Eugene Colson and George D. Hauser re- turned on Monday from Hudsons, where they were for several days, vegetating and drinking hot water. For the sake of exercise they started to walk to the depot, and when about half way they were met by a huge Texas steer, with vi- cious horns, who came towards them in an interesting manner. George shook his cane, and told the steer to “Shoo!” but he wasn’t built that way. He came up on a swinging trot and George started for the depot on double quick time, the steer bringing up the rear. Colson was so overcome with the scene that he laid down and rolled over several times. George arrived at the depot safely, and had some time to spare before the train came along.
