A HARD FIGHT FOR LIFE
By JACK L BAKER
j L D Bertillion of Mincola Wood
County Texas is exhibiting the largest
pair of bull horns ever shown in this
ipart of the country or perhaps the
t largest in the world When the writer
interviewed Mr Bertillion he stated
that he had been down in Old Mexico
and on account of unsettled conditions
there had started back to Texas But
j let Mr Bertillion tell his story as to how
I he captured the bull horns
My journey wns by horseback without
incident until I crossed the Rio
Grande River into Texas Hero I lost
my horse however I continued my
j journey eastward on foot hoping to ar
i rive at some ranch house by noon but
that wasnt my lucky day for I found
j myself eating a lunch I had prepared
on the lone prairie near the banks of
I Atlanita creek at a point about twenty
miles east of the Rio Grande River
Scarerlv had I finished my noon
lunch vhen my attention was attracted
to the oppi itn side f Hie creek b the
bellowing of a large bull of the old

onl made the bull more furious I
then lealred that 1 must fight for my
life With a small pearlhandled knife
the onl means of protection 1 had 1
waded Into battle Round and round
we went I made repeated efforts to
jab the knife into the animals throat
After what seemed an hour of this
sparring with no blood being drawn
the bull backed off a short distance
apparently to rest pawed the ground
for a moment raised his head high in
the air and viciously chargrd me This
time he ran one of his horns under a
strong leather belt 1 wore and tossed
me high in the air Avhich infuriated me
more than the bull 1 quickly regained
my footing and made a straight run at
the animal ducking almost to the
ground I succeeded in cutting a large <
gash in the bulls neck This encouraged
me somewhat by having drawn the i
first blood I continued to use this >
method of fighting Finally I cut a
largo blood vessel in the bulls neck

Foreign Tests Not Successfultasteuing in for foreign broadcasting
during the trial week in
January was not suecessul this
ijear due to several reasons
First of all was theunseen weath
J er disturbance aurora boreab
and possibly the suri spots
which fcdentisU believe disturb
eur atmosphere Then then were
the SOS shin calls and the
inexcusably tssradUUng of recciv
from which he became so weak from
loss of blood that he soon sank to his
knees I then grasped the animal s nose
with mv left hand and continued to use
the knife with my right After killing
the bull I unjointed one of his front
legs and used the leg to knock off his
horus which I brought back home as
i a souvenir of my first bull fight
Failing to reach any ranch house
1 that evening 1 was compelled to spend
the night in the open on the lone
prairie But I slept little for the
wolves harassed me throughout the
night The blood which flowed from
the wounds inflicted on the bull had
completely saturated my clothing and
the coyotes scenting the blood were so
aroused that they boldly attempted to
attack me several times but I used the
long horns of the dead bull with which
to defend myself and by this means succeeded
in keeping the cowardly animals
at bay until daylight when they slunk
away and did not further molest me

TEXAS SECEDED Go YEARS AGO
Feb 1 1861 Texas seceded from the
Union by a vote of delegates of a State <
convention held at Austin The vote
to secede was almost unanimous
Twentythree days later on Feb 23
the people of the State at an election
ratified the action of the convention and
the majority vote in favor of secession
was very largo
The act of secession was opposed by <
Governor Sam Houston who refused to
take the oath of allegiance to the Confederate
Government and he was removed
from office Lieutenant Governor
Edward Clark being sworn in to
succeed Houston Despite this fact
Houston allowed his eldest son to enter
tho Confederate army A
Texas furnished 75000 men to tVj9
Confederate army The last battle Of
the Civil War was fought in Texas after
the surrender of both of the armies of
Lee and Johnson This last battle occurred
on May 13 1S65 nt Brazos
Santiago near the battlefield of Palo
Alto In this fight the Confederates
were victorious Texas was out of the
Union iusf nine years and one month
absorbed and equally as eager to lear rjj
the fundamental truths of the Bible
this gathering f 8000 souls you
get a closeup view of the power of organization
of concentrated effort toward
a single purpose In class recital
you note a harmonious relationship between
teacher and pupil a cheerfulness
and willingness at all timcs to cooperate
But above all you come away from
your visit to the First Baptist Church
Sunday School profoundly impressed
with the successful methods that have
made this the largest Sunday School in
the world You are also impressed with
tho absolute faith of its 8000 members
in the Holy Bible how devotedly they
study it from week to week and how its
precepts have been accepted as a standard
for the spiritual guidance of their
lives
