The Troubles of Butcher
Butchers have plenty to eat but
they occasionally have trouble to
get it, like other people. Joseph
E. Williams had beef engaged to
be brought to his butcher house
on Friday morning last. He wait
ed all the morning and about noon
saw the man going out of town
with a load or lumber. To his in |
query why he hadn't |
brought the beef or informed him,
he got the simple reply from the
Indifferent man that he had no one /
to send with it. Mr.. Williams
turned to his helper with the re-
mark, Charley, go out to Mr..
Cavender's and tell him to send in
hat COW bought for the following
market day. The COW, years old
came shortly after noon gentle
with rope around its
horns, but at the smell of blood in
he slaughter pen, it became furi-

men who had hold of the rope and
made for Thomas James, a spec

'ffering a helping hand. Mr..
lanes was caught under its horns, \,
brown PROSTATE, trampled on and
hree severe contusions made in /
he head and face, the injuries
.ausing him to take to his bed.
The infuriated animal broke thru
he enclosure and in passing throu
he streets made for little child. !
'ut fortunately there was car
iage in the way and while the COW ,
vas rounding it, the child slipped I
n an alley gate. The COW was I
nally secured and again returned
emily, but at the smell of blood
again became wild and unman-
geable and broke away the second
ime, leaving Mr.. Williams with
ut any meat for his customers on
turday. On Monday morning the Z
ow was brought in a third time,
his time with success bet requir-
1g the united force of a dozen
trong men. Mr.. James wounds :
eceived from that animal had not )
ct healed, but he went out for the
rst time since his hurt to see that
ow get her just deserts-the keen
lade of the butcher. She had at {
ONE only one fault, that of kick ]
