Coyote a liat Catcher.
King, the coyote owned by D. C.
Ilhoden, the liveryman, Is showing
siens of civilization. His ancestry
used to sit around on these hills long
years before man knew there was
land beyond tiie great sea and send
up their doleful cry with nothing but
wild beasts or stray bands of wild
Indians to hear his call. The Indian
has been forced into civilizfiation, b"ut
this much despised nomad of the prai
rie of his own free will becomes a rat
ter and thus regains his race. King
is a good wild dog. He loves to
search for rats and his agility makes
him a terror to them.
Improving Their Store.
Holmes & Smith, the enterprising
and up-to-date merchants of Murray,
are compelled to have more room,
and in order to get it they have cut
a passage between the main store
room and the one adjoining, which
was formerly occupied as a storage
room. This will be filled with the
finest display of holiday goods that
was ever opened up in Murray. After
the holidays it will be used as an an
nex for various other lines. The
firm is doing a splendid business. All
of which they truly deserve, for they
are both good business men and
most ercellent gentlemen.
