TerribIe Flrht wllh a RulI.

Late last fall Mr.. Lardin, a man
Of wealth and admirer of blooded
stock, imported from England a
splendid twO-years old short-horned
Durham bull at a cost of $265O;
also two Durham heifers at a cost
of $3.50 each. GEL Toro" was con-
sidered not only by its owner, but
by all who saw him, as one of the
most perfect specimens of his spe-
cies ever brought to this country.
He was tractable and soon became
almost pet with his master, who
kept the 2300 pound monster
housed but not tied. Three weeks
ago Mr.. Lardin, who weighs over
two hundred pounds, went into the
stable for the purpose of putting a
rope through an iron ring in the
bulls nose and tying him up.
Placing his hand on The animals
horn, Mr.. Lardin was about to
reach down to seize the ring, when
the bull suddenly threw up his
head, striking Mr., Lardin just over
the eye with his horn and knocking
HIM down.
Entering with all the quickness
of a rat-terrier, the infuriated brute
Sprang upon the PROSTATE man and
attempted to gore and crush him
to death. Luckily Mr.. Lardin fell
close to the wall of the stable, so
that the animal was unable to car
ry out his purpose by reason Of his
horns striking the side of the build
ing. The animal then attempted
to crush his victim by kneeling
upon him, but again the side Of the
stable prevented.
This failure seemed to madden
him still further, and he threw his
whole tremendous weight against
the side of the building in a des-
perate attempt to once more use
his horns, Fortunately the boards
stood the test, but one of his horns
struck Mr.. Lardin on the left shoul.
der and passed over his chest until
reaching the breastbone, where but
for the shelter afforded by the wall
a death-wound must have been in
flicted.
Lying as still as he could, while
thekbull was butting with all his
might, Mr.. Lardin kept feeling
cautiously for the ring in the ami
mails nose, when a sudden move
ment brought it within reach, and
it was instantly seized by the des-
perate man. With a quick wrench
and a death-grip the bull found
himself instantly shorn Of strength.
With both wrists almost broken,
both thumbs nearly dislocated, his
body crushed and bleeding and
nearly stripped of clothing, Mr..
Lardin staggered to his feet and led
the bull out of the stable, across q
lot to an eight-rail fence. Here he
pulled the brute's nose up after him
as he climbed, until he was ready
to drop on the other side, when he
let go and ran as fast as his legs
could carry him, SO

reached them he was too weak to
tell them what had happened. His
friends carried him home, and on
the way he managed to tell them
that he was not anxious to box with
a bear soon again. The hunters
went to look for the bear, but found
that it had escaped. AS Benson's

we quote the following:
Marriage is the ultimate end and

mother is the queen among women
yea, among all created beings.
All men honor her, and are ready
to accord her the highest place in
creation.
Second only to her is she who
has had the courage to remain
single because the right man never

At Kiev, in Russia, on the nigh
of Oct. "a, a murderous attack was
made on an officer OF police. Tive
elegantly dressed women accosted
the officer in one of the principal
streets, and while pne of them en-.
gagged him in conversation, the 9th.
er aimed blow at him with a dag,
ger, which, fortunately, did not
wound him severely. He shouted
Murder y and ran off to call the
watch. Meantime, The editor of a
local newspaper, the Listok, who
CHANGED to pass at the moment,
asked the women what provoked
them to do such a deed. "Mind
your own business F.; you, also, will
not escape our hands," was the an
swer he received. The women
were able to withdraw without mo-
lestation, and the editor saw them
step into a handsome carriage,
which was evidently waiting for
them. The number of Nihilists
who are in prison in Odessa
amounts to $40. Precautions have
been taken for snppressing at once
and effectively any disturbances al
their trial, which is expected tC
take place shortly.
