WILD STEER SHOT.
Was a Nuisance and Menace to
Citizens of Elkhart.

While Low Simpson, the butcher,
was driving a bunch of beef cattle
from Charlotte township some time
ago, one of the steers escaped and has
proved himself a great nuisance as
well as menace to the citizens of
that neighborhood. He became as
wild as deer, would hide in the
dense woods during the day and for
age on the corn fields during the
night He became vicious and would
show fight toward anyone who came
upon his hiding place. Ike Lock-
ridge came upon him suddenly in the
timber and the steer came at him like
catapult, and Ike Skinned I'D a
bush. He and his wife were driving
home from church one night when
the steer chased them, and their horse
was put to the test to outrun it. Last
week young Fritz, who had been an
noyed by the wild steer foraging on
his corn, took his winchester to the
woods with him, and discovering Mr..
Steer about 100 yards away, sent a
bullet square between his eyes. Mr..
Simpson was notified and sent and
got his beef. The neigbhors are
mighty thankful to Mr.. Fritz for his
excellent shooting, thereby removing
an intollerable nuisance.
