his hold. The inluriated animal then ran
into The street. making wild havoc Wher-
ever he Went. but was closely followed BY
Stevens. who finally secured him safe in
his stall. Upon examination. it was found
that the right arm of Stevens was broken

is stated that the injury to Stevens arm
will doubtless be healed and it is hoped
that his internal injuries will. in due seq
