WOMAN RIDING A BULL.-Mfs
Dora McElroy, of Asbury Park, wish
tor at Wilkesbsrre, Pa, rode big Jsr-
sey bull day or two ago, but 1t nearly
cost the young woman her life. When
Mrs. McEIroy went down to the stone
wall the bulls manner was mild, APP
preciative, apparently, Of the goodies"
he had received from her. Mrs. Nc
Elroy called Out to her friends to at
tract their attention, mounted the
stone fence and slipped sstride Willle's
broad back. The bull stood stjll a
moment and trembled. Don't be
airsid, Willie; l won's hurt you" said
Mrs. McElroy. csressinE the great
neck Of the beast. SECT up I" she COM
msnded, giving him a poke With the
heel of her boot. The bull crouched
and then went right up in the cir like a
bucking bropcbo. Mrs. McEIroy wae
so busy holding on that she forgot to
wonder what had happened, bat abe
felt cure she had gone over the barn
The bull struck the ground and made
off across the pasture like an angry cy'
clone. Mrs. MoElroy had fallen over
on the bulls neck when the two
landed after the start of add had laid
hold OF his horns. Her eyes were
closed and abe had death grip. The
bull lost ell mental balance. He derted
one way like . streak of electricity
then suddenly wheeled and cut bi:
initisls. He finally bolted over gate
and ran along the highway: A mile
distant Mrs. McEirOy was thrown
violently, but she landed in a cIump o
bushes aud was only badly bruised
The bull trotted back home.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

DkIAH, Dec. 2l-One Mendoeino stage
robber came to grief to-day and his ar
rest and confession came as a slIrllrise to
me residents Of this vicinity. The cul-
pat proved to be himself the driver of a
Tstage, who, between trips amused him
self and added to his assets by robbing
coaches driven by other knights of the
rein In his arrest the county officials
may have landed the man who, during
lne summer months, made travel by
Stage IN this region expensive to many
summer resort visitors. RObberies were
numerous and the lone highwayman who
committed them always selected a stage
crowded with wealthy city folk going for
soJOurn at the beautiful Lake County
resorts, reached from points along the
northwestern railroad.
The southbound stage. known as the
overland" was stopped and robbed at
O'Clock this morning by a masked man
one mile above Willis The rob-
Der took Wells Fargo's box and
the mail sack. George Cook, the
driver, believed he recognized the
ROBBERS voice as that Of John IVanS,
who drives the stage between Willis and
ort Bragg On arriving in Willis Cook
went TO Ivans' room and found he was
ak 1t 1t was learned that Ivans arose
at o'clock and had not been seen in
Willis after that until o'clock Cook
charged 1vans with the crime and the
accused man made a vehement denial
Sheriff Smith started for Willis when
notified and found on his arrival there
that Ivans had not been formally arrest
ed, though the Sheriff's son. Charles
Smith Of Willis, had the suspect under
surveillance. Sheriff Smith swore out a
warrant and arrested Ivans. He started
for Ulziah with his prisoner and on the
way lvsns confessed the robbery and
told where the express box and gun were
concealed. He said he did not have time
10 open the box and intended to return
for it The shotgun used, he declared,
was not loaded.
Previous to Ivans arrest the mail sack,
cut open and rifled, had been found near
the scene Of the holdup.
Ivans is known here and was the prin-
cipal witness during a recent murder
trial. He is now in the County Jail.

day deposited s5Os,OOO in a New

order Of Charles McNamee, their legal ao-
wiser and representative, who is now here
This money will be used in paying in full
the depositors Of the Metropolitan Bank'

This generous action on the part Oh the
Vanderbilts results from a desire to keep
the family name spotless in the business
world. They had neither legal nor moral
responsibility in the Metropolitan Bank

in the fact that it was managed by Philip
Vanderbilt Caesar and Jacob Vanderbilt,
third and second cousins of the men who
to-day advanced half million dollars to
pay off depositors.
