Killed Big Coyote

H.A. Eltiste who lives near Johnson brought a coyote skin to town Saturday, that attracted a good deal of attention because of its unusual size.

The skin measured five and one-half feet in length.  Mr. Eltiste shot the animal with a 22 caliber rifle and wounded it after which it was killed by his bull dog.

Its mate was with it, but escaped.  Coyotes have been killing chickens and committing other depredations in that section for some time, but this big fellow will do no more damage.
