A bull, the property of George Lachapelle of College Road, Lewiston, which escaped from its barn Saturday, terrorizing the neighborhood, met its death Monday morning at the hands of “Sureshot” McGraw of the Lewiston Police Department, who with his companion Policeman Sheffield raced to the neighborhood this morning, braved the onrushing bull and pumped 10 shots into his body bringing him to the ground, just at their feet, dead. Four shots were fired into the bull’s head, but not before the fourth had found its mark did he fall.
