sprightliness, and horns indicatin;
strength Of character, appeared in tn
neighborhood OF Eighteenth and Biddl
streets. Whether the earth had opene;
her ponderous jaws to cast HIM forth
or he had been launched, thunderbol
in hide and horns, FROM some aeria
Mount Taurus, no one could say. A
Democrat reporter met the animal, bu
had business IN another direction anc
politely but firmly ascended lamp
post to see il he was on Biddle street
At first the bull trotted along, mildly
iuquisitive, towards Seventeenth street
till he had arrived at No. 1722, when
with a spssmodic witch of his tail, be
charged into the houseyard, upsettine
two baby wagons and impaling a little
girl, Meua Keeker, daughter of police
officer, on his horn, 1t dashed through
her shoulder like a bayonet, and in his
mad career he bore her some thirty feet
ere he shook her from him. Leaving
behind this
MANGLED LITTLE VICTIM,
he continued his mad career, snoring
like an alligator, out into the alley be-
tween Carr and Biddle and Seventeenth
and Eighteenth streets. Here was
playing the little boy OF Mr.. William
Hurtpan, a child OF four years of age
In a moment the bull was upon him
and thrust his sharp horn into the poor
chilfs head, penetrating through the
eye into the Uranium cavity. A block
further down Mrs. Starkey, residing al
1910, saw him approach, and, with a
mothers devotion, sprang into the road
way to save her two children. She
seized them, and with the strength Of
desperation pushed them out of danger
Just as she felt the hot breath and saw
the
RED AND FIERY EYE
of the approaching brute. She was
knocked down and her ankle was
sprained, but the little ones were saved.
A policeman fired three shots at him,
but what was Colt to a bull? Leap
ing lightly over the fence he dashed
down Fifteenth street, followed by q
tail of boys and butchers bigger than
that of Plsntamour' comet BY way
of Gay street and Morgan, he went to
Christy avenue and thence to Pine
scattering the pedestrians left and right
An unfortunate negro endeavored to
cross the road, and was knocked down,
and had
HIS ARM RIPPED
up from the wrist to the elbow in sec

At go Pine street is shoemaker {
snop. 10 which were the proprietor and
two friends. As the bull passed he sud
denly wheeled at right angles, and with
a charge like that Of the Light Brigade
at Balaklsva,
DASHED FROM ITS HINGES
and sprang into the shop. Two of the
inmates were near the window, one o.
them with his crutches upon his knees
for he was lame and almost unable tc
walk. A bounding bull appearing with
out any Of the social amenities being
observed, proved better cure than al
the rheumatic ointments which all thu
applicants for the quarantine offices
could have devised. Out through thu
window he sprang, forgetting hi
crutches, and ran up the street, dis
tancing the feetest. Meanwhile TIT
bull, finding nothing to fit him, sprane
nimbly into the street and continued hi
winding way.
On Seventh street man endeavoreC
to measure bis speed with that Of th'
excited bull. 1t was for while nil
and tuck, the bulls horns being in Close
proximity to the pedestrians coat tails
but in front OF the engine house the mar
fell, and when everybody looked TO SCI
him
DlsEMBowELED.
the bull lesped over him lightly ant
passed over him. The man who fell
was of a very dark complexion, bu
when he picked himself up and looked
around his face was pale az chalk.
At the Crow block, with a curiosit!
which would have qualified him for thu
meeting on Change the other morning
he stopped and tried to get into severa
houses. Being foiled, however, in this
he turned around again and made hi
way to the drug store Of Mr.. A. Dim
mitt, at the corner Of Olive and Sew
enth, into which he chased woman

thrust her into a side door when th'
bull came dashing in at the front. 81
close together were two marble count

in which he saw reflected bull a
strong and as vigorous as himself. A
him he dashed with q vigor which dt
credit to bis courage, if not to hi

horn. struck the moldiug and slippe'
up, 90 that the mirror escaped any frac
mre. Mr.. Dimmitt, who was standin
at the corner, fired twice at the bull
wounding him, bat not fatally. Takin
this az a hint that they had nothing i
his line, the bull with one sarcasti
wave of his tail, knocked down 8 lot q
