MILLER ATTACKED
BY VICIOUS
BULL
J. G. Rennie, the miller, was badly
injured by William Makin's Jersey
bull, Sunday forenoon. The bull
knocked him down repeatedly, tossed
him over Its head three times and
rolled him over and over on the
ground. Mr. Rennie finally escaped
by stabbing the vicious animal in the
neck with his pocket knife. The bull
was hornless or Mr. Rennie would
have been killed. As it is his right
shoulder cap is broken, three ribs
partly torn from the breast bone, and
he is badly bruised.
Mr. Rennie attempted to drive the
bull from Ott's pasture into Makin's
field when the animal turned on him
and knocked him down. Every time
he attempted to get up or even made
a move, the bull would attack him
savagely. This was kept up for a
long time until Mr. Rennie thought
of his pocket knife and by using it
freely managed to keep the bull ofi
until he got out of the field. He
walked to town with help, but is now
confined to his bed. His injuries are
not serious but are severe enough tc
cause much pain and will keep him
from work for a number of days.
Later in the day the bull attacked
Its owner, Wm. Makin, who however,
had a shot gun along and he fllle
Its hide with small shot.

GETTING INFORMATION.
My pa, he didn't go to town
Last evening after tea,
"But got a book and settled down
As com'fy as could be.
I tell you, I was offul glad
To have my pa about
To answer all the things I had
Been tryln' to find out.
And so I askei him why the world
Is round, Instead of square,
And why the piggies' tails are
curled.
And why don't fish breathe air?
And why the moon don't hit a star,
And why the dark is black,
And just how many birds there are
And will the wind come back?
And why does water stay In wells,
And why do June bugs hum,
im) whnt'it the roar I hear in
shells,
And when will Christmas come?
And why the grass Is always green
Instead of sometimes blue,
And why a bean will grow a bean,
And not an apple, too?
And whv A. horse can't learn to
moo,
And why a cow can't neigh?
And do the fairies live on dew,
And what makes hair grow gray
And then my pa got up and gee!
The offul words he said,
I hadn't done a thing, but he
Jest sent me off to bed.
