GORED BY A BULL.
Farmer’s Wife Has a Narrow Escape From a Horrible Death.
Mrs. Siebens, residing north of Crathorne, had a narrow escape from a horrible death on Saturday evening, being severely injured by an enraged bull.
Mr. Siebens and his hired man were out in the fields and Mrs. Siebens went to fetch up the cattle, some of which had broken through a fence. As she neared the cattle, the bull began pawing the earth.
Just at this time the hired man saw her danger and called to her to look out. The animal rushed at her, knocking her down and knelt on her chest. Its horns fortunately missed her and went into the ground. Siebens and his hired man beat the infuriated beast off. Mrs. Siebens suffered a broken collar bone and her chest was badly bruised as was her entire body and limbs.
Dr. Mammen was called out to attend her injuries and she is progressing very favorably and the physician says she will suffer no ulterior effects.
