Hearing yells that would have been a credit to a Cemoche Indian and the bellowing of a maddened bull. The Gleaner reporter investigated the cause of the commotion and discovered a man fleeing for his life across the pasture lot of E.T. Pratt, with a huge bull in hot pursuit. The man fell, and the bull was upon him, but as he had no club at hand, he made effective use of his No. 9 boots, and his siren voice, and scared the infuriated animal away. The man was Shell Andrews trying to make a nearby fence.

E.T Pratt was considered one of our best storyteller year ago, and it was during this week that one of the wheels on his buggy became set while enroute from Neillsville home, and had to use a forty foot plank he found alongside the road to hold the axel up so he could bring his rig home.

The brick work on White's Hardware store and I.O.O.F. Hall was nearly completed.

Mrs. M. Marvin picked a ripe strawberry off her vines last week.
