Bull Fight in Pennsylvania.

William Seely finished bls Sunday chorea and turned the cows out to pasture and then went into the stall where the young bull was chained up to turn him out also. Unhooking the chain, Seely started to drive the beast out, but he was not Ln the humor for going and turned upou the farm baud with an angry bellow. Seely had nothing with which to defend himself and the bull had him at bls mercy. Penned in the narrow stall, the young man was knocked down by a terrible thrust of the bull's horns and trampled upon and jammed against the partition. He cried wildly for help and bravely fought for his life, but the odds were so greatly against him that there was small hope for his escape. In the narrow confines of the stall, however, the maddened lieast bad little room to move about, and this was the farm band's advantage. His cries for help finally brought his employer, and with a pitchfork he managed to divert the animal's attention suffleieutly to permit Seely to crawl out to safety. Bleeding from a score of cuts and bruises from tiie lioofs and .horns, Seely was hurried to the hospital. He will recover. —Phlladeliilda Keeord.
