Gastonia, Aug. 8—The wise and wily coyote from the wild and wooly west has at last suspended his chicken stealing operations, at which nefarious task he has been engaged since the winter’s snows left the soil of Gaston county. Sipp Glen, a gentleman of color, living on the Craig and Wilson farm, near the city limits, put several buck shot through the pelt of the western marauder at an early morning hour and the gray-coated chicken robber went down a-kicking. The body was brought up in front of the city hall this morning for every one to see.
