BULL PLUNGEs INTO BANK
Snoring Bovine, Which Causes Panic
In Sioux City, Is Captured After
an Hours Struggle.

Sioux City, IA f~erocious bull be-
ing driven to the stock yards by Il
Fish, farmer, broke away as he
mounted the viaduct and caught first
view Of the packing houses. The
frenzied animal gored Fish and his
horse. severely iniuring both.
Believing and snorting in his fury,
he rushed through Fourth street,
Sioux City's principal business high
way, chasing pedestrians to owe and
spreading terror on all sides, winding
up his mad rampage by breaking into
the First National bank, Fifth and
Pierce streets, causing a panic among
officials and clerks. The rampage
was ended when the bull became
wedged in the revolving doors, where
he paved and kicked in desperation,
evidently determined to clean out the
money temple.
The fire department was called out
to aid the police. The animal was las
seed and bound after an hour OF
m%anoeuvring in the presence of an ex
cited crowd which would have done
credit to a Mexican bull fight assem-
blage.

NORTH MAY FORM A REPUBLIC
Secession Contemplated If Attack on
Torreon is Longer Delayed-Plans
Of Rebels Given.

Vera Cruz, Feb. 24.-The command
er OF the German cruiser Dresden has
shipped to the German legation in
Mexico City two machine guns and
forty thousand rounds OF ammunition.
Accompanying the shipment went a
squad of blue jackets from the Ores
den in civilian dress.
Picked American Guard.
The detail of blue Jackets on duty
at the American consulate here has
been withdrawn and replaced by a
guard Of picked marines.
This step was taken after General
Gustaye Mas. commander of the fed
eral forces here, had been notified
and given. his consent.
Plan Separate Republic.
Chihuahua.-Sentiment is growing
among rebel leaders it was declared
here that if the attack on TOrreon is
delayed much longer, or if the federal
army succeeds in holding that city,
northern Mexico will detach itself
from the rest Of the country and be-
come a republic.
While General CarranZa, the civil
head of the revolution, and General
Villa, the military head, disclaim any
intention to be satisfied with anything
less than the overthrow of Huerta and
the success of the constitutionalist
cause over the entire country, it is
known that the plan to establish a
northern republic has been seriously
considered.
Scope Of Republic.
The territory which it is said,
might be formed into a separate re-
public embraces the five states along
the United States border-Sonora.
Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and
Tamaulipas, with possibly the inclu-
sion of Sinaloa. From practically all
this territory the TIuerta army has
been driven out, the chief remaining
| strongholds of the federals being at
Tampico on the east, Monterey, Sal
tillo and Torreon on the south; Quay
mas on the west and Nueyo Laredo
and Piedras Negras on the north.
AS suggesting that the revolutionary
leaders may have to content them
selves with their victories in the
north, officials high in the rebel gov
eminent point out that one reason for
the overthrow of President Madero
was that he represented the ideals OF
the north at the seat OF government
in the south where progress has not
kept pace With the northern stetes.
That BY delaying his attack on Tor
reon, General Villa has lost some of
the prestige which he gained in the
quick victory at Ojinaga II conceded
here.

The Crazy Mountain schoolhouse Is

Into this school last spring came
Miss Angelina Barker, as teacher,

they had no fire. Most Of the pupils

At school the flowers were placed in
textbooks and magazines, and in the
absence Of a flower press the boys
and girls would sit on them. At home
the flowers were put in books under

found. One boy placed two sacks OF

est thing he could find was the large
