BULL BUTTS TROLLEY
CAR OFF The TRACK
TOSSES 1T TO EDGE OF 6O-FOOT
RAVINE. PANIC-STRICKEN
PASSENGERS ESCAPE.

BEAVER FALLS, Pa.-This is the
story of the bull which, unlike the
famed one of tradition that met dis
astrous failure when it threw itself
against the oncoming locomotive,
was eminently successful when it set
out to butt a street car off the track.
The incident occurred near Eckert
Stop. between Ellwood City and Zeli-
nople. The bull, big red one, es-
capped from a pasture near the Har-
mony route, and when it saw the
big interurban car coming it trotted
close to the tracks, eyed the car
malevolently and lowered its head.
When the car, rolling along at slow
speed, was about 80 yards away, the
bull charged. 1t struck the front of
the car, head-on, with terrific force;
The car was derailed and toppled
over to the edge of 60-foot deep
ravine skirting the tracks at that
point. Here the car, partly overhang-
ine the ravine, remained while panic
stricken passengers and crew crawl
ed to safety. None was hurt serious
ly. though all were shaken up.
A repair crew, summoned to the
scene. nut the car back on the tracks,
but the bull was beyond aid. 1t had
accomplished the feat it set for itself,
but had died in the performance. Its
neck was broken.

QUARTER OF A MILLION
IN BONDS is STOLEN
Wall Street Messenger Disappeared
While Taking Them Across the
Street for Delivery.

NEW YORK.-Liberty bonds val
ued at $223,000 were stolen yester-
day from two brokerage firms IN the
financial district here, it was learned
at police headquarters late today.
The stolen bonds in each instance
had been entrusted to messengers
who have disappeared.
Richard Whitney & Company were
the victims of the larger theft. Tins
firm dispatched a messenger with
S17S,OO0 worth of bonds to the OF
fees of Kidder, Peabody & Company,
brokers, across the street from the
whitney offices. The bonds consisted
mostly of victory notes, although
among them were some of the carrier
issues. The messenger, boy, did not
deliver the bonds and the police are
searching for him.
The other theft was from Simmons
& Slade. whose loss totaled $45,OOo
in liberty bonds of the second issue.
They were stolen under clrcum-
stances similar to those under which
the bonds of Whitney & Company
were taken.

24O Pound Pigs

With corn above so cents hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The hog
that takes two or three months to
get on full feed never brings you
profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B. A.
Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly
and watch your shoats round out
into fat hogs in nine months-hogs
going well over 200 pounds and as
high as 24o pounds. Figure the aver
age feeding and you will see why
the B. A. Thomas medicine is a good
investment. Try feeding out your
hogs on this plan and if you are not
more than pleased we will refund the
cost of the medicine. WALL BROS.
