Texan Catt1e-An Exciting Time.

Yesterday forenoon at half-past ten, @ pair
 of wild Texan steers, part of a car load of
 cattle to Strong, Barnes, Hart & Co.,, escaped
 from the stock yard on Long Wharf while
 the car was being unloaded. Soon an organ
 ized force from the slaughter house was in
 pursuit of the escaped captives, numbering
 some ten in all MT. Edward F. Mansfield of
 the house in charge. The party were armed
 with cudgels, long iron pointed poles, and
 Mir. Mansfield with a breech-loading rifle.
 Several of the butchers were on horseback
 One of the steers was brought to bay on
 Water street, but charged and drove back the party. A large crowd by this time had joined the procession Finally one of the animals was driven into filings lumber yard and made his way up to barn door. One of the butchers tried to coax him in he did so with such good effect that the butcher had barely time to fly to the hay loft above to escape be-
 ing gored by the beast who chased him half up the stairs The steer then went into the garden of the Booth homestead and soon made havoc of the vegetables growing. He did not keep still long enough to be shot at for some time, but finally tiring of his capers sought the shade of friendly apple tree and while at bay eyeing his pursuers in a most savage manner, Ed. Mansfield took steady aim and fired. The ball struck square be tween the brute's eyes and the huge steer tot tered for moment and then fell with groan The chase for the remaining steer was in- tensely exciting and occupied some time, lasting until after 12 o'clock, when hundreds of factory hands swelled the crowd-men, women, girls and boys. The excited and in furiated animal charged on the crowd several times, causing each time grand stampede, and people tumbled down and over one an- other in their haste to give the beast room.
