CATCHING A WILD HEIFER.
She Charges a skillful Man and Is Thrown
Over in II Jiffy.

In Washington county, Me-, between
New Stream and the East Machias
river, the townsmen of Mortified and
Whitneyville have had considerable fun
since October chasing wild heifer,
which strayed from Bartlett Albees
farm in Northfield some time last sum-
mer. She displayed all the alertness
and sagacity of game animals in eluding
capture. Dogs were put on her track
in November, but instead of circling as
deer do when pursued by hounds, she
put straightaway like a caribou, to re-
main for weeks away from her accus-
toned localities.
Saturday week ago there was
heavy snow storm in that part of the
country, and report having come to
Whitneyville that the heifer a shadow
of her former self, had been sighted in
the woods near the confluence of Old
Machias east of Northfed, Thomas
Hennessey and Jim Healey, accom-
panied by some boys, started out to cap
ture her.
Hunger had driven the animal from
the woods to the clearings, but nothing
could induce her to come near n human
being When sighted, Hennessey and
Hraley gave chase on snow shoes, the
deep snow making rapid progress for
the heifer out of the question. She ran,
however, till her purSuers We're close on
her quarters, when she suddenly, says
the New York sun, turned to give bat
tie. Her bellOwinES We're terrific, and
she looked so frightful when she turned
| that Hennessey and the boys gave way.
Healey was game. Two years ago a
she bear Is said to have treed him, and
he has been the victim of more or less
guyng ever since. He is a powerful
| young fellow and knows how to handle
| cattle.
| When the heifer turned he planted
| himself squarely in front of her. She
| hcsitated, eyed him furiously for a mo-
ment, and charged. When she lowered
her head to give him the toss Healey
grasped both of her horns, threw all
| the weight of his body on his left hand,
| bearing the heifer's head into the snow,
at the same time pushing up and over
the left horn, It's "A trick that has to be
! done on the instant, and when 1t is
worked as Healey worked II, down goes
| the animal as did the heifer
| Healey held her head in the snow
| while Hennessey and the boys procured
ropes with which to tie her legs togeth-
er This being done, she was bundled
| into a sled and taken to Northfied.
where she now putting on fat and get
| ting used 10 her earlier surroundings.
