Witnessed by President Harding and
his party yesterday afternoon when 4
hefty calf. which had escaped from
Center Market and had been pursued
by an excited farmer aboard red
roadster. was overhauled In Executive

The manner Of capture was what
furnished the thrill. the farmer, in
the role of toreador, making a wild
leap from the car and grabbing the
animal by the tail. both calf and rural
list going sprawling to the pavement.
II was not until after a hard tussle
that the calf was overpowered. the
help of the driver being needed.
Then followed the second act or
round of the performance. as the
former and his assistant struggled to
put the calf aboard the car. 1t was
necessary to strap the animal on the
rear of the machine and the process
was full OF difficulties. Before the
car and the captive calf were headed
back to the market a large crowd
had congregated, including the Presi-
Dental party and many persons who
had attended the meeting Of the Red
Cross.
