AM BULL
A Barre Man
Gored.
COWS INTERFERE.
And Probably Save Nelson
Loring from Death.

Barre, Oct. 15.-Nelson Loring, rs
years old, was seriously if not fatally
gored by an Infatuated bull here yester-
day afternoon, and now lies at his home
manned and bruised apology of his
former self. Several ribs are broken and
various contusions about the body add
to the sufferings of the old man. Had
it not been for the presence of mind
exhibited by Mr.. Loring, and the SEEM
ingly almost human interference by a
herd of half dozen COWS, Mr.. Lorings
fate would have been instant death, as
the bull was thoroughly aroused and
extremely vicious.
Mr.. Loring is well-to-do farmer re-
siding about one and a half miles from
the centre, on the Barre Plains road
Yesterday he was crossing a large field
IN which the bull and a herd of a half
dozen cows were grazing. Suddenly Mr..
Lorlng looked up and saw the bull COM
ing toward him at furious rate, with
MS head bent low. Blood curdling
shorts issued from the creatures nos
Urls, and Mr.. Loring saw at once that
he was at the mercy of the animal.
In jiffy Mr.. Loring was tossed ruth
lessly to the ground, and the bull made
three distinct attacks upon him. Mr..
Lorlng grabbed his cap, which had
fallen off during the animals assault,
and threw it as far away from him as
possible.
This action had the desired effect,
that of distracting the bulls attention.
With a renewed snort of wrath the
animal started for the cap and Mr..
Loring started as fast as he could I'M
der the painful circumstances, for the
protection of a friendly wall.
1t was at this stage of proceedings
that a curious and providential inter-
ference came, which saved Mr.. Loring
from immediate and certain death. The
herd OF half dozen cows which had
been watching the uneven combat trot-
ted on to the ground recently occupied
by Mr.. Loring and his uneven adver-
sary. The bull was stamping upon
and tossing the cap thrown by Mr..
Loring, in an uneerenonious manner,
when this timely interruption came,
and gave the farmer time to gain the
wall and temporary safety.
After the bull had exhausted his rage
on the offending cap, he seemed to sud
denly remember Mr.. Loring, and turned
about with renewed vigor, when he
suddenly came in contact with the bar
| ricade of cows. There was a bad mix
! up of "beevers' for a moment, and
| IiiSAi Tic lHluIldteu Duli IOTScl his s1ll-
| ger, and in few moments was graz
ing as contentedly with the other four
! footed members of the herd, as though
his owner was not lying on the other
| side of the wall, injured we'll nigh unto
death by his ungrateful treachery.
Mr.. Loring's cries brought aid, and
he was conducted to the nome Of his
son Frank, with whom he resides, and
! the nearest doctor was sent for At a
4 al oh T mo- al
though he was in a precarious condl-
| ton.

HUNTERS EXPERIENCE.
unceremoniously Dumped Out of Carriage
in Leicester.

Leicester, Oct. 15,-What came near
being serious accident occurred at
the foot of Leicester hill, about a
o'clock this afternoon. Two young
men, evidently returning from a hunt
ing expedition, were driving toward
Worcester in q covered carriage, when
they met one of the Suburban cars.
The horse, a spirited animal, took
fright and wheeled suddenly to the
left. The front wheel on that side of
the carriage was broken and the oc-
cupants of the vehicle were thrown out
upon the ground. Fortunately, the
horse did not run, and the only dam
age done was to the carriage.
THE BOTToMLY BOLT.
The names of several men who have
always been known as democrats are
among those who signed nomination
papers for Jerome Bottomly. The fight
in Leicester between Boardman and
Bottomly does not seem to be a party
fight, but rather struggle between
the two factions in town. Leicester
democrats are divided every way, and
some will support Bottomly while
others voted for Boardman at the eau
Gus. 1t looks as though the republi-
cans would favor the regular nominee
in the sixth district, although Bottom
ly has always been a popular man.
Arthur E. Brown has secured work

Of the Tech hill and the city, On the left
is the library, which Is lighted by two
windows extending nearly the whole
length of the front and side of the
apartment. In the rear of this is the
dining-room, which is handsomely fin
ished in grained wainscotting.
All the finish of the house is in cy-
press, which is capable of very hand
some effects when treated as it is at
present by different processes to give
appearances more varied than are ca
pable of being taken on by any other
finishing material. In the rear of the
parlor but not connected with it, is the
billiard room, which is a very snug
apartment and model one in many
respects.
The library, dining-room and hall are
connected with each other by broad
doors of the new rolling type, so ar
ranged that the three apartments may
be changed into one large one for the
purposes of chapter meetings and social
functions.
On the second floor there are four
large chambers and study rooms, bath
and toilet rooms, and smoking room.
The latter looks out upon the park, and
is arranged with the front almost COM
pletely of glass, with handsomely up
holstered settees around the three
on the roof of the piazza
which is rallied in and arranged to be
used as a place for Longing during
the summer weather. The bath room
is fitted with shower baths and all mod
ern plumbing ideas.
The third floor is taken up entirely
by sleeping apartments arranged for
occupancy by one or more students, as
may be desired. All the rooms have
very commodious closet and storage
arrangements, and are perfectly To-
Gated with reference to the living por-
lions of the house for the quiet needed
for study
The house has large basement
which is devoted to the kitchen, laun-
dry and servants apartments. The
kitchen is connected by a small ele-
vator with the dining room, and has
4 spacious cold closet arranged to be
filled with ice from the exterior of the
house. The house is lighted through
out with gas and electricity, and is
warmed by a special heating apparatus
that is designed to furnish hot air heat
to the rooms and constant supply of
hot water for use in the bath rooms.
During the summer the hot water sup
ply can be taken from the ordinary

WEEDS AS FOOD.
lFrom Meehan,s Monthlv.l


What is even regarded as a vile weed
can, with a little stretch of magma
ton, be turned into an ornamental
plant or delicious vegetable. This is es-
pecially the case with the common bur
dock, Lappa major. School boys all
know it from gathering the burrs and
COMPRISING them together by the
curved points of the floral involucre.
This is all they know about 1t. 1t is
difficult to see anything more to be des-
pissed in the burdock leaf than in the
leaf Of the rhubarb. 1t appears that it is
largely used in China for food But it
is stated that if the stalks be cut down
before the flowers expand and then be
boiled the taste is relished equally with
asparagus. The leaves when young are
boiled and eaten as we eat spinach. In
Japan it is in universal use. Thousands
of acres are devoted to its culture. But
in this case the root is the object. 1t re-
quires deep soil to get the roots to the
best advantage.

OUTLOOK IS ENCOURAGING.
Freshmen Oarsmen at Yale Did Well
in the Fall Regatta

New Haven, Oct 15.-The annual fall
regatta Of the Yale University navy
was won this afternoon by the fresh
man crew. The showing Of the incom-
ing. class crew was quite encouraging.
Only three crews were entered, one
from the junior, sophomore, freshmen
classes. Considering that the fresh
man crew has only been rowing for II
days, the fact that they defeated last
years victorious crew at New London
is remarkable. They were, however,
given two lengths and a half handicap.
This ends the rowing activity at Yale
until the Christmas vacation, when
the university crew candidates will be
called out by Capt. Allen.
