A mad coyote was killed
Thursday by Ben Crummett a
few miles east o f Vale on the
Ed Morgan ranch after the rabid
beast had frightened the neigh-
borhood for over a day. The
coyote had been tearing around
the ranch trying to bite stock.
According to reports this
makes the fifth mad beast kill-
ed in the valley recently. Four
coyotes suffering from hydro-
phobia and one dog have been
killed at numerous
ranches
around Vale.
