WILD STEER
RUNS AMUCK

While the people in Portage were
enjoying the pleasures of playing
bands, the sounds of the calliopes and
seeing the gold-glittered tableau wag-
one of a circus parade passing through
the down town district, there was a
Iivelier scene in the railroad yards that
would put any wild west show or Next
can bull fight in the back ground, and
it was the real article, too.
About noon while placing wild
steer on the scales at the Portage
stock yards the animal broke loose
and ran amuck in the railroad yards,
and as a result three men received in
juries, and more than a score of en-
plOyees had the chase of their lives
illustrating the motto safety first"
to a nicely.
According to the Portage Register,
the steer charged over into the rail
road yard, ran up the tracks, and next
charged upon hand car upon which
several men were eating their monday
lunch. The animal struck a Mr.. Nehls
and bruised him considerably. The
animal next tackled lone traveller
who came over from Camp Rest. Hit
ting him glancing blow that threw
him ten feet in the air, the steer under

someone caught the rope which was

into submission by being snubbed to a
post.

Just before reaching Third avenue,
it was a little up grade, so / gave
her little more gas. We turned the

have forgotten to turn the gas off, and
as it was little down grade, the lit

expedition On her own account. Well,
she began rambling down grade at
such a rate of speed that-well,
don't know, but am inclined to think
that I got just little bit excited.

brake pedal and think I hit the throt-

[ don't know whether 7 hit it or not
if I did I hit it wrong. Well, we
hit the curb, we bit the tree bank, the
sidewalk, the dooryard, and the corner
of the house right in the center of the
radiator.
Now, when we hit the corner of the
house we stopped, but I don't think
that was what stopped us, for when
| came to and investigated, I found
the emergency brake was set, and if
had not got that brake set I think
we would be going yet. Well, after I
had come to I felt like Uncle Josh rid

your Uncle Josh.-But when / come
to think of it seriously, think 1 will
go out some day and see if I can climb

FIRST EXPERIENCES IN RUNNING
AN AUTOMOBILE AS RELAT-

(By w. D. Atwater)

Well. [ have heard a considerable
about the little old Ford's rambling,
and / think she is quite rambler,
from what little experience I have
had, providing you keep an eye on her.
I do not like the way she rambles,
however, when left to her own devices.
Having purchased an auto I naturally
wanted to learn to run it, SO I thought
the proper thing to do was to pro-
vide a chaperon Q think that is what
you would call it, to keep watch of
me to see that I did not turn turtle,
go boating in the river or some other
foolish thing.
I climbed into the drivers seat as
big as any of them and as uncon-
cerned as I would into the seat Of a
buggy. Well, we rambled up Oak
street to Eighth avenue, thence up
Eighth avenue to Broadway, and so
on until we reached West street. !
think it was West, / got somewhat
mixed up soon after striking that
street and am not certain what street
it was. My chaperon said he wanted
should learn to make the corners.
Well, got along so nicely up to this
time that my chaperon no doubt
thought I was capable of handling the
little tin can. Now don't know
whether he was asleep or viewing the
scenery, but anyway just about that
