RUNAWAY BULLOCK
Scene in Glasgow Shop SURPRISED CUSTOMERS A bullock provided entertainment for a large crowd when it dashed into a newsagent’s shop in Glasgow. Two animals broke away from a drove of bullocks that was passing along Duke Street. One dashed into the newsagent’s shop, and the appearance of its head and horns in the doorway sent the woman shopkeeper in alarm to the back door of the premises. There, however, she was confronted by the other bullock, which had got into the backyard, and she was forced to lock herself into a back room io escape the unexpected visitors. The bullock which bad entered by the front door meanwhile managed to squeeze into the narrow space behind the counter, and it lay down there and refused to move either for the drovers or for the police. Not until a joiner had been summoned to saw away part of the counter could the runaway be got on the move and driven to the rr .r--ket. Several customers who came into the shop unsuspectingly made a hurried exit -when they caught sight of the animal behind the counter.
