A massive brown dog of uncertain ancestry is today the toast of McKil- lop, says the Toronto Daily Star. He drove off an infuriated, bull just a few seconds before it would have tramp- led and : - crushed its owner, Joseph Maloney, to death on Saturday. "I owe my life to my dog. I bought him for $1.50, but would not sell him for $10,000," Maloney said later: "Tire bull, a three-year-old Short- horn, had always been very cross and tackled me when he was - a yearling, so I sold shim for slaughter and was to deliver him on Saturday. EaWy in the morning I delivered the beef. ring,. meat to my neighbors and the smell of cattle blood was strong on my hands. When I began leading him to the water tank he came quiet- ly enough, but suddenly be lowered h is head and charged with the speed and power of an express train. The pole . which, was fastened to the ring in his nose breke," the husky young fanner continued, "I was as helpless as a child. "He shoved me against a barbed Wire gate, the gate broke and so did my ankle. I screamed for the dog. Cne hand was pinned beneath ' the' bull's foot and with the other I grab- bed the ring in the bull's nose, pray:, ing Rover could save me." Mrs. Maloney hurried to the scene, urging the dog to battle. Rover sank his fangs deep into the bull's hind leg, said Mre, Maloney. Maddened by pain, the bull swung toward the dog, but Rover stood his ground and soon made .him run round and round the yard and finally into the barn." Dr. Colquhoun brought Mr. Maloney to Scott Memorial Hospital, Seaforth. In the afternoon 15 threshermen armed with pitchforks were unable to load the bull on to the truck of Jos- eph Matthews. Rover then took a h and and reduced the bull to submis- sion,. • Rearrange School Inspection Areas With the appointment of J. H.
