75 Years Ago
OCTOBER 27, 1927
Ray Louis is the first fellow in this section to have killed a coyote by running him over with a car. One evening last week, Ray was driving on the road which runs past the old Davis place when he saw two bright shiners in the center of the road which resembled two balls of fire. It proved to be a coyote which had evidently become blinded by the lights from the car. The animal was killed instantly.
The sanding of the new Santa Fe Trail east from Florence to the Chase County line is about completed. The last stretch of this road is being sanded this week. The sand is being place in piles along the road and spread over the surface as it is worked into the earth.
