The men produced a paper by which they said they had teave to put the poles where they pleased. The old farmer went back and turned a large bull in the field. The savage beast made after the men, and the old farmer, seeing them running from the field shouted at the top of his voice: "Show him the paper! Show him the paper!” — McMinnville Reporter.
