BULLS ATTACK TRAIN.
Leader Was Killed and Herd Besieg.
ed Passengers for Hours.

At point on the railway line be-
tween Miraybel and Canaverei, on
the Spanish side of the boundary line
between Miraybel and Canaverel,
occurred an odd sort of bull fight.
A train had just come out on a
sweeping curve from the hills and
down upon a little plain when
the engineer saw directly before him
herd of bulls on the tracks, says the
New York Sun. Bulls are an import
ant commodity in Spain, and, more
over, some Of these were destined for
the arena.
Now these bulls seemed little dis
posed to retire from the tracks. The
engineer slowed down as best he
could, at the same time blowing his
whistle vigorously. Whereupon all
the bulls fed with the exception OF
one-a great fellow, quite fit for the
arena. This one, with horns lower
ed and roaring as if in response to
the shrieked defiance of the engine,
made straight for the train.
It was too late to prevent COL
lision. Train and bull came together,
head on. The bull was, Of course, in
stantly killed, but his carcass lay un-
der the wheels of the locomotive so
that it was impossible for the train to
proceed until the track had been
cleared. To clear it was too great a
task for the train hands. The con-
ductor called the male passengers to
his aid and they crowded about the
engine.
In the meantime the great herd Of
bulls, scenting the blood of their dead
leader, came focking back, paving
and threatening. The nearer they
came the more infuriated they grew,
and finally they charged like whirl-
wind on the little band of workers.
Then all the men abandoned their
task, and took refuge in the cars.
The bulls followed them to the very
steps, believing and paving. For
quite a time the spectacle was pre-
sented Of herd of bulls besieging a
railway train filed with passengers.
Fortunately there were soldiers
aboard, and these soon organized a
sortie. Finding spot where the bulls
were not in force they picked up a
quantity of stones and hurled them
at the animals. The bulls recoiled,
charged again, recoiled once more;
and for two hours the battle ragged,
victory seeming to be with one side
and now with the other. At last as
night came on, the bulls withdrew
and betook themselves to some dis
tant shelter. Then the employees
and passengers were able to set to
work again. The track was cleared
and the train proceeded on it's way.

of Jim and his lantern, but as for
Jack-o-lantern he feared him thous-
and times worse than all the Yam
kee guns he had ever faced in four
years service. And somehow, the
colonel saw not one, but some hum
dred or more real Jacks pursuing
him, and under no condition would
he allow one to get near him. Now,
as it was, Jim was trying his best to
catch the colonel, and the colonel
was doing his best to avoid Jim, for
he was sure that Jim with his lantern
was really Jack with his lantern.
This thing was kept up long time,
and by good luck the colonel found
the way to his own home, and when
he did he lost no time in entering.
When he entered, his good wife OF
course wanted to know what had kept
him out so late such an awful night.
Said the colonel: 81 started to walk
over to friend Jim's, but got lost,
and the first thing 1 knew, jack-o-
lantern got after me, and then an
other and another and so on till the
whole jack-o-lantern tribe was trying
to catch me, and I trying my best to
keep out of their way. Now, l am as
scared as a frightened rabbit, as wet
as a drowned rat, as cold as a frozen
frog, and as drunk as a billed OWL"
Colonel" said his wife, whose
fault is it that you have come to so
much grief?"

see you put on your war-paint, get
on the war-path, put on your lighting

"Well, may be 1 do wife, but I'm
not imagining about those jacks.
They were there with the goods on
them, and they wanted me, but you
can bet your sweet life they didn't
get me tonight. Shakespeare says:
Conscience does make towards of US
ALL but I am willing to bet at great
odds that field of Jacks such as
I saw tonight will beat con-
science ten in the game when
it comes to making coward

feathers all over me. Scald me like
chicken, for l want no one to see

Four years of war and brave; four

Keep this matter, wife, to yourself.
Put it away among the other skele-
tons in the closet. Tell it not in

They Testified Against Him.

His Clothes.

Philadelphia, Oct S.-Hls mother
testifying that she believed he had
placed iodine In the food prepared for
the family for supper and that he had
attempted to kill her, his father and
sister with knife, John Warnock
eighteen years old. of this city, was
held in 1000 bail for further hear
ing Friday by Magistrate MacFarland
The youth will be examined as to his
sanity.
There was no direct evidence to sus-
tain the mothers suspicion that War
mock had attempted to poison the fam
ily's supper. she believed he had
placed iodine in the food, she said
because a partly filed bottle of the
drug had been found in the dining
room cupboard. Warnock denied the
charge, stating that II he had desired
to commit SO desperate an act he
could have done so long ago.
Besides the mother and father, a
brother, Joseph, and Jesse Berner, and
the latter's wife, Margaret, the de-
PENDANTS sister, would have eaten the
however, because Of their fears. The
mother and other members of the
family testified, tho mother being as
sisted by an interpreter.
The mother declared her son also
had threatened the life Of herself, his
father and sister by rushing after
them with a knife. During this alleg-
ed attack and the commotion In the
house, Martinelli, policeman of the
district, was attracted and placed War
mock under arrest.
The youth said he had been out Of
work for some time, but had got a
position and had come to the house,
in which all the members of both fam
lilies resided, to get his clothes. He
contended that he was disliked by all
of them and cried when they testified
against linn. He explained that he de-
sired to take his clothes away because
he had obtained position out Of the
city.
Asked why he had rushed after
members of the family with a knife,
Warnock said he merely tried to
frighten them. The mother testified
that he had attempted to injure her
and her married daughter with knife
several weeks ago. She was not GER
tain that he had taken iodine from the
bottle and placed It In the food, the
lessened quantity In the bottle being
the only support Of her suspicion.

ADMITS He IS A DYNAMITER.
lropworkers' Business Agent Changes
His Plea to Guilty.

Indianapolis, Oct. S.-A sensation
surprising that caused by the district
attorneys denunciation Of II. s.
Hockin on Saturday came In the dyna-
mite cases when the district attorney
announced at the opening Of court that
Edward Clark, business agent of the
Cincinnati local Of ironworkers, want
ed 10 change his plea of not guilty to
one of guilty. AS the announcement
was made every eye in the courtroom
was leveled upon Clark, who rose and
walked to the judges stand.
"Do you plead guilty?" asked Judge
Anderson.
81 plead guilty." said Clark.
The prisoner was then separated
from the other Sorty-ffve defendants
and taken to jail to await the impos-
ing of his sentence. Clark pleaded
guilty to all charges, FIVE counts OF
conspiracy and fifty counts of being
a principal to the actual illegal inter
state shipment Of dynamite and nitro
glycerin.
Clark was business agent and presi
dent Of local union A of the Inter
national Association Of Bridge and
Structural Ironworkers from January,
1908, to July, 1911. His activities In
promoting explosions, Mr.. Miller as
serted, were carried on through letters
written by Frank NJ. Ryan, president
Of the union, and the McNamaras. An
ivory handled umbrella bearing the
initials "E. c." found in the wreck
age Of a dynamited bridge at Dayton,
o., Mr.. Miller said, led to the dis
closure that Clark actually had caused
the explosion, having used the um-
brella 10 protect the dynamite from the
rain, then leaving 1t behind. Clark
was charged with carrying out plots
against employers Of nonunion labor.
In connection with a scheme to blow
up the Harrison avenue viaduct at Gin
cinnai, Mr.. Miller alleged Clark wrote
to Ryan: "It would be dangerous for
me to buy explosives down here. You
had better send a stranger. / have
got one man out OF lot of trouble
already. am afraid l can't do much
more, for the police Judge said, For
Gods sake don't bring this bunch
before me again or I'll have TO do
something"
