Nels Ellingson, who was well acquainted in Postville, having been a milk hauler to the Postville creamery, and for the last couple of years has been at the J.C. Thoma restaurant, was killed by a bull on the E.O. Lien farm, about seven miles south of Postville, Monday night. Nels has been working for Mr. Lien on the farm. The bull got out of the barn and Nels went to the pasture to drive it back and when he was later found he was dead and horribly mangled and bruised. The funeral was held from the Norwegian church yesterday afternoon.
