The many friends of Mr.. w, G..
Scott--formerly connecttt with
the Red River Oil mill, but now
merchandising and planting at
Cheneyyi!le-will be grievel to
learn that he met with a very
painful, if not actually serious
mishap last Thursday. When re-
turning from his stable, whittier
he had been to look after his stock,
he was attacked by a registered
Jersey bull. The enraged animal,
after making several desperate
lunges at him ana bluising him
considerably, finally succeeded in
hooking him in the leg and rupt-
uring an artery. Physicians were
summoned AS soon as possible,
who stauched the flow of blood,
bnt not until he was considerably
weakened and depressed from the
amount lost.
