He Ran Wildly On.

The New York American says there
was a wild steer chase, with spectacu.
lar features, late one afternoon on
the East Side, which ended with the
capture Of one Of the animals on the
steps In front OF the residence Of Arch
bishop Farley, at Fiftieth street and
Madison avenue. The other was
caught at Fifty. second street on the
same avenue.
Credit for the capture Is largely due
the police Of the East Fifty. first street
station. The condition OF their uni
forms and those Of the reserves who
participated in the chase attest the
part they took in the work.
The bulls, which almost depopulat-
ed the streets during their brief period
OF liberty, escaped from the abattoirs
Of their United Dressed Beef Comp
any, at orty-fourth Street and First
avenue. They were frisky and care.
free, and sHished their tails as they
trotted out onto First avenue.
It was a few moments before their
escape was noticed by the employees
Of the company. BY the time they
discovered the loss, both steers were
charging with lowered heads up the
avenue, followed by a mob calling out
words Of warning to those in front to
beware OF impending danger.
When the steers reached Fifty y-sixth
street they turned west to Second
avenue. Children ran to cover, ard
women ran screaming from the path
Of the cows
at Second avenue they turned south
again. One took to the sidewalk, and
believing with rage, spied a red para
sol, which served to shade baby car.
rage, which was being trundled by a
young woman. The latter saw the
steers coming, but seemed paralyzed
with fear. Then Policeman Schauen-
berger dashed across the street and
catching up the child, pulled the wo-
man into a doorway. The charged steer
vented his anger on the offending par
asol.
By this time the streets were filed
with an excited crowd. Now and again
the steers would turn upon their pur-
suers and the people would scatter.
Policeman Sachauenberger joined In
the chase, giving an occasional toot on
his whistle for warning. Passengers
on passing surface cars trembled with
fsar. Conductors closed the guards
and the cars we're sent whizzing away.
At Fifty second street the animals
swerved west again. Across Third and
Lexington avenues they went at an
easy lopa to Park avenue. where they
crossed the bridge to Madison avenue.
Then began the struggle for suprem-
acy between man and beast.
Nearby was boy at play. The boy
tried to fee, but the steer was close
at his heals. The boy literally took
the bull by the horns" The beast toss
ed his head angrily, but witnesses say
the lad held on. Then a mounted po-
Iiceman came dashing up swinging
larat. He caught the bull, which was
thrown, tied and later wagon took
it back to the slauyhter house.
In the meantime she other steer
was rapidly nearing bis end. The
clamor had reached the East Fifty
first street station house, and Sergeant
Ennis had dispatched all his available
men to pursue and capture it If posi-
BILE.
At Fittieth street the beast took to
the sidewalk, and had the door been
open would have paid a visit to Arch
bishop Farley's home. AS it was be

end. More policemen came TO the res
