Show STEERS ON A STAMPEDE Dash Through Streets of Chicago and Cause Excitement Chicago, July 11. Thirty long-horned long-horned Texas steers stampeded at West Fortieth and Morgan streets and ran madly for more than a mile through busy Btreets yesterday. Pedestrians Pe-destrians scampered from the path of the animals and the excited cattle almost al-most had a clear right of way. One man was not quick enough to escape the frenzied cattle and his scalp was ripped open by the horn of one of the herd. Three of the steers wore killed during the stampede by being run down' by locomotives and a fourth by a street car. When it was realized that the wild cattle had got beyond control, two cowboys on bron-'i chbs dashed along the streets warning warn-ing pedestrians to get out of the way. A dozen cowboys finally rounded up the band. |
