(Froln Wednesdays Daily.1

Ringing Bros. sacred OK tried to
take a toss out of Harrison Case Jr.
yesterday afternoon and gave him
an experience that he would not
care to have repeated every cold
day. Harrison was loading dirt for
his father near Hitchcock street
when his father called to him from
across the meadow to come to b n.
Harrison started and was about
half way across when his father
motioned him back, and looking saw
the OK, which had escaped from its
pen at the Ringling farm on Lynn
avenue, coming full tilt. He ran for
the wagon which he reached frac-
tiOn of a second ahead Of the bull
which charged the wagon but found
it too heavy to overthrow. The bull
backed off, made a survey and
charged again, but succeeded only
in throwing off some of the dump
boards. BY the time the third charge
was made Harrison concluded it
was capture the OK or be killed, so
while the animal amused itself with
tossing the boards and a duck coat
into the air, Harrison slipped to
the ground and succeeded in get
ing two fingers into the iron ring
in, the bulls nose.
Then there was a fierce struggle
in which the OK nearly tore him
loose from his hold on the wagon, but
happily Harrison Sr. now appeared
on horseback and armed with
pitchfork, ready to do battle as in
war days when a member of the
Third cavalry. They succeeded in
passing a strap through the ring
and then Harrison Jr. held the
animal for another half hour while
his father went to the barn, got d
team and heavy chain and return
ed. The absence of his coat all this
time, subjected to the biting cold,
did not improve matters very much.
Together they brought the
animal to the Ringling barns where
he was put behind the bars in
winter quarters. 1t was a lucky
escape and a good CAPTURE.

Young was Jolly and high spirited
and gave every evidence of being
in perfect health. Mr.. Williams
and Mr.. Dorsett then left and Mr..
A. B. Stout of the High school,
came in. Mr.. Young remained to
answer some questions of Mr.. Stout
and H. E. Cole relative to so e
early historical incidents in the
southern part of the county, when
ne suddenly settled in his chair and
oreathed very heavily. They saw
that something was wrong with
him, so telephoned for DR.. English
and sustained him meanwhile as
best they could. In a few moments
the doctor arrived but not before
the spark had fiickered and gone
out. Heart failure was the cause
assigned for his death, and the last
chapter was closed without warn
ing and without pain. With almost
four score years to his credit, with
no act ever committed that made
him ashamed to look another man
in the face, with a clear conscience
and no fear of death, he ended this
lite in a manner that would be
welcomed bv thousands who are
distressed bv sickness and racked
with pain. It is a blessed privilege
to be allowed to die as MIR. Young

Mary had a little lamb; that time
has passed away. No lamb could
follow up the gait that Mary goes
today. For now she rides on air
shod wheels in skirts too short by
half; no lambkin shares her airy
flight, but you can see her calf.
But is there one who can complain
or cry in woe, "Alas!' so long as
Mary's calf's all right the lamb can
go to grass. SO all the men delight
to gaze, their JOY is not a sham,
for while the other critters out
they have no use for lamb.

corn crop this year, and Mr.. Judd
had selected the largest ear in his
fields to show his wife who had been
visiting her mother in Albany. AS
she returned home Mr.. Judd came
out on the front porch with the
great ear of corn on his shoulder.
The porch broke down beneath
the weight, aud the ear of corn
fell across Mr.. Judd's leggs, break
