    Farmer Kills Mad Bull

    Geo. Jindra, a farmer residing near the village of Mishicot, had an exciting experience with an ugly bull, last Friday evening. Jindra attempted to get a rope around the bull's neck and lead him to a barn. The bull was ugly and began to chase its owner about the premises. Jindra took refuge in a shed in which machinery was stored and crawled behind some machines. The bull was still after him. Jindra picked up a hammer that was lying on the fllor and threw it at the bull. The hammer hit just the right spot in the bull's head and the ferocious animal toppled over dead. -- Two Rivers Chronicle.
