Toronto Farmer Killed By Bull
Toronto, Ia., March 21.--Henry Klahn, 50 years old, a prominent stock raiser and farmer, was instantly killed by a vicious bull, which he was feeding, at his home, three miles northwest of Toronto, at 11:30 o'clock yesterday morning. The animal drove its horns through Klahn's body, death being almost instantaneous. There were no eyewitnesses to the accident. Klahn was well known around Toronto, where he had resided for a number of years.

Friends of Mr. Henry Klahn, who lives west of here, were shocked to hear of his sudden death Monday. He had gone into the barn to take care of the stock and when found was being trampled under the feet of a vicious bull. Every bone in his body was broken. The Saturday before the bull had shown a tendency to work him injury and Mr. Klahn intended to do away with him. Just how this happened is not known, but the terrible happening is deplored by the entire community. Mr. Klahn was a highly respected citizen and a recognized success as a stock farmer. The stricken family have the sympathy of everyone in their hour of sorrow.
