         KILLS BULL WITH A STONE
         
         Teamster's Deadly Aim Saves a Man
           From Being Killed.
           
         Hastings, Mich., June 9. - CLEVELAND STROW,
       a teamster, killed a huge bull and probably
       saved the life of DAVID PURCHIS, a farmer liv-
       ing near Vermontville, by striking the animal
       in the head with a large stone, fracturing its
       skull.
         PURCHIS and a neighbor, BERT HOPKINS, were
       leading the bull down the road near their homes
       when suddenly it attacked the farmer, knocking
       him down and trampling him. It had no horns and
       could not gore him, but HOPKINS was unable to
       drive the animal off. PURCHIS was being roughly
       used when STROW came along and picking up a stone,
       hurled it, striking the animal between the eyes,
       and the beast fell dead. PURCHIS will recover.
