate when he has to
delve into the past to rake up
scandal and filth of this character.

with these charges and show
their entire falsity.".

Sheepmen After Coyote Bounty
The woolgrowers of Oregon
will ask the next legislature to
pass a coyote bounty law and it
is said that the sheep counties
of Oregon will be asked to offer
bounties until such an act can
be enacted.
At the National woolgrowers'
convention recently held in He!
ena. it was decided to ask for
uniform coyote bounty laws in
all the sheep-raising states of the
west United action will be tak
en in the hopes of ridding the
country of these pests and the
Oregon men are taking an active
interest
What amount they will seek to
have offered for coyote scalps
has not yet been decided upon,
but according to Dan P. Smythe,
secretary of the Oregon Sheep
commission, they will probably
ask for a $2 bounty.
