COPS DO SOME LASSOlNG

Texas bull got scared and threw
Itself into high yesterday around
the noon hour and before the most nim-
BILE of traffic cops could twist the bull s
tail all the way back to neutral the bull
Tenderloin and finally northward along
half a mile OF Fifth avenue. All that
the traffic cops could do was to swing the
, cross street stop signs at the bull
and the signs were all painted red.
"Ofticer!" screamed a prominent mem
ber Of the Fifth Avenue Association at
Fiftieth street TO a cop who was tryins
to throw the bull. Officer. the Fifth
Avenue Association will vote you a
medal and $1,000 H you shoot the bull
southwark into o. NOON hour coat max.

the Thirties. Alta boy"
But just then the bull began to be
obsessed with the idea that he was
Orville Wright and tried to loop the loop
between the twin spires of the cathedral
And in the subsequent excitement the
OF Fiftieth street that the last chance to
! work the animal south into the coat
makers was gone forever.
Cops Had Best of Intentions.
! And II the poor old fool bull only

tions. Not a cop along the route. which
extended from Thirty-ninth street and
Eleventh avenue all the way east and
north to Fifty-ninth street and Fifth
avenue. would have harmed the bull. All
I that the police wanted to do was to lead
the bull kindly and gently back to al
| Eleventh avenue slaughter house so that
| the nice old bull could be beaned between
the eyes with a sledse hammer.
But this bull. it seems. early got the
notion that the best the cops or any one
else along the line OF march had to onei
1t was the worst end of everything
, Wherefore. once the bull had jumped into
, high and started to get rid Of the NORTH
River. II broke more traffic laws ani
other statutes made and provided thar
old John Doe and his cousin, Richard
Roe, have shattered in their entire Grim
inal careers.
I The bull. which had Just come from
! Texas. and theoretically was to go rish
straight into Stern Brothers abattoir, a
Eleventh avenue and Thirty-ninth street
! had had it's whole day started wrong by
/ being first compelled to go to Communi
| paw. Then the bull was ferried up ant
across the North River in a cattle barg'
and at last found itself in bull pen ii
Eleventh avenue. just below Forfeit
| street.
Another Kind of Bull.
On the east side of the avenue was I
signboard showing another bull of thu
/ Durham breed. The Durham bull WASH
{ a regular bull. but it looked like one, a.
its painted body seemed to stand ou
truculently just above the painted pic
ture of a part of a fence not high enough
to conceal the painted bulls features.
The real bull from Texas took n lool
and a lunge and a leap and landed ou
on the Eleventh avenue pavement. In
stantly II seemed to realize that tn
Durham bull was only painted thinl
and thereupon ignored it.
While the Texas bull was engaged II
