growing the finest grapes. He brought a

Harrison Swab, of Hunter Station,
had an experience with cross bull Tues
day of last week which he doesn't care to
have repeated. The animal is stray
three yesr-old Jersey which had been
staying about his farm for a number OF
days. While he was driving his COW to
pasture in the morning he was attacked
by the bull, which suddenly became
cross and butted him through barbed
wire fence. tearing off most of his clothes
and considerably bruising him. The
fact that the fence was near probably
saved Mr.. Swsb's life as he had nothing
with which to defend himself and the
maddened brute could not get through
the wires. Mr.. Swsb and his father, Geo.
Swab, drove the animal away with pitch
forks. The owner had better look after
the critter before he does any other dam
age, as he is certainly dangerous while
at large.
