An escaped heifer from the Addington saleyards careered wildly about Christchurch streets. It first appeared in a garage in Oxford terrace, and later chased two men down Tuam street towards the centre of the city. Two men were knocked oil their bicycles and another just managed to avoid the heifer, which soon afterwards put its foot through the ironwork on the side of the Victoria street bridge and broke its foreleg. More infuriated than ever, it then charged a woman wheeling a a baby in a perambulator. A passing cyclist threw his machine in the heifer's way. but the baby was tipped out of the pram and the mother knocked clown. Then a man experienced with cattle appeared and soon had the heifer under control. He upended it by catching it by. tiie tail and swinging it over on its side. Then it was securely roped ready to be removed.
