An INFURIATED ANIMAL CREATES PANIC ON PENN
SYLvANIA AvENUE
A large buffalo COW driven from the county to
the market this morning became overheated and
started on run down Pennsylvania avenue, max
Ing dash at every man and woman she met, run
ming over several people in her way and creating
great CONSERVATION. The animal was finally cap
street and Pennsylvania avenue. These men at
tempted to secure her by rope tied around her
under jaw, which so irritated her that she made a
break at every one passing and threw herself down
by the curb painting with heat and exertion. Some
one threw some water on her head believing her
to be crazy with heat and running. This SO en-
ragged the animal that she made a break at the
crowd and into the front door OF Shillingtons book
store, which was full OF customers at the time Mr.
Shtl1ngton gave orders for all to scatter and look
out for themselves. The customers quickly Obeyed
orders. most OF them going out the rear door into
ing the exit on ~ street, and then rushed into the
alley close by, where hundreds OF people collected
about to witness her antics. Mr.. ShillingtOn made
hasty baTTcade IN the rear OF his store by turn
ing over large table on its side, behind which he
placed falnting lady customer and child. The
COW stood painting under shade tree In the alley,
no one daring ing Tor S some time to pass BY soPe col
wall near by managed to secure her with lasD
made OF stout rope, and she was led back to tie
market house: MI. Shillington said he had had
many distinguished callers at his store-Webster,
Henry Clay. Benton and all the big men in the
political world in the old times-but he never had a
cow pass through there before.
