BULL AFTER CHURCH,FoLK

Believing IN thunder tones and run
ming like wounded aoimll after
matador in q Spanish ring, msddened
bull tore into Phe nixville, Pa, Satur
day morning, frightening men, women
and children and sending them scarry-
lug for safety. The big animal is KEEP,
confined in farmers pen just outside
of town, but that morning broke away
be bars and stampeded.
AS raging blizzard the animal h,w
down the road and burst in upon tie
churchgoers. People few in alright as
the animal stamped and sported in q
vicious manner. Tossing his great head,
be spied woman in red dress. With
howl ofssrage the bull leaped forward.
Then ne madly rushed to and fro, sew
eral persons having narrow escapes.
"Ohs" were painful from the women,
ard, gathering up their skirts, they
crowded into docrways No store in
town ever made half the display OF
hosiery.
A colored man. who never heard that
! discretion was the better part of valor,
sazed too long on the scene. Toward
him the bull charged. The man made
au ineff c,ual attempt to dodge. Save
me! Help, helrT' he cried
But the bull beloved louder and the
other men ran faster.
With thud and an ''ouch" from the
victim, the bull caught the colored man
and with a shake of his mighty neck
sent him ten feet into the air. Legs
and arms flew around like windmill.
Then the bull started for other victims.
The man came down as elowly as he
could, keeping one eye on his four
footed assailant, but he landed with a
thump that knocked out his wind to
make room for more extensive knowl-
edge of bull tactics. His hat flew po-
litely off. "Fo' de Lawd's sake" he
groaned. "Ketch dat BULL" and away
he went to safer spot.
The bulls next victim was fat man,
who had taken too much time to laugh
at the "gemman from So Ca'lina."
'Bless my soul bless my soul !" he
cried as the bull started for him. "Ge'
away" he cried at the animal, who,
with head down, was making 30-yard
run. "Get away, So boss, so boss, "
but in a moment be, too, was on q
trip to the church spire He lands d
safer than he went up and hobbled
away.
Finally the winded animal was turn
ed into an inclosure and when assured
that he couldn't get loose the church
aoers went around picking up discard
ed Bibles and hymn books aud proceed
ed on their way.
