Excitement ran high one mprning last week near-Alton, Taranaki, when a stray young Hereford bull took charge of the road and charged all and sundry whenever the opportunity offered (states an exchange). A milk farmer in his cart on the way to the factory was the special object of hrs attention. The bull charged the cart and did some damage to the horse. Eventually some men armed with pitchforks came on the scene, and the charp goad cooled the animal’s fury and persuaded him that discretion was the better part of valour. That ended the fray. It is reported that later on the animal was shot. ,
