The white-faced Hereford broke loose at the union ' stockyards while being unloaded from a truck with other cattle. Its owner, Fred Hansen of El lensburg, tried a flying tackle and got knocked down. The steer was on its way. It continued for more than two miles with police, stockyard workers and passersby joining in. Traffic was snarled; pedestrians were scared. Finally the patrolmen pulled alongside the animal in: their squad car and ended . the chase. A second car squealed to a stop and R. C. Bass, who came here two years ago from Houston, Tex., pulled out a sharp knife to slit the steer's throat. "You've got to stick 'em right away to bleed 'em," he explain ed. "Otherwise the blood spoils the meat." "But wish they hadn't shot him," Bass added plaintively. "I had a lariat in the car and was just getting ready to lasso him."

A mn'iihitK-fTi'ir Ex-Japantst Official Testifies Against Tokyo Rose SAN FRANCISCO. July 19.- UP) A young Japanese, wartime supervisor of Radio Tokyo, testi fied Monday that Mrs. "iva To guri D'Aquino, as 'Tokyo Rose," committed what the government charges were eight open acts of treason against the United States. The prosecution of the 33-year-old woman, born in Los Angeles, moved swiftly through testimony. The main witness was Kenkichi Oko, 36, born in Sacramento. He went to Japan in 1939, he said, be cause of his family's business, and in 1940 became a citizen of Japan. The government contends Mrs. D'Aquino, as an American citizen, broadcast enemy propaganda to U. S. troops willingly and volun tarily. The defense argues she did it under threat of force by the Japanese police and army. Oki testified he was production supervisor for the "Zero Hour," that George Mitsushlo was his su perior; that the purpose of the broadcast was to cause war weari. ness in allied forces and to lower thefr morale. He said he, Mrs. Togurl, Mit sushlo and several others were present when Mitsushio outlined the purpose of the program. LOSES FINAL ROUND SMITH FALLS, Ont..
