Chambers street square he took refuge for a short
opposite the Cosmopolitan Hotel" 1t was pre-
smmed that the poor beast was beginning TO
weaken under the many shots that had pierced
his body About TWO hundred policemen had by
this time followed in his wake, ana they at once
began to barricade the streets.

The West Broadway cars were stopped, and
carts OF every description were seized anu planted
across Hudson street and West Broadway, while
were piled up at the several street cross
ings. Then commenced a fearini attack,

to the Third precinct station house, and from
thence to the Park Hospital. The crowd, wnicn
must have numbered over 1000, followed down
Chambers street, hooting and haloolng-in fact,
apparently more crazy than the poor beast ITSELF
Down to the loot OF Chambers street ran the bull,
who hnaly sought refuge on the Erie dock,
The end or the pier was soon barrlcaded with
carts, and then the daring policemen climbed
up on top OF the shed covering the Erie dock and
commenced popping away again with their shot
guns; but 1t was all to no purpose. They seemed
TO have little or no effect.

Finally the bull seemed to regain new life,
and with one dash made for the barricade and
