WILD BULL CHASE
IN C|TY'S STREETS
That Animal Just Refused to
Hearken to "Sukey."
That's Cow Talk.
KEEPS SALT OFF HIS TAIL

before lunch time they thought 1t would
be nice to- stroll around the Monument
grounds Her friend is one Of those non-
Ichalant chaps who cannot possibly be
surprised at anything, and he was tell
ing her q story:
Il didn't have any idea he was going
to say that" explained her friend. mo
idea. in the world; no more idea
THAN" He paused for a comparison.
Then he found one and continued:
mo more idea than that big bull that
is chasing after us right from behind
that tree"
And the Bull Kept Going.
Little Mary Green looked around. ut
tered a wild squawk and disappeared
utterly out of this story and all that
pertains thereto. So did her friend, but
the bull kept on. straight across the
Monument lot, while skirmish line of
the city's best bluecoats struggled on
in pursuit.
| All this happened because Maj. Tur-
ner, colored. who afterward told Capt.
Dan Sullivan Of the third precinct that
he is a professional bull driver. hap
pened to lose control of fine flock OF
bulls that he was personally conduct
ing from somewhere in Virginia or
Maryland Che didn't exactly know
| where).
The major came to town with his
flock of bulls on Friday afternoon. and
| everything went fine until the bulls
caught sight OF a big red puiidang.
Exactly what happened no one but Maj.
| Tnrner knows. and he seems to be a
non-communicative professional bull
driver, who holds great store by the
ethics Of bull driving; At any rate e the
| "lookouts' informing them that In ad-
dition to lost pocketbooks. automobiles
and stolen gas pipe they were expected
| to round up a passed. of wild bulls that
| professional bull driver.
Some of these fancy-free bulls spent
| a glorious evening browsing meath the
starlit skies of Potomac Park, and
fold and caressed gently. by Maj.
Turner. who is a great hand with q
| base ball bat or a fence rail when 1t
| bun that caught sight of little Mary's
| red dress yesterday refused to be
corralled. He just frisked his tail and
would not allow any one to put salt
on it.
Then DR.. Eller Takes Hand.
| This brings the story down to yes
terday at noon, when DR.. Bob Filler.
who spends his spare time showing the
police show to be well built, was called
| into consultation. DR.. Eller looked over
| the field, and saw in the dim distance q
| rather sturdy docking OLD bull who ut
| tered low and thunderous mutter
! when any one approached him. Hail
dozen men had endeavored to use their
| "Sukey" to the animal. but "Sukey"
didn't mean anything to Maj. Turner's
| bull, who seemed to take II as chal-
Ienge. and at every "sukey the bull
| and impressive charge. rs-sassS--I
Makes After That Bull.
Then Mr.. Filler. who admits that his
favorite opera is Carmen" and his
| one best bet is always the "Toreador
Song" mounted on a jitney. and. with a
lariat made of piece OF Georgetown
clothesline. made after that bull. Tne
| bull saw 1t coming and moved off again.
He went deeper into the rec.sses OIL
| Potomac Park, and whenever he would
| get a hundred yards anead or the Pc
| suers. who were adopting the British
! tank" methods. he would turn around
and make bullish sounds. But the
(, pursuers were not a bit scared. Some
| where near the Department Of Agri
! culture DIR. Ellcr got close enough to
| the bull to swing the iariat over the
| 1t. IL he had been rope dancer
all his life. From that point he
skipped lightly down into the farthest
END of the park and snorted wild
snort, and was lassoed again. This
| time they thought they had him, tut
| the bull gave hunch to his shoulders
| and broke the rope.
Thought Mexican Revolution On.
| Then the wild jitney. in which the
! pursuers were riding. seemed to take
a second lease Of life. and just hurtled
into the air like a broncho. and the
bull, with q howl Of terror, went
| scuttling northward. kicking his heels
| and raising Cain. He tore up by the
| side of the State. War and Navy De-
partment, with the gasoline cowboys
| coming on behind him with open muf-
| fer and the larfat swinging In the air.
| thought that Mexican revolution was
| o.i. and took to the steps. The cowboys
! warned all hands to take to cover. a..u
a colored man who hustled a small
child out of the way had his pants
! neatly ripped by the bull. VINO was
heading for Connecticut avenue.
| The bull headed west and took to a
! side street.
Tied With Anti Skid Chains.
| But just ABOUT there the unerrinR
hand Of DR.. Eller slipped the lariat
through the air again. and this time
the loop fell true. and young Mr.. Bull
| found himself caught. DIR. Eller slipped
from his saddle" as 1t were, unfast-
ened the tool box and took out a pair
of anti-skid chains. and. having told the
bull to Keep quiet. he fastened those
| chains right around that big bulls
horns and tied him to, a tree.
| Dust. at this point some one tele-
phoned to The Star that wild bull was
! chained to tree at 10Th ana E streets
| and that he had better send a photog-
rapher and a reporter there quick. Tue
| city editor picked out a rea-neadeu
| photographer. and. looking over his
stock OF uull reporters. sent down
man no carries a pile of acct in
| surance. The reporter arr ed too Ia e,
| but the Photographer beat him to IL
and got a picture. Then the reporter
followed the trail through the third
precinct station, where capt. Danny
/ Sullivan made a statement. Give ca.

Say. thought they had a wild west
show down there. This precinct has

weddings and receptions to g.. nd mel.
