 Both men ran for the fence. but were unable to reach it, and took refuge in tree.
 The bull held them there for two hours, and in the meantime terrific thunder storm came up.
 Bolts of lightning struck twice in a small patch of woods within 100 feet of them. while they were prisoners of the animal.

One of the most interesting state
naents made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during the
past year, is made by E. H. Lambert
q retired business man, whose nome Is
at lis Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines: "Some time ago l read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most i'll health.
He went on to say that, although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom'
ach in sound condition, it wonld, in
many cases, remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause of sickness, anc
stated that the success he has hat
with his medicines was due entirely
to this fact.
81 am now fully convinced that thi
theory is correct, and believe Coope
has a really remarkable medicine
