A steer afflicted with mental aberration created considerable excitement and some terror on the farm of William Shute, southwest of the city,

the last few days. Yesterday the steer was put to an untimely end, and the

terror ceased.

Up to last Sunday the steer whose

disturbed mentality late.'y terrorized the neighbors had borne a good reputation for peace and quiet, and was re

garded as an animal of the most exem

plary moral character. He wa the

sort of maverick that children cling to,

and would submit to all sorts of fond

ling and petting at the hands of the family. He was a big, strong, aetive two-year-old, weighing perhaps 1,000 pounds, and in excellent condition.

On last Sunday mornicg his first evidences of insanity began to make themselves noticeable. For a day or so he had been carrying on a sort of bovine warfare with a dehorned bull ft om a neighboring farm. Night and day did the two "put their heads together" and not in friendly consultation either. It is presumed that by such means the steer overworked his brain, for from that time on he was a raving maniac, chasing everything on the farm, from chickens to people,

with the greatest ferocity, and leaping fences like a scared gray hound, whereas he had never before been "breacby." He leaped into a neighbor's field, and wheu Mrs. Shute went.thither to warn

the family not to let the children go after the cows, the neighbor man and

his son went out to look after the

quadrupedal lunatic. They met him in the lane, and the way he put those

two men to night would have done a

cavalry regiment good. He knocked down tne fcixty-year-old man - and

had he not had the presence of mind to sieze the brute by

the horns, and bad his son not come to his rescue he would have been killed

or badly mangled. Prods with a pitch

fork had no more effect than if they

had been slaps with a sofa-cushion

By that time the Shutes and the neigh

boring families were very well terror

ized, as they did not know just what

minute he would walk into somebody's

parlor and go to bed without stopping

to clean his feet. Imagine all this confusion on the farms, together with an

accompaniment of vicious bawling, a

big gteer with wicked horns, wild eyes,

flying saliva, switching ta 1 and thun

dering hoofs, and you have a faint

conception of the picture. The other cattle knew their free-silver friend

was crazy, but, as other people dj.

way and wouldn't arpua wiiu They simply stampeded with wild eyes and swishing tails whenever he appeared in their midst with a new 16 to 1 argument. THE ANIMAL CORRALLED.

At lensrth. after some nervy work of

Mr. Shute and some of the

neighbors, the animal was contined in an old log stable, and the commun-

itv took one lone Dream in unison

Then Dr. Hoover, veterinary, of this otv. wa spnt for. It was stated to

him exactlv what the symptoms were.

together with the fact that the animal could not eat or drink, though ravenmislv huncrv and thirsty. He would

chew wood or anything else, and would

try wittt a11 nis might to swallow water And food, but to no effect other than

make him wilder and fiercer. The

aaliva ran from his mouth, and it

looked much like a case of HYDROPHOBIA.

rr. TToorer could not tell at that

stage whether it was hydrophobia

that of falling down unconscious, every

ft,w minutes, and it bawled aimosi

continually during its conscious mo

He would stand and tremble, and seize w ith his teeth on whatever was handed him. After a careful inspection of the case and an inquiry into the circumstances attending it. The three veterinarians

decided that, as there were no spasms in the falli-e fits, it was not hydro

phobia, but cephalitis or congestion of the brain. The falling spells "alter the bawl" were due to the rushing of

blood to the brain. The swallowing

muscles were paralyzed by the con

gested condition. It was decided tnat rh Mtincr of buckeye buds which

the steer was known to have eaten-

had started the congested condition.

and that in all probability tnat condi

young America. It conies from a bor in

says: "As yon know, I am handicapped

by the loss of my left leg. Before I go any further I want to say that I am noc doing this with any boasting Luteals

whatever, but to let you know just how

time I have ever committed myself in this war. I can ride a wheel ; can get.

(never tried any one else) for awhile.

but they can wear me out in about SO

minutes.

"I have to stand without the aid of my crutch, and sometimes to preserve my balance during a rush I have to make a great many moves that any one else would not have to make. I have never mentioned the idea of my going

to war to any one, for I have thought

that there would be a very slight chance

of my getting in. I would not want mother to think I had it in mind, although I am sure father would be perfectly willing. And, again, I did not want it said, as it was about a young attorney herfv when calling for men to fill a vacancy in the militia, he waited until he found what a rigid examination they had to pass, and knew that he would not make it, thou volunteered.

An exciting fire that bade fair to

be still more exciting and damaging,

occurred late yesterday afternoon. An

alarm was turned in from eighth and

Main and the fire was in a small frame

out-building on the rear of a lot owned by L. D. Stubbs, on south ninth

street. The blaze started from the explosion of some material used by

Dietrick, a painter, who was manufacturing a quantity of roofpaint for a near-by roof. Dietrick nad had permission to place

a barrel of rooi-paint in

the building, but had no permission to

start a fire there. He did so, however, with disastrous results. Hard and

prompt work by the fire department

prevented the spread of the fire to the

adjoining business houses, Knoilen-

berg s and the Boston store and to

Emmons' stable. The loss on the Stubbs building was about $100, with

some insurance. Ine loss on a stable

north, belonging to E M. Baylies, and

ju the stable south, belonging Mrs N L. Jenkinson, was slight.

Was Homaslok, New Castle Courier. Saturday evening, a ten year old boy was found wandering on the streets. Big-hearted Sheriff James took him in

and has made him comfortable at his home since. The lad tells a sad story. His home was in Lafayette, but sickness and death entered the family circle and, in her poverty, the mother was forced to divide ber family. This boy was brought to Hagerstown and to a good home, but he wanted to be with his mother, and accordingly ran away and was walking toward Lafay
