BATHERS DISTURBED
INFURIATED JERSEY BULL REFUGE AMONG WILLOWS Dominion Special Service. Masterton, November 25. There was quite a flurry among bathers on the banks of the Ruamahanga Riverr, near the saleyards, yesterday morning, when a Jersey bull, obviously not in accord with the general peacefulness of the surroundings, made an appearance. Within a remarkably short period the joys of swimming had been abandoned for those of tree climbing, and with sudden disregard for the proprieties men in various stages of undress sought more or less uncomfortable refuges, among convenient branches. One, clad only in a shirt, put up excellent time in a sprint along the banks to warn other bathers. For half an hour the bull pawed up rushes and demonstrated with alarming motions of the head what would happen if the branches broke, but finally got tired of waiting and made off.
