Pullen's mule, one OF the orneriest
long cared brutes that ever foraged for
a meal, an animal that every ranchman
in this country has had good cause to
remember by the loss of a sack of -four
or feed, or box of groceries, has been
sold and taken out of this country, and
here's hoping he will never find his way
back again. Pullen's mule was probably
the worst four,footed nuisance that the
people of this town ever had to contend
with and we're all glad now that he is
gone.
