NEW Brunswick, Oct. 7.-whlian Wolf. a
butcher of this place, has been fattening up a
bull for the market for the past few months.
Yesterday he arranged with Rabbi Bers to have
the animal slaughtered according to the rites of
the jewish Church, and at an early hour this
morning started with 1t for slaughter house
dozen blocks away. where the rabbi was to meet
him and convert the bull into choice steaks and
roasts
Wolf was leading the animal along by about
ten feet OF rope. attached to his horns, when
small boy who was passing picked up q stone
and threw 1t at the bull. The stone hit
the animal III the nose, and with
snort Of rage It whirled around, yanking
Wolff off his feet SO suddenly that he
didn't realize what had happened to him until
he found himself being dragged along the ground
at twenty mile nm hour speed. Then he let go
of tho rope and the bull proceeded at more
moderate gait in the direction OF George street.
1t had reached the house of John Carpenter.
when it suddenly discovered small boy coming
down the road on u bicycle.
A moment later the small boy was soaring
through tho air toward the south. while the
bull was making repeated charges al the wooden
fence OF Mr. Carpenters house. in an effort to
rlu hlmsell OF the Oicycle Whicn was lmpaled on
his horns. He was stil engaged in this oucra-
Jon when Mr.. Wola, followed by about
hundred citizens who had seen his remarHa-
bic contortions when the bull broke away. came
running up. Mr.. WOft cautiously approached,
and, grabbing the rope: made IT fast to the
fence. Then he retreated to think over n plan
of action which would land the bull safely in
the slaughter house.
He was still thinking 1t over when Mayor
Williamson and two policemen came along.
The people in the vicinity protested to him. and

Not desiring to bother the bull any more than
