Experience With Horse.

ole Bull one Of the horses which
pulls the steamer at No. fire station
Dit an ear off of L. E. Berger, one Of the
nremen, Sunday at 6 O'Clock and ate it
with evident relish.
Berger was hitching up at the time
preparatory to taking the steamer team
out with a drag for the purpose of
cleaning off the snow on the sidewalk
surrounding the headquarters station.
He was standing near to the horses

names at the bottom when "Ole Bull
turned his head and catching Berger
by the ear pulled him forward. shaking
him with his teeth. When Berger freed
himself his left ear had been completely
severed from his head. He fell into a
faint. Orson Baker, who saw the whole
performance, ran up and caught
the man in his arms.
Berger was removed to the dormitoTy
on the second floor and DR.. H. H. Keith
was summoned to dress the wound.
I don't know how successful we will
be in building up a new ear said DR..
Keith, 'I think, however. we have a
good foundation on which to build. We
couldn't find the portion of the ear BIT

have eaten it up. There is no flesh on
the ear, the whole rim being taken right

SUES THE SANTA FE.
Leavenworth Man Complains Road
Delayed a Cattle Shipment

Leavenworth, Kan. March I'm
c. Harvey yesterday through Attorneys
Dawes and Rutherford led suit IN the
district court against the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa F'e Railway company for
S7t5 for an alleged violation of its
agreement in falling to deliver in Chi
cago five carloads of beef cattle.
On February Is, 1904. Harvey for
valuable consideration contracted with
the Santa F'e to transport for him five
carloads of beef cattle belonging to
him, from the Harvey spur of track In
this county, and deliver the same at the
Union stock yards in Chicago. It was
agreed by the defendant to deliver
them within a reasonable time.
The cattle were loaded on cars on
February Is, 1904, ni1ety-f1ve head
being placed in five cattle cars. The
defendant well knew, 1t Is stated, that
the cattle were for sale upon the Chi
cago market. The cars left the spur
at 4;30 o'clock p m, on that day. They
should have arrived in Chicago before
8 o'clock p. m, Of February IS, 1904,
in plenty Of time to have been properly
fed SO that they would be in prime
shape for the early market in the fore
noon Of February H.
It is alleged that the company's rea-
son for not delivering the cattle on
time was because it was unable to fur
nish sufficient or suitable motive power,
but used in moving them an old, Grip
pied and unsuitable engine; that the
engine used in moving the cars out of
Kansas City broke down and refused
to work between Kansas City and Fort
Madison; and that the company, in
stead of getting a good engine, permit
ted the cattle to lay upon sidetracks at
various stations along the line.
The cattle got to Chicago at II a. m,
February Is. Had they arrived within
a reasonable time they could have
been easily disposed of, but as 1t was
Harvey says he did not get rid Of them
until the afternoon of February IS
when there was a drop in the cattle

and strengthened. The new apparatus Is
heavier and better than that which came
so near SUCCESSFULLY shutting in the well
