A brave steer belonging to Oh arles Baker passed down Main street during the recent flood, and out into the river. When he reached the bridge he ducked his head, passed under and out into the great eddy below with his nose high above the water. When the eddy brought him around near the eastern

 the surging current. shook his head ana
 walked leisurely away, only to be caught the next day and killed for beef.
