MAN IS SHOT DEAD IN CHASE FOR STEER

Frenzied Animal Tears Down Fifth Avenue,
Police Shooting From Taxicabs.

SEVEN OTHERS SCATTER

Wild Bullet Slays a Watchman -- Waiter Is Wounded --

The excitement began about 4 o'clock yesterday morning and did not end until five hours later, when the last steer was shot to death in Central Park.

The steer, bleeding from wounds, turned into Fifty-Fifth Street, followed by a string of revolver-popping automobiles. ... According to stockyard authorities, about 200 short-horn Oregon steers were unloaded yesterday morning, consigned to various butchers in the city ...
