"Cased Wolf" is the old trade name of the Coyote, because its skin was cased like that of a Muskrat, while the Gray-wolf's pelt was spread out flat like a Beaver.
The following, from F. W. Beechey's "Narrative" (1831, p. 403), is the earliest form of the word "Coyote" that I find in English print; "Wolves and Foxes are numerous, and the *Cuiotas*, or Jackalls, range about the plains at night, and prove very destructive to the Sheep."
