An Enraged Bull

Makes Things Lively for Township Line Farmer

Frank Durnwald had an exciting time with a big Holstein
bull the other day at his place east of town on the
township line road. The affair in the evening and began
by the bull becoming enraged at nothing in particular,
as is sometimes their custom.

The animal tore down the pen it was quartered in
reducing the heavy board to kindling wood. It then ran
into the barn, picked out an empty stall and proceeded
to tear the manger to pieces.

Mr. Durnwald was naturally pretty well scared at the
prospects of seeing his buildings town down and when he
mustered up enough courage he took a peek around the
ruins and found Mr. Bull in the barnyard, resting from
his efforts. Thereupon, he sneaked up on the animal
around a straw stack and grabbed it by the ring in its
nose and yelled for a rope. His son brought the rope and
with no effort they finally got the animal into a stall,
where the bull pinned the lad against the manger. He was
uninjured, however, and was able to get away without
further difficulty. It has taken no little effort and
expense to repair the damage done by the bull.
