A serio-comic- tragedy occurred
near town the other day, in which
the whole gamut of emotional ex-

blackberry patch on his farm; he
also has a Jersey bull that is no re-
specter of persons. The other day
he heard the bull making a loud
noise out in the pasture, and started
post haste to sec what the trouble
was. AS he neared the scene he
was startled to hear feminine
shrek of distress. Hurrying for
ward he found "Old Buck" IT,
bull, paving and tearing up the
brush at the foot of small tree,
and clinging wildly to the small
limbs of the tree above the danger
mark was a well known lady in deep
distress. On offering his assistance
the lady told him to drive the bull
away and she would manage che
rest, 50 Mr.. Stewart secured a club
and chased "Old Buck"' to the
brush when he again heard another
squeal for help. Returning he
found that the lady had changed
position somewhat but had not come
down from the tree. Again he Of
fered assistance, but the lady tartly
called him fool and told him to
go On away, but when he had started

her why she did not climb down,

were not caught over. Finally by
hard work her rescuer succeeded in
releasing her from her precarious.
