Billy" Anderson, superintendent of
mails in the local postoffice. is having
fine rest at Fremont, Neb, where
he and Mrs. Anderson motored late last
week for two weeks outing.
The most radical change Anderson
has experienced from the sport of dis

being freed by an angry bull while out
on a fishing trip. The Fremont Even

Anderson engaged in a 100yard race

viewpoint of the man up a tree.
Mr.. Anderson had left other MEM

with their fishpoles while he went back
after the crawdad bait which had been

the field when the hostile attitude of
the bull became apparent.

red necktie, Mr.. Anderson threw 1t
