Chicago.-A fugitive bull went a
promenading on the West side the
other day. Before it had concluded'
its morning stroll it had caused a
tempestuous chase through many l
streets and alleys, had engaged in a
tug of war with a patrol wagon and
had brought more or less humorous
shocks to a number of innocent by
standers and others, here and there,
indoors and out. It was a hornless
bull, something like a toothless mad
dog, that created these morning
scenes of panic, and for three hours
it 'kept several miles of residents in
sobs and smiles-chiefly smiles.
This escaped -prisoner from the
stockyards turned up on a plot of nice
green grass at West Twelfth and
Wood streets at six a. m. A small
boy got into action at that hour and
a stone was thrown. This bull didn't
care much to have a placid breakfast
disturbed by a missile in that way
and it proceeded to vent its indigna
tion on the youngster, or, rather, to
ward the youngster. The little chap
ran for all he was worth ard shouted
the alarm. Small boys can always
gather in scores at any time of the
day or night when there is anything
doing, and this was no exception.
