SCHOOL BULL
RUNS AMUCK AMONG
AIRPORT A|RPLANES
Charges Red Pump, Wrecks
Motorcycle and Scatters Fly
ers in Frothing Frenzy

Bismarck flyers turned torcadors,
late Sunday afternoon, when Uncle
Dudley" the pedigreed dairy bull of
the Indian school. paying their field
a stray visit with froth Oh his mouth
and rage in his heart. attacked the
place with the gusto of a hoofed par
ticipant of the bull fight in the grand
opera of Carmen.
During the hectic hour that fol-
lowed. the field equipment was in
danger of being torn to shredS and
tatters. That hangar, airplanes and
automobiles escaped was due to the
red gas pump. detouring Uncle Dud-
ley for his first manifestation of
frenzy. It withstood his charge, like
the forts at Maubeuge, long enough
to enable flyers to move their craft
to partial safety and to maneuver the
mad bull off the field twice, Frank
Wilcox finally getting him back to
the school, driven before his farm
team.
F. NJ. Roberts and Leonard linus
and their wives first became aware
of the presence of the bull between 4
and 5 o'clock. They heard what they
thought was q joker's imitation of a
cows below, as they sat in their cars
near the upper hangar. They COM
mented on the perfection of the imi-
tation. then Roberts went around the
hangar to see who was there and
found himself looking straight into
the bloodskot eyes of a frothing bull.
Roberts gave a howl and the bull
paved up ON dust and beloved
sonne more. A motorcycle attracted
him and he gored and paved that in
to q wreck. Then he charged at the
red gas pump and buttcd into it time
and again. breaking off the handle.
Roberts new red Waco plane stood
out in the open and while Taurus
charged the red tank. Roberts and
linus unanswered the plane partly
into the cover of the hangar. They
then managed to lure the bull out Of
the field into the road.
Just as Uncle Dudley" reached the
road, a family party in a Chevrolet
came along. The bull prepared to
charge the car, but the drived lodged
by and tore down the road with the
bull roaring in pursuit. A mile down
he turned and came back to see what
Frank Irvine was doing. Irvine, who
had been flying, was descending. He
managed to get into the shelter of his
hangar, which the bull charged, then
''Uncle Dudley made his way back
to the red pump again. AS he crossed
up the field, the bull charged and sent
automobiles scurrying away from him
A wild COW appearing from some
where now joined the doings. The
flyers headed the COW for the road ir
a maneuver to draw off the bull
Uncle Dudley made a dash through
the barbed wire fence as though the
wire were SO much string. and COW
and bull went believing down the
road.
Frank Wilcox was driving his farm
team up the road and that headed of
the bull. Wilcox recognized him a!
the king of the Indian school herd
and by driving his team toward tht
animal. finally got him back to where
he belonged.

the attempt to have Capone released.
The errors cited in tn, petition fos
q reversal of the courts action in
sentencing Caponc are that he was

commotion Of the trial prejudiced the
case, and that Caponc was virtually
