The Harper Advocate Harper County December 20, 1928 Coyotes Are Getting Bold. Coyotes are becoming a menace to chickens and a good hunt would be beneficial to the poultry raisers around Harper. One morning recently two appeared in the GARRISON barnyard at abotu 8:00 o'clock in the morning and grabbed a chicken. Quick chasing caused them to liberate the fowl, but as they have been sighted on other occasions, it is thought several are lurking in the community.
