HEIFER’S WILD CAREER
CYCLISTS’ DISMOUNTED MOTHER AND BABY CHARGED (By Telegraph.— Special to Times) CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday A heifer which escaped from the Addington saleyards caused considerable excitement in the streets of the city to-day. It first appeared in a garage in Oxford Terrace, and later chased two men down Tuam Street toward the centre of the city. Two men were knocked off their bicycles and another just managed to avoid the heifer. The animal then put one of its feet through the ironwork on the side of the Victoria Street bridge and broke its foreleg. Doubly infuriated, it charged a woman who was wheeling a baby in a perambulator. A passing cyclist threw his machine in the heifer’s way, but the baby was tipped cut of the pram and the mother was knocked down. A man experienced with cattle ap - peared on the scene and soon had the heifer under control. He managed to j throw it and it was securely roped. I ready to be yemoved. #
