Jonas Ellenson narrowly escaped
a severe pounding last Saturday.
On his way from Lincoln to Fir he
cut across section Il, where a mon
ster sheep holds forth. He, the
sheep, is averse to having strange
cattle, OF every description, around.
And when Jonas hove in sight, that
black sheep marched majestically
forward and challenged him to CON-
bat. Jonas quickly and wisely decided
to decamp, for Mr.. Sheep has never
failed in an attempt to drive all
strange critters off, and this time
was no exception. The sheep did
not overtake Jonas. I tell you it
was nip and tuck tho, and I who
was an eye witness to this race, will
not forget with what velocity he
sped and the agility he displayed in
getting over that barbed wire fence
Che must have been rubbered). l
will bet my bicycle he will win the
foot race next Fourth OF July, if any
there be foolish enough to try to
compete with feet-footed Jonas.
The strangest part OF the story is
that he, Jonas, has no recollection
OF having had any such experience.
Nevertheless he cautions his friends
to beware OF the black fellow, he calls
him something different, but it was
only sheep. And now he evidently
thinks the farthest way round is the
nearest way home. he does not cut
across section IA. ..
