Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

This morning a steer broke loose at Tinsley’s slaughter house, and started for the city at railroad speed, scattering the boys, frightening the girls, and upsetting shanghais without ceremony. John Wheelan “took a horn,” which broke his collar bone, and bruised him otherwise; and John Rouke becoming exalted from the same cause, saw stars at mid day and received a severe contusion on the head. The animal was not checked in his mad career through the city, but kept on his way toward Rochester, probably in quest of other adventures.
