UGLY BULL WENT ON
A RAMPAGE FRIDAY
Injured superintendent of Mt. Hermon
Farm and Killed Valuable
Livery Horse-Shot
Afterward.

Moonstone of Barclay, the bull at the
head of the Mt. Hermon school herd OF
Ayrshire cattle, ran amuck last Friday af-
ternoon after being unloaded from a freight
car in the local yard, injuring Frank G.
Helyar, superintendent of the agricultural
department. Of Mt. Hermon, and killing a
valuable livery horse, owned by Il. R.
Brown. After being driven back into the
car the bull was shot. Mr.. Helyar re-
ceived fractured collar-bone and numer-
GUS scratches and bruises. The trouble
started while Mr. Helyar was leading the
bull up Vernon street. About opposite
the freight house the animal threw up his
head suddenly, breaking the staff attached
to the ring in his nose. Mr.. Helyar plucki-
ly grasped the broken staff close to the
bulls nose but the animal reared again,
throwing Mr.. Helyar into the air in such
a way that he landed on his head and
shoulders in the mud. Close by was the
livery team which Mr.. Helyar had hired to
use in going to and from the fair grounds
Before anyone could interfere the angry
animal made dash at the horse, driving
one horn into the creatures side. The
horse ran few hundred feet and then fell
few moments. Several bystanders helped
drive the bull back into the freight car
where he was made fast while Mr.. Helyar
hurried to Woods store and hired rife
from which he fired three shots into the
creatures body. Because Of his injuries
Mr.; Helyar was unable to shoot accurately
and the bullets had no apparent effect.
Meanwhile a considerable crowd had
gathered and there was much speculation
as to what should be done. AT length
butcher was secured and another bullet was
fired into the bulls head This killed the
animal instantly and the carcass was at
once bled and then taken to Richardson's
slaughter-house to be dressed. In the
meantime Mr.. Helyar had been taken to
the Memorial hospital where his injuries
were given attention.
The bull was valuable animal, for which
$500 had been offered recently, but of late
had shown signs of an evil temper. While
being led from the Greenfield fair grounds
to the station Friday morning the bull
became frightened near the Germania house
and threw its attendant, H. L. Gibbs,
Mt. Hermon student, bruising him so that
it was necessary to take him to the hospi-
tai for treatment.
The butchers who dressed the carcass
found to their great surprise that one of
the bullets fired by Mr.. Helyar had passed
directly through the bulls heart although
apparently it made not the slightest i'm
preston. The horse that was killed was
seven-yearold bay valued at over 5000.

LOCAL MAN THE HOST.
Boston Artists Gather at Studio of
E. G. Titus.

MONDAYS Boston Globe contained an il
Illustrated account of a studio party given
by Earle G. Titus, Brattleboro boy who
is now employed on the Globe. The story
follows:
Earle C. Titus's little party, which began
at his shrine of art at ga Park square Sat
urday afternoon and continued through the
evening, proved one of the most delight
fully interesting and enjoyable Bohemian
studio receptions which are feature OF
life in the artists colony of Boston and
was the formal opening of the winter sea-
son of these events.
As a host Mr.. Titus doesn't leave any
thing to be desired and the very large
number of his friends who attended the
reception were impressed by the degree
of success which he attained as an enter
tainer.
There was the daintiest, most varied
and apparently inexhaustible supply OF
refreshments one can possible imagine,
but the crowning success of the epicure' s
art was fruit punch prepared by John
Buffers, who also had not forgotten to
provide the most alluring tea table and
the appointments for the ladies.
Mrs. Paul Brown came with her husband,
and Mrs Harry Hahlbeck, who came with
hers. chaperoned the lady artists, who
were out in quite some considerable num-
bers, while Paul Brown and Harry Hahl
beck mingled some with the male contin-
gent, which was considerably larger nn-
merically than the delegation of lady de
voices at the shrine of art.
Miss Esther Rabbit. in a rose-coIored
empire gown, presided and poured for a
while and later she was followed by the
Misses Ruth Gray, Mary Murray, Mildred
Kennedy, Mary Leonard. May Coppinger

Climbing Stratton Mountain.

Editor Reformer:
Your last issue containing list of peo-
pie who have climbed Stratton mountain
recently suggested to the writer a couple
of consecutive mid-winter visits to Old
Manicknung's summit, when he had the
pleasure of greeting the dawn of a new
year from the top of tree on the summit
of the north peak. That must have been
over 20 years ago. Since which time |
have twice camped for night on the
mountain, the only locality hereabouts
where the Hudson's Bay Titmouse-that
rusty. spluttery cousin of our vivacious
chickadee, can be found in the midsummer
months. A paper-weight made from a
cross-section of a storm-distorted black
spruce trunk growing on the mountain 5
summit, plainly indicated the extreme
slowness of plant growth in such localities
by its well-nigh microscopic rings of annual
growth. Seth Allen.

elevators of art, and all of them were
powned and groomed in manner some
times called chic.
There was something happening every
instant and everything was so agreeable,
SO interesting and so perfectly enjoyable
that this initial reception in the TITUS
studio will in all probability for, long
delightful Bohemian studio receptions will
be patterned.
One of the intensely interesting events
of the afternoon was the sudden and un-
announced arrival of Willie Sturges Mr..
Sturges is very popular in the artist col
ony, and Saturday afternoon an imposing
place in the reception room was occupied
by lifesize oil painting of him, but it
was taken out in the early evening when
of artists dropped in at the reception IN
the evening and everyone enjoyed, the car,
toons of Mr.. Sturges, which all agreed
were real good. Mr.. Sturges didn't say
what he thought of the cartoons, though
he thought a lot about them.
Another event which pleased everybody,
especially the lady artists who gazed upon
the scene with soulful eyes, was the pre-
sentation to the host of the evening by
Frank Collier of handsomely framed pic.
ture, depicting John Buffers in the act OF
handing Mr. Titus something in the midst
of the festivities.
The picture was true to life and the one
who drew the picture did it with prophetic
vision, for it all turned out just as the
artist made it. There was a real cloth
vest (weskit) on the manly form of the
honored host, while there was real hair in
the abundant mustache of Mr.. Buffers.
Mr.. Collier was eloquent in his presenta-
ton speech and Mr.. Titus responded in a
very pleasing but brief speech of accept
ance. After the presentation there was
resumption of piano playing, the singing
and the story telling which make studio
reception different from others.
There wasn't anybody there who couldn't
do something entertaining and when Mr.
Titus's party broke up there wasn't sin
gle one of the guests who didn't aspire
to give a party just like it at least once
week. If the studio reception season APP
proximates the pattern set it will be one
of the liveliest and loveliest Boston has
ever seen.
