Wily Bull Eludes Captors in Ada Field Chase
A rogue black bull known as S-14 escapes from handlers in northeast Ada. The Brangus bull, a recent import from a rodeo, clears six-foot fencing and roams toward rural north Ada as locals, including weekly editor John Bennett and rodeo promoter Tony Travis, pursue. Sheriff Oren Phillips then joins the effort as sightings continue around farms and timber cover amid ongoing manhunt implications.
