last week passed on the character Of the
mule and decided that the animal was
both 'treacherous and Vicious A Mis-
souri, opinion on this subject should be
taken as final, for Missouri appears to be
the natural paradise for the mule where

foot and crushed 1t. In the suit for dam

No man Of ordinary prudence will take
any chances with mule. The animal
may go along for years apparently peace

said that when the mules stampeded, not
one of them, in his mal flight, ever neg
lected to step on a man. The only safe

the mules start was to leap straight UP in
the air and let them so under The man
who takes chances with mules would in
case of emergency, try to light the kitchen
fire with gasolene.
