This claim will be put forth by Attorney Cronin, who will also claim that the machine cannot be operated on Sundays.

FLEMING IMPROVING.
Had Narrow Escape from Death at
Hands OF Infuriatcd Bull, but is Now
Considered Out OF Danger.

Mr.. II. Crcswell Fleming, who mar
rOwly escaped death at the hands OF
an infuria;cd bull last Thursday morn
ing, is steadily improving after his
hazardous experience and it is now
thought that he has passed the danger
point. No arteries were broken as at
first feared and unless blood poisoning
sets in. it is thought that he will be
entirely recovered within short
time.
Thursday morning Mir. Fleming was
attacked by tho bu!! when he entered
the lot with a negro. Both men car
ricd sticks, but Mr. Fleming broke his
on the bulls head when the attack
began and was then at the mercy Of
thc infuriated animal! Tho bull knock
cd him down, threw him in the air
several times and then attacked MIN
again as he lay on the gronud The
bulls attention was then attracted by
the negro, who was able to beat him
off with his stick and give Mr.. Fleming
time to escape. Besides minor in
juries, Mr.. Fleming was gOred in the
vicinity Of the left groin. The bull
had been showing signs of temper for
several days.
