Mistaking the tail of mule for an
electric light pull in the darkest cor
ner of his barn, John Mccarthy Of
Atlantic City, N. j., gave the supposed
contact line sharp jerk. The mule
responded to the pull with both hoofs.
AS a result of the mistake Mccarthy
was taken to the hospital with the
marks of the mules hoofs on his face
and side. He barely escaped being
stamped to death by rolling out OF
reach after he had been knocked
down.
