Twenty-Five years ago there made away
from the slaughter houses at Pawtucket
four wild steers. Two were captured
alive. one was killed by an unknown man
on McDonough street and another near
the Rhode Island Locomotive works.
Max Breseiehan. at that time a young
man and a butcher by occupation. saw
the animal and decided to capture II or
perish In the attempt. and the act was
performed so quickly that none could tell
just how Breselehan did It: but accord
ing TO his story he simply tripped Mr..
Steer and cut his throat
Not much has been heard OF Breselehan
since then, until Monday evening he was
arrested in the annexed district for beins
drunk, and Patrolman Tiernan. who at
the time that the steer was killed. was
employed at the locomotive works and
was among those who viewed the killing
from a place of safety. namely, the roof
OF the locomotive works
When Breselehan came into the station
last evening he was identified by Mr..
Tiernan and this rather sobered Bresele-
han up, but not sufficient TO go home.
He furnished no little amount OF In
terest In telling his exciting experience
with the steer.
BICYCLISTs APPROVE.
Bicyclists are under many obligations to
the officials OF the Chaffee street police
station for the work they have done In
Kidding the streets of stones that careless
teamers have allowed TO fall from their
rickerty teams.
In the past these men would overload
their teams and when on a paved street
the stones would rattle out. and no mat
tha., NJ ha
teamers would for a moment think OF
stopping TO spick them up or TO remove
them from the street and In consequence
thereof bicycllsts, especially after dark.
would run into them and then there
would be fall and possibly broken
wheel, but no redress.
