did not fare as well, and was badly
hurt
Mr.. Nelson Morris and Mr. Bohart
went into q cattle pen at the stock
yards to inspect a consignment Of cat
tie, and things We're agreeable all
around until Mr.. Morris prOdded with
his cane a steer with abnormally wide
horns that was lying down in q corner
of the pen. The steer jumped up with
a snort and made a charge for the two
men. There was a wild rush for the
fence. Mr.. Morris leading, Mr.. Bohart a
close second, and the steer third and
gaining rapidly.
Mr.. Norris just managed to get on
the other side of the fence, but he had
not more than three inches to spare.
The first object that met his eye as he
turned TO look was the form of Mr.. BO-
hart coming down from up in the air
somewhere. The steer had caught him
and thrown him high. When he de-
scended he fell with a mighty splatter
into the feed trough, and to this fact he
owes his life
The steer made frantic efforts to gore
him, but its horns were so wide it could
not get them in the trough where Mr.
BOhart lay unconscious Mr. Morris
pounded the steer over the head with
piece of scantling, but he could not
drive it away, and not until all the cat
tie had been driven into another pen
could the steer be made to move away
from the trough.
Mr.. Bohart's shoulder was dislocated
and he was badly cut on the head and
neck and terribly bruised. His injur-
les though serious, are not fatal.
