OSTRICH WAS NO CHICKEN.

Bowled Over Pursuers and Made Col
ored Man Change Views.
Just because they thought an ostrich
was q timid, harmless sort of creature,
two men, one white and one black, were
badly hurt at Mineola, Long Island, yes
terday, says the New York World. Each
of the men tried to catch and hold an
ostrich at the Mineola fair grounds.
The negro was kicked in the face and
anded about twenty feet from the bird;
the white man was kicked in the chest
and knocked down and had his clothes
torn Off him.
The ostrich that did all the damage is
named Fleetwing. He and another os-
trich, named F1eetfoot, arrived from
Florida in two crates yesterday MORN
ing. They were brought to Mineola to
race on the fair grounds this week at
the fair Of the Queens-Nassau County
Agricultural Society. The birds have
been trained to run races and pull light
sulkies to which they are harncssed.
They are bad tempered, however, and
are kept blindfolded frequently when
they are not racing. A blindfolded o.
trich is gentle as a lamb.
The binding hood slipped off the eyes
of Fleetwing at the fail grounds yes
ttrday morning and in an Instant the
big bird was out of its crate, which was
not covered. 1t started off on a run,
and about 200 persons ran after it.
There was a merry chase around and
abound the racing track, and finally the
ostrich was cornered.
a big negro looked at the ostrich and
said:
Il reckon there amt nc chicken ever
were raised hat / couldn't hold, boss.
I'll hold his laig, an then you grab
bis haid."
The negro wrapped his arms about
one of Fleetwingis legs and in a Sec
ond was lifted into the air and landed
about twenty feet away. with an ugly
wound in the side of his face. Then
Keeper Ford approached the ostrich
from the front and got an uppercut on
his diaphragm. cutting his chest and
tearing his clothes. Finally the ostrich
was roped and recrated.
That amt no chicken" said the ne
gro as he watched these proceedings
from a safe distance. THAT there's a
tNo-laiged mule" o-

FARMER SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Dragged for Nearly Il Mile by Il Run
away Horse.

Andrew Nelson, a farmer living near
Hooker, was brought to Beresford Sat
urday in a serious condition as the re-
suit of an accident. 1t seems that
while driving a young horse he be-
came cold and tried to drive and walk.
The horse became frightened, and in
an effort to regain his seat in the bug
gy it was tipped over upon him. n
the running horse dragged him for
fully a mile. The animal then broke
loose and left hin pinned to the
ground. BY supcrhurnan effort he eX-
treated himself and walked to a near
by house, but not until both of his
hands We're BADLY frozen. His nose is
also broken, and a bolt wore its way
% the bone of one arm.

Many citizens of YanktOn nave long
been dissatisfied with the present wa

expert was engaged and a detailed
plan submitted. This met strong OPP
position, and more trouble was met in
the council. This body has at last
reached an agreement and has author
lied the calling of a special election to

bond issue to put in new mains and
carry out such other necessary repairs
as are thought necessary. 1t is believ-
ed this compromise plan will perhaps
