yard at will. Quick as flash he made
a lunge at row of men seated around
the straw stack. He seemed to have a
dead aim at 81 Sickle, who instead of
out of his way post haste
as did his near neighbors, laid back
against the stack, and throwing up his
No. 10 boots he worked them with the
velocity of an electric fan, emitting a
roar drowning that of the bull, which
so confused his bullship that he
plunged his head into the stack, miss
ng his mark foot. The sale was off
or Is minutes. and everybody doubled
themselves in the greatest laugh seen
or heard in Atwater. Even yet you
mention that scene to a spectator and
his sides don't begin to shake I'll
reat-to sandwiches--if you swipe
hem.
