was gored to death by buffalo bull
shortly before noon yesterday
Because the water in the regular
watering trough in the buffola en-
closure was frozen, Anderson con-
ceiyed the idea of digging a hole in
the ground, where water for the ami
mails could be turned While engaged
in this work, the infuriated animal
quickly approached the keeper, who
ran for the nearest fence, but STUN
bled and fell to the ground before
reaching safety. With lowered head
the enraged bull sank his horns into
the PROSTATE mans body, piercing it
through and through.
Anderson in some manner eXtricat-
ed himself, but was again attacked.
This time the buffalo jammed his
head into the sorely wounded mans
stomach, causing Anderson to lie as
if dead, and the animal, seeing no
signs of life, moved away. When the
bull had disappeared over small hill
Anderson dragged himself over the
fence. Death followed within an nour.
Anderson was c. years old and had
been keeper of the ZOO in Riverview
park for fifteen years, previous to
which time he had been an animal

said. 1--WE don't plaster them over
with chalk to prevent the public from
seeing the unfinished condition Of the
interior, but to keep the workmen
from battering out the glass. Trans
parent glass looks just about as trans
parent as air to the man who is NOV
ing a wooden or iron beam, in a hur-
