Paul B. Messick has recently bought
from j. H. Stevens of Liverpool, N.
Y, the two-year-old HOlstein bull,
King Pontiac Vean Reefs, one of the
finest bred bulls in the world, being
by King Of the Pontiacs' that sold at
16 years of age for SIS, 900, a son of
his having sold during the past two
years for $50, 900. The Veman Beets
family, from which the dam of this
fine young bull comes. is also one of
the fanciest of the Holstein breed.
Mr.. Messick has been expecting the
bull to be shipped from New York for
several days, but is informed that

Almost lie Speed Limit.

AT ChattanooSa," said a veteran of
the Civil war, "One of the men in my
company left early in the action, and
no one saw him till after the battle,
when he appeared in camp unwounded
and unabashed. Some of the boys ac-
cused him of running away, but he
wouldn't admit it.
" L only retreated in good ORDER he
declared.
Il heard of the matter, and a few
days later l asked him if he had any
idea how fast he had 'retreated.'
"'Well, I'll tell you, cap'n,' he said.

IS CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP
Court Prosecutor, Insisting on Prisoner
Demonstrating How Hard He AS
sauted Man, Is Speedily Shown.

It happened in the courtroom during
the trial of a husky young man who
was charged with assault and battery,
relates the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Throughout an especially severe cross
examination the defendant stOutly
maintained that he had merely pushed
the plaintiff ga little bit"
''Well, about how hard?" queried the
prosecutor.
"Oh, just little Bit" responded the
defendant.
'Now," said the attorney. "fOr the
benefit of the judge and the jury, you
will please step down here and. with
me for the subject, illustrate just how
hard you mean"
Owing to the unmerciful badgering
which the witness had Just been
through, the prosecutor thought that
the young man would perhaps Overdo
the matter to get back at him, and thus
incriminate himself.
The defendant descended as per
schedule, and approached the waiting
attorney. When he reached him the
spectators were astOnished to see him
slap the lawyer in the face, kick him
In the shins, seize him bodily, and,
finally, with a supreme effort. lift him
from the floor and hurl him PROSTATE
across table.
Turning from the bewildered prose
cutOr, he faced the court and explained
mildly:

One-tenth that hard I"

Attempted Burglary at MiddIetOwn.

HlteHlpteu OUT < AIRY dl lHluul6tOWn.
Burglary was attempted on the ga
rage of Harry A. Burris, Middletown
early Thursday morning, and that the
burglar is not dead is more good luck
on his part than anything else. Mr..
Burris and Chief of Police Hillyard
had secreted themselves in the store
of the garage for several nights, on
account of a burglar having entered
the place Friday night of the pre-
vious week and Monday night of last
week. In each instance only a few
dollars had been left in the cash drawer
for change, but each night the money
was taken. Entrance was effected
each time through a back door, and
the third time the watchers heard the
burglar coming. AS he entered the
door he was commanded by Chief Hill
yard to halt, but wheeled around and
Oolted through a front door which he
had taken the precautiOn to open.
Chief Hillyard fired three shots at
him, the bullets entering the walls
of the stOreroom on a line with a
mans head. 1t was plainly seen that
the culprit was Negro, and it is
thought he will soon be apprehended.
