corner Of Seventeenth street aud Cass avenue,
meditating. The day was pleasant he hadn't
much to attend to, and finally, making up his
mind for a quiet little time, he started off down
Seventeenth street in search of amusement.
Turning into Biddle street he came upon cou-
pie Of baby wagons, whose construction be in
yestigated, and, having turned them and their
hoWlihg contents upside down, he attacked
Mena Kicher, young girl six years of age.
She was not seriously injured Then he turned
in his tracks aud went down Seventeenth street
again. Here he did mischief. The little son Of
Mr.. Husrman came in his path and was gored

that lie is fatally injured. On Seventeenth street
the bull met Mrs. Sharky of 1910 Biddle street.
who, in attempting TO rescue her children from
danger, severely sprained her ankle. As he
reached Gay street, he turned east to Four

and the show windows Turning from this sad
spectacle, he proceeded slowly up Seventh street
in search Of the lottery office, and stopping on
the corner Of Olive, entered Dmmitt's drug
store TO find directory. Spying a lady maxi
