A Ride ON u wild Bull.
Jacksonville Tor. J Sentinel.


A year or SO since there was a
"rosdoe' out on Lost River, i'm
Lake county. Ranchmen had
gath cred for circuit of seventy
five miles to claim and brand their
young cattle, and when q Gordon
of men had surrounded large
band, among which was a Spanish
bull, dispute arose about a "mal-
let head" or calf, that had escaped
the spring branding. The discus
sion grew warm, none of the
stockowners being able to set up
valid claim or establish an un-
doubted title. AT last in spirit of
bravado, rancher proposed that
whoever would ride the bull with
out sad die OF halter should be de-
clared owner of the calf There
was yell of approval, but not a
general stampede of volunteers,
for taurus was in i'll humor and
his foaming mouth and bloodshot
eyes gave token that whoever rode
him would have a ride as wild as
Mazeppa's and one that might
not end so well. AT last IVA
quero" named Frick accepted the
challenge anu the wild bull was
Immediately lassoed and held by
q lariat round horn and foot. Dis.
mounting from his horse the va
quero fastened his long roweled
spurs securely. tied a handker-
chief round his head approached
the Infatuated animal and grasp
ing the tail in his hands sprang
lightly on it. setting the spurs
deeply in it's TANKS as he settled
securely in his seat. The lariats
were slackened, the bull gave a
roar of rage and terror and flung
his head to the ground, but the
rider had his back to the head and
a firm grip on the tail and kept
his seat. Another roar that shook
the ground, wild plunge, and
the now maddened bull shot out
across the sage plain with light
ming speed, his plucky rider twist
ing the tail that to him was
sheet-anchor until the bellowings
were lost in the distance. For
over a mile and a half the race
was continued, amid the exciting
cheers of the vaquero's comrades.
Occasionally the bull gave des-
perate plunge through a heavy
clump of sage in the vain attempt
to rid himself of his tormentor,
but the long rowels only clung
more firmly to his flanks. Some
times the animal and rider were
hidden by fluctuations in the
ground, and bets were even made
that Prick would be thrown and
gored; but at last the bull, ex-
hausted from sheer fright, fell and
the plucky vaquero, stepping
Ii ghtly of, returned to claim his
prize, which was unanimously
awarded. The occurrence Is re-
lated by prominent cattleman in
Lake county, who ventures the
opinion that no scene In q Spanish
"bull.ring" was ever half so wild
or exciting.

not. But after the fight was over came
another unexpected event. The Presi-
dent was shot nearly to death by an ir-
responsible man who had no grievance.
1t was believed that he could not live
twelve hours. He has lived eight weeks.
1t is believed now that he can live but a
few days at the most. And yet he may
live many years. 1t was said on Friday
that he could not rally. but even then the
people did not lose hope. He did rally on
Saturday. count it ever so little. Is the
unexpected which has been the rule in
his life to make his recovery exceptional
among such cases? The people will
hope so. They will do this reverent.y,

mind. If they find ground for hope in
