FOUGHT TO THE DEATH.

A Louisville (ky.) despatch of Oct IS
says Mr.. c. W. Hammond of Cowan
Station this morning turned tine-blood-
ed mare, valued at $500, and large OK
into the same enclosure. The two ami
mails had been together several times be-
fore, but as soon as they entered the lot
today they rushed at each other. Two
or three farm hands tried to separate
them, but failed. The mare kicked the
OK in the side with both feet, nearly stun
ming him, but the latter recovered and
gored the mare two or three times. Both
fought with the greatest fury. The
mare both kicked and bit, tearing chunks
of flesh from the OK with her teeth.
while she in turn was raked again and
again by the oX's horns. At last the OK
plunged his horn almost entirely through
the thick part of the mares neck. The
blow was fatal, but as the mare stag
gered, her weight broke the ox's horn
short off, and she fell and died with it in
her body. The OK was so badly kicked
and bitten that he died in the afternoon.
