the corner near Mr. Fred Bawden's
home, going west. The little fellow
was struck by the bumper, which he
immediately grabbed and hung on.

ATTACKED BY A BULL
A little son of Mr: and Mrs. Jas.
H. Watson, of the Boundary, of Hib-
bert and Usborne, was 'attacked' by
a bull on Tuesday last and was bad-
ly used up. The little fellow receiv-
ed' many bodily wounds and lacera-
tions that required numerous stitch-
es a close. The wonder is that the
little fellow was not killed, as the
big brute of a bull became very vic-
ious. It is thought the boy may re-
cover.
