Tries New Stunt Which
Creates Much Fun

I. W. Weythman, the popular
clerk in the FIRST National Bank
has assumed a new role. which soa,,

glory IN the PHILIPPINE war, but he
distinguished himself in a new role
which showed yalor and horseman.
snip, few evenings ago, when he
Volunteered to assist William pnr-
ter to bring young bull from
George McCroskey's farm, through
Pullman and take him TO Mr.. por-
ters ranch north of town.
Mr. Weythman volunteered, but
the bull did not, Weythman has al
ways volunteered. When the call was
sent out for men to fight the ma
lions battles he offered his services.
voluntarily and served with valor.
But the bull aid not volunteer. He
had to be drafted, ard thereby
hangs a tale. Mr.. Weythman's
friends are urging him to sue w.
NJ. Porter for damages, or false pre-
lenses or something, ana it. seems
that he would have good grounds
for so doing, for there is evidence
that MIR. Porter invited Mr.. Weyth-
man to take y pleasure trip" and
it "as with that UNDERSTANDING that
Mr.. Weythman accepted. The pleas
ure was not discovered. If there
was any pleasure in the trip it was
for those who watched TIE fight and
not for those who participated.
The hdll had ideas or opinions of
his own He seemed set in those
opinions and it required much argu-
ment and persuasion to change his
mind One of the opinions which
seemed to be firmly fixed in the bulls
mind Cif bulls have mind, which
some doubt was that he did not
want to go to the Porter ranch. He
made this ol inion manifest shortly
after he started Tor was started)
from the McCroskey ranch. Another
opinion ne seemed to possess was
that there was no hurry 1t Is less
than two miles from the McCroskey
to the Porter ranches, and it requir-
ed two and One-half hours to make
the journey, which shows that the
bull was iii no hurry to change
boarding places. Another opinion
the Dull seemed to harbor was that
Mr. Weythman was an intruder and
largely responsible for the circum-
stances which aroused the ire OF mis-
bullship. He tried to show Mr.
Weythman that he resented such in
reference with his liberty and did
so 10 many ways.
On Grand street the bull saw a
good opportunity to even no with
Mr.. Weythman, and he upset horse
ana rider. Mr.. Weytkman landed
with agility some distance away, but
was not seriously hurt, although
shaken up and bruised to some ex-
tent, for man, bull and horse were
badly tangled up when the collision
occurred. Some time Messrs. Porter
and WeythmaL led the bull and there
were times when the bull led Messrs.
Porter and Weythman and their
horses, and those we're the only times
when the bull exhibited any desire
to make haste, and he made some
good time, as he dragged horses and
riders through the streets.
But Mr.. Weythman is not the kind
of men who quit because there is OPP
position. He got his back bowed,
too" and was as determined, now that
he had started in, that the bull should
be landed at the Porter ranch as the
bull was that he would not, and the
fight waged warm and fast at times,
but after nearly three hours Mr..
Weythman's friends saw him return
ing from Mr.. Porter's ranch, where
the bull had been safely landed. Mr.
" eyGhman is somewhat sore over the
rough work but IS receiving congrat-
ulations on the pluck shown and the
valiant fight he made. When the bull
upset his mare it was feared rider
or mare would be badly hurt, bht
both escaped without any serious in
Jury and Mr.. Weythman was work
ing hard IN the bank the next morn
