Iation converting more than $375,-

The bonuses range from $40 a
month Tor service in number OF
states to SIS a month in North Da-
kota. Several states set maximum

"TOREADOR" BATTLES
AN ENRAGED BULL TO
SAVE A W0MAN'S LIFE

Nauvoo, ILL.,, Dec. ia bull
fight worthy of the best Spanish
tradition took place on a farm
near here recently.
Carl Marzolf. the toreador in
the case. fought, not for the cheers
of a crowd, but for a woman's
life. A lonely. pasture hillside
was the arena, a pitchfork instead
of a sword was the weapon and in
stead of a holiday throng two or
three scared women watched the
fight. Marzolf won.
Miss Agatha Wellner, music
teacher, had often ventured into
the pasture on her fathers farm,
where the bull was kept but he
had never made any unfriendly
overtures. This day he charged
her. For some time she lodged
him among the trees of an old
orchard, then ran for the fence
where she fell between a stretch
of wire netting and a thorny hedge.
The bull could just reach her by
stretching the netting. Each time
she tried to rise he knocked her
back among the thorns.
A woman neighbor came with
a pitchfork but was unable to
make effective use of 1t against
the bull who was now genuinely
angry. Marzolf arrived and, fork
in hand. climbed the fence. Each
time the bull charged. he side
stepped and Jabbed. In one Of
these bouts he drove the fork so
deep into the animal that 1t was
jerked from his hands and car
ried some distance before it
worked loose and fell out. He
recovered 1t in time. Finally the
bull had enough of It.

be divided into blocks and every
person living here VIII be seen by
the workers and given an oppor-

"Forget that you have sub

hotel and that already enough five
cent pieces have been subscribed
to total $19S,000, and start in to-
morrow morning to just raise
$150,O0o for a hotel. This can be
raised and then 1t will be nice
to add the $19S,oo0 to it," is the
advice offered by Col. d. K. B.

was assisting in installing the new
heating plant in the jail, was
caught by the county motorcycle
officer yesterday afternoon about
six miles south of the city.
Several of the TRUSTEES were as

TALLER that a man had just climbed
over the fence and run out into the
country.
Shaw had served forty-three days
of 90-day sentence on a petit
larceny charge.
