STEERS DEAD
Rabies Believed Caused by
Bite of Predatory
Animals
Eight steers of the HcgelHtcin
hcnl of cuttle In SpruKiie river val
ley are dead from rabies, as a re
sult, it is thought, nt bites from a
mad coyote. The deaths of the 'cat
tle were reported to thn county
agent's office yesterday and a trap
per will soon be sent out in tbe
valley to protect the Interests of
tho cattlemen by trapping the mad
coyotes.
A mad coyoto was killed yester
day near Fort Klamath and It is
thought that this coyote might have
been the animal that caused the
death of the ejght Hogclsteln steerd.
The place whero It was killed is
10 to 15 miles west of where the
steers were found dead. i
The biting of cattle by mad coy
otes Is unusual, according to Coun
ty Agent C. A. Henderson. Last year
no cattle were reported into the
county agent's office as dying from
rabies, although it was pointed out,
that otten cattle are found dead and
the cause of -their death undeterm
ined. An outbreak ot rabies among the
coyotes is unusual this early in the
year,', authorities stato. Last year
the two outstanding cases ot rabie3
were when it- woman wan bit, by a
mad coyote and recDvered after
treatment and when another woman
wbo was attacked by one of tbe
crazed animals near Algoma, killed
It with a pitch fork, after being
bitten several times.
