the dangerous “hodags” in great numbers, bringing with them the wild and man eating “Hillside Ghysers,” whose resemblance is so close to the “hodags” it is very hard to tell them apart, except when pursued by one, for their speed is nearly equal to that of an express train, and their legs being a trifle longer than the “hodags,” they have a tendency to travel a little up hill while if a person will keep going down grade he will escape them in time.     One of the boys, last week, while out riding the range on the fastest horse in the outfit, has nearly caught in a race of twenty-two miles and as a result is carrying a heavy automatic and keeping close to the home ranch.     The cowmen of the basin here, and the Verde also, however, would forward a movement to have a bill passed by the present legislature fixing a bounty on their hides of, say, $25. This would induce trappers to exterminate the dangerous beasts. If they are not exterminated it will be difficult for the cowmen to employ cowpunchers who will not take fright at the first brute and leave the country.     Hoping that some definite action will be taken in the near future in regard to this matter, and that the beasts will entirely be done away with forever and, if so, let peace and quiet reign once more in thls vicinity. It would be a great load lifted off of everyone's mind who resides here. Very truly yours. From— Arizona Republican. (Phoenix, Ariz.), 13 April 1913.
