Al Maddened RuIl's Attach.

Meridian, Miss, May pa
News reached the city today of an
encounter between j. S. Schan-
rock, well-to-do truck farmer,
residing about four miles south of
the city, and a maddened Durham
bull, in which the man was killed
and frightfully mangIed by the
animal. About shutdown last eve
ming Mr.. Schanrock proceeded to
his pasture to drive up several
cows for milking. Not returning
within a reasonable time, his son,
Will Schanrock, started out to as
certain what detained his father.
He was met by his fathers dog,
which began barking and pulling
at his clothing. The son hasten
ed on to the pasture, and there,
lying upon a pile of boards, was
the bruised, bleeding, mangled
form of his father, with life ex-
tinct, and the bull, still much
excited and believing, in the near
distance. No one had witnessed
the encounter, but the struggle
must have been a terrible one be-
tween man and brute, as the
ground was much torn and tram
Piled for a considerable area
around the spot where the body
was found. The chest was crush
ed. and the ribs and both arms
were broken, the animal seeming
ly having used his hoofs alone in
the ferocious attack. He had
been regarded as a dangerous ami
NAL and was dehorned some time
ago. Mr.. Schanrock was 67..years
of age, a German by birth, and
had lived on his farm for thirty
years. He leaves bis wife,
daughter, Mrs. A. H. Hayden,
and two sons, both grown.

Grading On the MissIssippi CentraI.

The grading work on the Mis-
sissippi Central Railroad between
Brookhaven and Silver Greek is
progressing as fast as weather
conditions will permit. There
are five grading camps between
Brookhayen and Pearl River and
two between the Pearl and Silver
Creek.
At the Brookhaven end, about
half mile of grading has been
done by Messrs. F. B. Smith &
Son, who have the contract on the
first section out, and the timber
cleared away on about half mile
more of the right of way. The
grading work was at stand still
yesterday morning when Leader
representative rode over the
ground, because of the heavy rain
the evening before.
As stated in The Leader short
time ago, a spur track of the Mis-
sissippi Central will leave its main
line about a quarter of a mile
northeast of the old St. Charles
Mill, and come into Brookhaven
from there, while the main line,
according to the survey, will cross
the l. c. just above the old Col
tharp place, a mile north of the ].
g. depot. The grading already
done by Messrs. Smith & Son is on
this spur and begins at the tracks
of the Pearl River railroad, Just
east of the brick yard of Seayey
Sons, and between that point and
the village of Pearlhaven, and ex-
tends enthusiastically to about
where the junction will be made
with the main line. In other
words this spur of the Mississippi
Central will strike the track of
the Pearl River railroad, at
point between the brick yard and
Pearlhaven, and use the tracks of
the Pearl River from that point
down to the Brookhaven depot, as
long as the present depot arrange
ments continue.
1t is calculated that all of the
grading work will be completed
and part of the track laid be-
tween this place and Silver Greek
by next November.

"OLD BROWN. I"
4 True SLory d PaLrlOLIe Devotion.


Monticello is one Of the very
first places | ever heard of. 1t
came TO my attention in a way to
impress me yividly. When was
six years old my Father sold his
little home where / was born, in
Livingston parish, La, to a man
named John Wesley, from Month
cello. In the trade between them
my father came into the possess
sion OF d fine yoke Of oxen, named
Rough and Brown, which had
been used in moving Mr.. Wesley's
effects through that long stretch
of country. These oxen soon be-
came noted throughout the COM
munity for their good qualities
and wonderful strength. We
children could drive them or ride
them either with perfect safety,
land especially was ''Old Brown"
of a kindly disposition.
All went well for a while, but
Old Brown finally got homesick,
and one night he had a dream, as
it were, of those green pastures
and sweet waters in the valley of
1.-THE Pearl. So he arose and broke
the bounds of his habitation and
set his face steadfastIy toward
Monticello. He evidently saluted
lno man or beast by the Way. for
he was not molested in his onward
march. My father rightly guess
ed the good steers intention, and,
after making quick search of
the neighborhood, be mounted a
mustang pony and thought to
overtake him shortly and compel
Ibis return. But not so. Although
his limbs were thick and sluggish,
lthey were also very strong; SO
IOld Brown tagged not, nor slept,
nor drank, nor took any food un-
It'll he was far on his journey.
Many inquiries along the way
proved my father to be on the
right course, but did not indicate
that he was gaining ground. So,
after a long, weary ride he came
to the far away village, hearing
ever and anon some fresh news of
the fleeing OK. But Old Brown
Ehad reached there many hours
ahead and had already refreshed
himself on the bounties of his ma
tive heath, and the calm spirit of
other days had come over him
when he was found serenely chew
ling his quid, beneath the shadow
of the pines, and fast forgetting
his recent sojourn in the Flat
Woods" of Louisiana.
With feelings not altogether
sanity, father laid hold of the
gentle creature and sought to in
Iduce him to retrace his steps.
But he found him loath to leave
again those scenes made dear by
long association, and after twenty
miles of jerks and hard falls, my
father gave it up, and, with bleed
ling hands, was forced to barter
| the worthy beast for few paltry
dollars and leave him in the hands
of strangers.
/ know not what became Of
"Old Brown" but since l have
seen Monticello, | could wish for
him that be might have spent his
last days munching grass on the
verdant fields Of his caIfhood, and
that his bones might now lie
bleaching on the peaceful slopes
| of his native hills.
Not least among the many good
lessons that might be learned from
the life of this old OK, is strong
devotion to home and country a
lingering love for the old stamp
ling ground. N. I. I.

We note in number Of our ex-

dealers have been much heavier this
year than last. Our contemporaries
naturally view the circumstance with
some misgiving, Notwithstanding the
denial Of the leaders of the movement
that more fertilizers are being used
for cotton than formerly. The gov
ernment will make report as to the
acreage in June and then we will
know beyond o doubt whether the
Cotton Growers Association has ac-
complished it's purpose. If it is
shown that acreage has not been re-
duced, it will be proven that work
ing organization of farmers cannot be
accomplished, for never has a greater
effort been made nor has the need of
one ever been greater. We are hope

2 The present wheat situation in the
United States was the subject Of an
address by John q. Williams, of Wash
ington, before the recent meeting Of
the Association "For the Advance
ment Of Science According to Mr..
Williams, an increase in the consump-
tion of wheat has gone steadily for
ward in this country since 1901, while
the production has declined. so that
at present, temporarily at least, the
h me consumption and the home sup
ply just about balance, leaving but
little for export. Roughly stated, the
wheat crop of 1904 was 552, 900, 600
bushels, against 63s, 900, 900 in 1908,
and 74S, ,O00,O 900 in 1901.
