The front door ol the bouse being open the animal continued its investigations, wandering through to the kitchen, wilier** it became invo'v I in a struggle with a table, a couch and some crockery. Triumphing over all its opponents, and smashing each in turn, tlm bull entered a bedroom', where more damage was done, mirrors being specially singled out as subjects for destruction.
