FIGHT WITH A BULL. Harvey B. Ramsey, a well-known Bedding farmer, had’ a terrible conflict with a'n'infuriated bull on his farm, Friday morning about ,11 o’clock, and it is feared received injuries which will result fatally. Mr. Rumsey attempted to drive the beast across a pasture lot into the barn yard. The beast was evidently in an 1121.? mood, and the farmer’s son, Louis C. Rumsey, cautioned him to be carc- uI. The bull had turned upon the old man once before and he had narrowly '80 mod serious inj ’ll‘lefl. Y The farmer believed he could ma n- use the beast and slatted to conquer the animal. Suddenly the bull turned upon the farmer and before he could defend himself had tossed him into the air. , Mr. Honey’s son witnessed the af— rav and hastened to his father’s rescue. 'el'ore he reached the scene the bull, uniting about snorting and bellown-n with anger, had gored and tossed the unconscious. form of his father several imes. The beast undoubtedly would have I: ept up the furious ouslaughts until he ad killed the farmer outrieh’, had the 'on not been til-.1 to beat the animal in" by belaboring him over the head ith a club. .. As it was the young man had several arrow escapes for his own personal alety. The animal was finally sub- tied and the farmer was removed to he house. Doctors Smith and Reed,of Bedding, ere summoned and later Dr. Stratton, f Danbury. An examination was .. ads and it was found that nearly all f the ribs were broken from the breast one and that some of them had been then into the lungs.

New York, April 20,—An old time war- fare was witnessed in the wheat pit on the New York Produce Exchange today. The news of the actual beginning of war between Greece and Turkey gave a fright to the. operators who have been recently trading on the bear side of the market. Bear buying was re-enforced by or- ders to buy from Europe. The grain markets there were still closed because of the Easter, holidays. The New York and Chicago'grain market opened at 10:30 o’clock, New Yorkf't’ime. Before then the local' operators received the news from Chicago that on the curb the price of May wheat had reached 78 cents a bushel, as against 783/, rents, the offi- cial close on Saturday, a clean cut ad— vance of 41,4 cents. Curb trading here was affected by the news at. Chicago, and bids were made for May wheat at 83ycents against 77% cents, the official close at noon on Saturday. The latter price was not the highest recorded for Saturday, for on the curb that day the price touched 79% cents on the news from the Chicago market, where the closing on Saturday is one hour later than here. A great shout went up at 10:30 o’clock when the gong proclaimed the official beginning of business at the Produce Exchange. The scene in the pit was an exciting one. The brokers yelled their orders to buy with different prices recorded simulta- neously at different points in the pit. The big dial underneath the visitors’ gallery which shows the course of the active May future spun round from 77% cents, where it had rested at the close on Saturday, to 82% cents, and then, after hesitating a moment, went far- ther, to 83% cents, or an advance of 5% cents over Saturday’s official close. There were further nervous fractional fluctuations for the next few minutes. By 10:40'0’clock the price was 83% cents, or 6% cents over Saturday’s official close and 4% cents over the curb close of the same day. The gallery was filled with spectators to witness the opening. Business on other parts of the floor was practically suspended, and the flour and provision men ceased operations to watch the wheat dial. A Friend of General Gomez In New York.

He has as yet engaged no lawyer, but he inti- mated today that he would not fight extradition, but would of his own ac- cord return to the United States to stand trial for his crime. He has made no effort to deny his identity or his guilt. Chief Detective Carpenter and other officers left here today for St. Clett’s. The place is about 35 miles from here. Kelley admitted to Chief Detective Carpenter at an early hour today that he-had buried at large sum of money, taken from the bank, in the woods near St. Clett’s. He told the detectives the exact spot where they could find the money. The arrest of Kelley, which was ac- complished at midnight last night, was due to his own stupidity. He went to a notorious house here disguised as a. woman. He had not been in the place more than five minutes when he tore off his disguise, consisting of a woman’s hat and gown, and stood before those in the house in male attire. His dis- guise was very clever, and his actions created a great deal of amusement. He then showed a. large roll of bills and spent his money freely. Finally he told the people in the place who he was. The police were notified, and Kelley was ar— rested. .. The fellow took his arrest coolly. He admitted his identity at once and con— fessed that he had robbed the bank and had had a. hand in the killing of Mr.’ Stickney, the cashier. He told the po- lice some Wild tale of a. mysterious stranger who had met him near the bank and had gone with him when the robbery and murder were committed. The mysterious one took the greater part of the booty and left for parts un- known. This, at least, was the tale he told last night. Today he made no mention of the mysterious stranger. Had Lots of Money. When searched after his arrest $2,750 in bills was found in Kelley’s posses- sion. He today told where the rest of the $4,100 taken from the bank was to be found. .1 The crime of which Kelley is the self- confessed perpetrator is one of the most sensational or the day. Cashier Stick- ney of the Somersworth (N. H.) bank was found‘shortly after noon on April 16 lying dead in the bank. His throat had been cut from ear to ear. About were evidences of the fearful struggle that had taken place before the old man—he was nearly 60—.hud given in to the robber or robbers. Every penny that was in the bank, $4,100. held been taken, as well as about There was no clew to the murderer and rob- ber. Posses were organized and a'most thorough search of the surrounding country was made. but to no purpose. On the following day it was remarked that Joseph E. Kelley, a man who had been doing odd jobs about the town. was missing. and a hunt was made for him. He would not have. been found if he had been able to keep away from drink. Joy at Hoiiicrswoi-th.
