All About a Bulldog.A bulldog that was stolen from Lord Duffer in in Canada, a year ago, turned | up lately in Terro Haute, Ind., where she killed a Texas steer in a street fight. Col. Burns of Evansville bought her for i $110, and fastened her in his stable. The Evansville Journal of Wednesday said: 44 Yesterday, while the Colonel was leading a horse worth •$ 1,000 past the dog, she leaped toward the horse with such tremendous force that the collar snapped like a string. She buried her teeth in the horse’s ilesh. Col. Bums seized the dog by the throat with both hands, and hurling her back, threw himself upon her as she fell. She tore his shirt into shreds. At last, with his heavy boot heel he planted a blow on the I forehead which stunned the beast.” The Journal of Thursday said : 44 Col. Burns was sitting on horseback at his front gate yesterday morning, when the spotted bulldog dashed out the side gate, having snapped the cast-iron chain. He whipped his horse into a gallop and followed. Capt. App, of the police, was coming down the street in his barouche when the dog dashed toward his horse and made a leap at his throat. The horse shied to escape the danger, overthrowing the barouche, and hurling Capt. App against a shade tree with such force as to dislocate the right elbow. Ou Parrett Street the furious dog met a lad and seized him by the collar of his coat. Both rolled ou the plank walk and down the embankment. Col. Burns attacked the dog with the butt of a heavy whip and knocked her senseless. The horse ran away during the tight and has not been recovered. The dog was hauled home still senseless.” The Journal of Friday said: Marshal Langolf went to the stable to ree the dog yesterday. She lazily yawned and pretended to fawn, while her great red chops, hanging down, were opened and closed indolently. Langolf went to pat her head gently^ when she leaped at his throat. The stout trace held her back, though her paws caught in the Marshal’s vest and brought him down on hi9 knees. He drew his revolver and put two bullets through her head. With a few struggles the ferocious beast died.”
