escaped from the yard yesterday afternoon
and meandered to Kansas avenue where tt
chased two girls into Pratts hardware

A delivery clerk from Morns & Myers
narrowly escaped a butting as he was
carrying load of groceries to the wagon
Missing this mark the goat turned his at
tention to a small boy and chased him up
an outside stairway.
Passengers boarding a street car next
caught his eye and the conductor had
no need to call all aboard
Down the street came Ora Myers, the
mail carrier. Billy decided to assist Uncle
Sam and at the same time put Myers
in the front rank. A gentle butt on the
heels of Myers caused a start of surprise
but no increase of speed. Another lunge
from the goat and Myers quickened his
steps, and then followed a cake walk down
Kansas avenue, Myers side stepping the
goats attentions and the goat having the
time of his life.
The goat was finally captured and turn
