Runaway Bull Trapped

Two bulls from the West got out

started uptown Stockyard employees
and patrolmcn set out in pursuit in
automobiles, while persons in the path
of the animals gave them a wide berth.
One of the bulls galloped clumsily

still was staring at it pridefully when
cattle hand slipped a rope over his
yard.
The other animal had more definite
objective. He ran up Eleventh Ave
nue. to Fifty-ifth Street, where he
turned east and took to the sidewalk,
humping one or two astonished pedes-
trians against the walls of buildings
as he passed. At Eighth Avenue he
came to a stop and scanned all the cor

found a cobwebbed bungstarter and
beat the apparition over the nose with
it, while Patrolman James Delaney
and an ex-cowboy named James Brie-
den, sought to pull the bull out by
tail and hindQuarters.
The bull was firmly wedged in Mr..
Corrigan's front door and neither
bungstartcr nor tail twisting served to
cXtricate him for almost half an hour,
in which time Eighth Avenue became
SO congested that surface cars were
stalled. The ex-cowboy's hand was
stepped on as he slipped a rope around

that it was customary to expel it

The investigation will be continued to-
day by District Attorney Lewis, Of
Kings County, in an effort to deter
