Mule Exhibits Mulish Traits Resents Advent of Young Calf In Lot and Vents Wrath 15 y Pawing It To Death; Cow Loses Horn In the Melee Mr. Fred A. Tlton, who live:, near here in the Niagara sec tioii in Beulah township, was in town last Saturday and reported I an unusual account of the recent doings of his good and trusty family mule. | Tlie mule, which has always been of a tractable nature, so far ! ms mules go, became highly in 1censed when the family cow n | the adjoining lot found a young ! calf, and for four solid days tin* call* gave the mule considerab r concern. There was a small hole in the partition fence at which llu* mule kept working in an ef fort to reach the cow and calf. At in.-1 he made a lunge against the fence and broke through. While in the act of getting through the fence, a -on of Mr. Talton’s tried to heat tlie mule hack but tin* mad animal made a pass at the boy getting his cap and some of his hair as he swept on toward the cow and calf. Reaching the calf, the mule seized it by *h*' | na;pe of the neck and started off through the field with it, while I M r. Tart and his sou were en tertaining the mule the best they could with poles and such othev weapons of defense as they could grab hold of. In the scuffle the cow broke off one of her horns and she had to quit the tight. The mule in the meantime took the calf **ff into a field and paw ed and gnawed it until it was quite dead. Then the infuriated animal went for the cow and at tacked her with all the viciousness of a wolf. He was rapidly mak ing the cow go the way of the calf when Mr. Tallon resorted to heavier artillery than he had here tofore used, lie sent for his shot gun ami opened up on the old mule and after the second round with this weapon the old mule de cided that the odds wore against him, and once more he could un derstand common plantation lan guage when he heard it.
