WIN. ALBIN rRAMPLED BY A
FERocloUs BULL. SATURDAY

William Albin, erstwhile Tramway
conductor and now prosperous far
mer, living northwest of town on the
Ralston road, came within narrow
margin Of losing his life last Satur-
day evening, by being trampled un-
der the hoofs of ferocious bull, be-
longing to c. W. Uothrop.
Mr.. Albin keeps his milk cows in
Mr.. Lothrop's pasture, and was in
the course Of his daily routine Of
milking when the mad bull attack
ed him, knocking him down and pro-
eeeding to paw him viciously. When
Mr.. Albin saw he was in for tustle
his Irish dander got up and he de-
cided to give the bull run for his
money, so he managed to grab the
ring in the bulls nose and held on
for dear life. This probably saved
his life, for it kept the bull some
what at bay until assistance could ar.
rive.
Fortunately, William J. Evans. liv-
ing across the way, heard Mr.. Albin
calling for help, and grabbed shot.
gun and pitchfork and started to
ti's> rescue. He prodded the bull in
the shoulders until he caused him to
the back away, and taking the gun,
shot him in the shoulders and sides,
causing him to rush away with rage
and pain while Mr.. Albin managed
to get up and drag himself to his
home, where he was found to be bad
ly injured. DR.. Foster was called At
lonce and after careful examination
pronounced his injury serious, but
not fatal. One rib is broken. another
cracked and his chin and one Of
his shoulders were badly cut and
bruised. It will be some time before
he Is able to be about again, to say
nothing Of being able to work.
The hand with which he grippsd
the ring In the bulls nosf Il rssy
painfully sprained and swollen.
The bull came near killing its own
q nearly year AGO by throwing hien
over the fence, and IL . dangerous
animal to be running at large even
In . pasture. Fortunately he has
no horns or there would be even less
chance for his victims to escape alive
and he should be gotten rid of or
slss be tied up.

Mas. Meeting to Select Advisory
Committee Well Attended

build a community in which most of
US want to continue to live. Other
communities seem to get these things
without having so much disstnsion-
why can't we?
The Enterprise has no apology to
make for its efforts in this matter,
for its conscience is clear, and if we
have made mistakes they have been
Of the head and not Of the heart.
II there has been anything under
handed, rs some Of our critics seem
to think, we have been too dense to
see it. We go on record right here
in saying that we have great faith
in the present school board in trying
to do what they believe this commun-
ity expects Of them and we have
perfect confidence in the committee
selected Monday evening. As we un-
derstand it, this committee was Sc
lected to choose a site that will be
satisfactory to majority of the tax
payers. They have hard task, but
when it is selected, we believe it will
be after a most careful considera-
ton Of all the sites proposed and we
are going to be democratic enough
to abide by their decision-and at
this moment we do not have the laast
idea where it will be. How many Of
our citizens will join US in this reso-
luton?
And. after all, is the site the all
important matter? We believe you
will agree with US that it is not.
Now. why can't all Of US get to-
gether for the general good of the
community and lay aside our person
alities, and see how different we will
all feel?

Some editors have reached the
hypnotic state that prompts them to
proclaim their paper household ne
cessity, and demand the subscription
price with as much tenacity and cold
calculation as the loan shark de-
mands the extorionate interest on his
loans. This may be alright to feel
that way, but We find that The En-
terprise is valued in the home rather
us luxury which most people feel
a joy in possessing, and they pay for
this luxury in more cheerful spirit
than they pay for an absolute necess-
ity, and the editor appreciates this
fact to the fullest degree and It is the
reason we never have felt the necess-

WORKING IN BED

the noninebriating cup, he finished the first draft of ''Lochiel's Warning"
 Longfellow's Wreck of the Hespe- rus" came to him as he was sitting by his firesde, the night after violent storm. He weu to bed, but could not sleep; the Hesperus would not be de- nied; and as he lay the verses flowed on without let or hindrance until the poem was completed.
 One at least of Rossini's operas was composed in bed. It was when he was young. poor and unknown, and lived in wretched quarters. After writing duet the composer allowed his manuscripts to slip off the sheets and fall under the bed. Rossni was too comfortable to get out of bed, and moreover he be- lieved it would be unlucliy to pick the sheets t.: so he went to work to re- write the duet To his disgust he could not remember it. It was. therefore, nee essary to write a new one. This he had finished when friend entered.
 "Try that" said the composer, and tell me what you think of it.' The yer dict was favorable.
 Now" said Rossini, look under the bed. You'n find another duet there. Try that too"
 The friend did so. and declared that the original composition was much the better. It is included in his works to5a
