His Dog to the Rescue.

Last Monday Otto Gessel had an en-
counter with an enrayed bull tina
might have cost him his life. HI,
was in the pasture when the bull, tive
year-old Durham becoming angry made
for him at full speed. Otto attemp
ted to dodge the animal but was mo-
quite quick enough and was struck il
the side the shock nearly forcing him
TO the ground. AS he staggered for g
footing the bull turned and hunted
him again. This time he managed
with one hand to get hold of the ring in
the brute's nose and throwing one
arm around his neck tried to twist
the bulls head away to one side and
thus shut off his wind. At this
Juncture Otto's faithful dog who saw
his masters predicament sprang to the
rescue and grabbed Mr.. Bull by the
throat and held on until the animal
was willing to become docile Otto is
around again feeling quite sore and
weak but otherwise all right. 1t was
a close call -Elma New Era.
