SAVED BY AN OPEN GATE

Selma, August n.-(special.) )-There was created no little excitement on Frank lin street today at noon by the attempt of an enraged COW to gore youth about years old. the son of Mr. and Mrs J. D. Lanham. A herd of cattle were coming up Franklin street and the little boy was playing on the sidewalk.
 One of the animals started after the youth and a chase for a half block right down the sidewalk commenced with wo- men and children on either side of the street yelling at the top of their voices Run! Runl Runi" Just as the animal was about to impale the youth on it's horns friendly gate half open furnished a means of escape and the boy fell pant ing into neighbours yard Had he fallen in his wild run he would possibly have been gored to death and it was indeed a narrow escape.
 Two Mnor Wrecks.
 The breaking down of two ears on the Southern railway caused some delay in traffic today. One of the cars was loaded with coal and the trucks broke just after the car had cleared a switch off the main line at the union passenger station.
