A STEERS STRANGE DEATH.
His Horns Grew Through His Eyes and
Killed Him.

His Horns Grew Through His Eyes and
Killed Him.
A squatter in the back blocks of New
South Wales had n young steer with
horns so perfectly turned that they
formed two artistic loops at the sides
of his head. One day BOSS" straved
with mob of store cattle into piece
of wild country infested only by iEan-
garoos and the out-station boundary
riders families.
These cattle are rounded up and
otherwise handled but once a year.
Before this annual yarding took place
Boss" had become fractions terror
to every animal and man in that range.
He had terrified and scattered the
herd that was once his mates; he had
| charged madly every kind person who
was wont to pat him. Because his
horns curled like those of sheep he
was called "Sheep Head" His mild,
| tractable nature added to this delusion
of likening him to a lamb. Six months
| after his entrance upon the range he
began to act strangely. A wild look
shot out of his eye under the points of
the ingrowing horns, whose shadow
| tina. He constantly shook his head, as
if trying to rid himself of some annoy
ance. Then BOSS" would stand and
stare at the points which were pressing
the pupils nearly up against the sock
cts. He became more irritable and un-
friendly. He roared, stamped, shook
his crazed head and stared at the creep
ing things before his vision.
At last BOSS" went mad and bel
lowed through the night like an en-
ragged demon. He chased everything
in sight, and viciously dashed himself
against the forest trees. The mere
tramp of foot angered him. The
points of the horns were cruelty press
ing his helpless eyes back in their SOCK
cts, and every jar upon the ground
tortured his brain and enraged him.
Boss" had scattered the mob of his
Eliminating mates and had so TERROR
| lied the few people about that fences
did not give sense of security. Women
and children lived in mortal dread OF
the unfortunate beast.
| At length his maddened roar was
heard no more. About a month after
that the out-boundary rider went out
with dogs and Winchester rifle to end
the suffering of 'Sheep Head Boss. y
After searching for two days the bull
| lock was found. BOSS" was dead. He
was lying under clump of acacia, less
sweet than their blossoms. He had
evidently been dead for a week or more
and had been blind for months. The
horns had grown into the eyes and al
most touched the bone of the skull be
hind. The head of the poor beast was
as strange an object as ever was seen
The horns of Boss" were never
curved by any art. They grew as ma
ture directed their fatal tips, and, un
less sent to the Royal College of Veteri
nary Surgeons, England, the preserved
head still hangs upon the door of the
Darling out-station, where BOSS" LIVED
and died.-Washington Star.
