SAVES LIFE BY RIDING BULL

A Cheyenne (Wyo.) man, while at
tempting to drive a bull to pasture the
other day, in some way angered the
animal and was cornered in corral.

hard, and to save himself he leaped
from his saddle to the animals back.
Then began series of plunges, but
the riders COW punching days stood
him in good stead, as he chung to the
animals shaggy name. One of the
rushes brought him close to the fence,
and the man leaped from the animals
back, going over the top rail as the
animal started to gore him.

Recently they took fifty-four pounds
of catfish from the log at one haul,
one weighing thirty-six pounds and
another eighteen pounds.
Messrs. Draper and Henderson

however. walked boldly up to the briar
as it lay on its well burned side in the
drawer. Death must have been instan-

this morning there was not the slightest
suspicion of struggle.
His head was deep in the bowl, and
peaceful expression marked the wave
of his tail. Several reporters and edi-
tors gathered around to look at the sight,
and no one ventured a remark.
The owner of the pipe picked it up,
mouse and all. and gave them both a
