undt rcurrents were too strong. and in 4

TRICKED AN ANGRY BULL.
Fishermen Rescued Through the Us
of n Red Flag.

VI {" hAVu
Pottstown, Pa, June 19.-By clever
strategy on the part of their companions.
Daniel Yerger and Frank Kulp. of this
place. were liberated from very unpleasant
positions in which they were placed by a
mad bull on Saturday, while on a fishing
trip among the Perkiomen Creek. They
were in a party of members of the Potts
town Fishing Club. the others on the ex-
cursion being James Reigner and Wash
ington Shaner.
Kulp was alone batting some hooks at
the waters edge. when the bull appeared
and he took to tree for safety. The bull
tore around among the camp baggage and
all the time kept an eye on Kulp. giving
him no chance to slip down. He was held
a prisoner there for an hour. when Yerger
came along. The vicious brute promptly
went after the newcomer, and Yerger dash
ed into the water, wading in till il was up
to his neck. Then the bull patrolled the
bank of the stream, believing wildly and
kicking up clouds of dust. Both men were
afraid TO shift their positions.
Things were in this condition when
Reigner and Shaner rounded the bend of
the creek in a boat. They tried to drive
the animal away, but to no purpose. They
did net dare venture near, and the bull
would not bulge. Reigner's eye happened
TO fall on piece of red cloth in the boat.
and then lucky thought came.
Knowing how bull can be excited by
display of that flaming color. he seized the
cloth and waved it. The bulls attention
was at once attracted and he became more
enraged than ever Then Shaner pulled
away on the oars and Reigner kept waving
the cloth. while the bull tore after them
along the bank. When they had decoyed
him safe distance, Kulp came down the
tree and Yerger emerged from the water.
The party's luggage was hastily gathered
up and carried over a fence. Shaner and
Reigner then drew away from the bull and
reJoined the others.
