MAN BATTLES A COYOTE BAREHANDED—AND WINS (By Associated Press) THOMPSON FALLS, Mont, March 29.—What happens when ‘coyote meets man on narrow i ' = stairway? Power Company employes say Gus Johnson was descending a flight of stairs in the powerhouse when he saw a coyote half-way up. At that instant another worker, Ed Fitzgerald, appeared at the bottom of the steps. The coyote, trapped between the two men, leaped to a narrow ledge beside the stars, lost its footing and fell at Fitzgerald's feet. Fitzgerald grabbed the animal’s legs as it snapped at him and Plenty, two Montana’ Ahen, to keep the coyote from bit- ing him, began twirling it around and around. This lasted f while the coy: ‘led, and then Fitzgerald’s began to tire. He could not let go for the coyote was snapping and snarling at him. Finally he moved toward a con- crete abutment, still twirling his load. The coyote lost interest in affairs when its head came in con- tact, with a thump, against the concrete. Then it was easy t6.dis- pose of the animal. Fitzgerald and Johnson said it was a mystery how the coyote got into the powerhouse. half-minute, Steve Francis Doll, who has been spending a while visiting his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Sebastian Cabrero, Jr., left on the early bus today, hav- ing been called to his home in New Marke, Va., because of the ~_= father. ae Mr.“dhd Mrs. Murdo MagKenzie, who had been in Key West for the past five weeks i servi¢es at .the Gorpel Hall on * Southard street left on the bus this morning for Miami.

C. Donnelly, college official, discovered a flat tire, called a repairman and had it fixed. When he climbed” into’ the car, he found that his key wouldn’t fit. Only then did he discover that he was in the wrong car — his automobile was parked just behind His Alibi “I'm surprised that you get such poor marks in spelling, my son “Well, you see, daddy, it isn't my fault. The teacher don’t spell words the same as I do”. | erous AROUND MIAMI (By CONTRIBUTOR) . Somehow the word “home” seems too beautiful to apply to some showy residences in Miami. The development company has “some choice homes” for sale, but what they mean is houses. You can’t market a “home”, for it is the symbol of ‘pride and content- ment that is the reflection of in- ward peace and love. You wouldn’t cal house with a bar- room, devoti drunken parties and revelry, a “home”. Many im- posing residences are little more than private hotels. And in these restless, unhomelike abodes live some of the most uneasy and un- happy people in America. They have bought a house, but not a “home”. The little one-storied house in the pinelands has more of the meaning of “home” to its family circle than has some villa on Miami Beach. And how do the children reflect the atmosphere of abiding homes and great houses? There is this difference: That where you find a sweet and gen- child you find a true “home”. And where you find a ruthless, selfish youngster you often find a villa of luxury. Per Request A foreman in a certain factory is in the habit of getting an)ap- prentice to heat his lunch for him.
