There was an exciting scene at
Royal Lyons recently, when his FIVE
year-old bull, his boy and himself had
a sharp russell over the tariff ques-
ton. In the first round the boy fought
alone but w as compelled to give the
round to the bull; in the second round
Royal took the field and the battle
was a very spirited one, but Royal
was getting decidedly the worst of it
nutil the boy attacked the bull with
pitchfork, when the animal retreated.
The boy was not hurt and the bull
will survive, but Royal, badly knock
ed out, will need two or three weeks
for repairs. He is now quite in favor
of de horning.
