llaililaneil steer -‘Attacks Farmers Ila: To Be Shot

... There was great excltanent last week at the farm of Bruce Macbougaii of Union- vale. one mile from the village at

. D'l..enry. About two p.m. Maren |‘lth.. a. large steer. weighing bei- tween 1100 and 1200 lbs. belong- ing to Mr. Bruce Macnougall was being loaded on Milford Ellis‘ truck Ind sold to Mr. Ralph Adams of O'lAary. The big animal however hld other plans and he was’deter- mined to see some of the world and to be his own boss.

He broke loose and started away from the farm. He would book no opposition. He jumped many fences and headed for I-lowlan and he landed up on the farm of Joe Ar- senault. and alter a pleasant time lretemizing with the cattle there, Iinrted back to.\'a.rd the MacDous- Ill farm. Mcaniriiile Bill Bryan and Warner Eiichmian started in pursuit of the steer and followed It back from Hon-Ian to the Mac- Dougall form.

By this time the large steer was very hot and exceedingly bothered. he attacked .\lr. Mo.cDougal1 who Dnly escaped wltliiii an inch of his life. This coircspoiirient was tol-l by Mr. McDoiigall that he was never so near «ientii hefore. when within a \'<=i‘y l(‘\\' feet of his in- tended iictim, the steer swel'\'Ed Ilightiy and so he was able to avoid his slmrp horns and heats. Beyond the .\fiicDoiigall brook the madden:-cl ronriiig beast forced Bill Bryan and Wririier Buchanan up into one tree and Kennedy Mc- Cormick up into another.

For fully two hours the steer marched up and down around the trees. getting more angry all the time and giving vocal expression as to his thoughts about the whole situation. The boys in the trees were very cold, especially Bill Bryan who had no coat on. as he was very wzirm when chasing the steer to l-lowlan and back.. There was now no doubt whatsoever that the beast was insane and was ex- ceedingly dangerous. He had plen- ty of time. He would wait until the farmers came down from the trees. By this time it was nearly nix o'clock and as there seemed no way out of the deadlock. it was decided to shoot the animal. and a. firing squad made up of Elmer MacDonald of Unionvale. who was a. Provost in World War Two. and Mr. Marne Kennedy of O'Leary, vxell known sportsman and merch- ant. arrived with shot-guns and "Iinls" was written to the shalt but exciting: career (A' Mr. steer in his campaign of obstinacy. violence, ferocity and insanity.

Putting his faith in his boister- ousness, his might. and thinking that his rage and exasperation gave him the license to run amuck. and ride rough-shod over his hit- man owners. he found that the end of a tyrants life is punishment and death. and that goes for human despots as well as the animal ones. 'Ihe boys in the trees. although chilled to the bone. did not con- tract ally colds and suffered no ill effects. #0

only one dress to her back. a cor- duroy slip, patched with the skins of rabbits. Mary went one day. so the story goes. to visit a Mrs. Kcllow whom she found washing beside I little creek that passed quite close to the bouse.~

"I see that you boil your clothes with soap." observed Miss. Frazer. She had never seen this done be- fore but she felt sure it would work wonders on her old dress - make it come from the suds spark- ling clean and the "whitest ever seen" as our radio soap-crooners babble between the plays. when they sing about the many products they are paid to advertise.

One week later. when Mr. and Mrs. Frsur had gone to Charlotte- town on important buslnéss. Mary bolted the door and put her only dress in the old iron pot to boil with some lye. What do you think happened to the patchwork gar-

ment’! At least you clin imagine"

what happened to the parts thatl were pleccd out with rabbit skins. Poor Mary! When she put it on the line to dry. it resembled a man of pulp wood in I paper mill.

'At that moment, her paunts were coming into view. and their rl.-iriin-g daughter. as nude as Mother Ave before she had don- ned her fig leaf. fled to the shel- ter of the potato hole. The par- ,ents were at first alarmed. call- mg and searching all over the house. Then Mary answered. but no amount of coaxing could drew her from her place of conceal- ment. Here was a :04 question. what was to be done?

Finally a clever idea popped into Mrs. Frazer's fertile brain. Her husband was deapatched to the stable in get the oxen and an empty barrel. When he drew up to the potato hole, Mary, with many blushes covering her lovely face. lowered herself into the barrel and was driven to I Mrs. Smith's, place who lent her some of her own daughter‘: clothing till the Fraei-s could come by I piece of material to make their Mary in new garment. ‘

A rather amusing incident oc- curred at Mallet‘: Tavern. located on Bell’: Hill near the Queens Arms. In those days. it was a com- mon practice for farmers to carry home‘ a supply of rum to last them 'through the week. Tavern keeper! lied to be shrewd fellows for there always was a few cher- sctm in'the district who would -4 put some a smart iriek when- ever the opportunity to do so

arou. . _ e e e

call Percy Arthur. arrived at the Tavern one night and ordered a half gallon of rum to be put up without delay a’: he was having some kind of a shindy at his home. The innkeoper filled the jar and. still holding fast to it. demanded his money.

“Pay you next week" said Percy. "Next week for sure." "Nothing doing." said the innkeeper. "Pay up or I'll run out the liquor."

“Only a half-gallon." warned Percy. "That's what you put into it."

When about two hundred yards from the inn. Percy cruiched his arm. took a good swig and chuck- led to himself. ‘That’: ‘might nice drlnlrin’. ~ even though half of it be wItcrl"'
