"Running Of The Bison" in Laurel, Montana considered a big success, despite injuries

Despite injuries to numerous participants and several spectators, Laurel city officials were beaming with pride Thursday after a wildly successful "Running of the Bison" event.

"It was fantastic," said Laurel Mayor Mark Mace, who came up with the idea for the dangerously alluring event, which he hopes will become an annual affair. "Sure, some people were hurt, but we’re a tough bunch, and everyone agreed it was great for Laurel."

Last Best News reports that the herd of 30 bison, loaned to Laurel for the day by cable news magnate Ted Turner, thundered into town down East Main Street, after being unloaded from cattle cars in the Laurel train yard.
