ATTACKED BY A BULL,
Murs, Sarah Reeder, of Georges Valley Seri
ously Injured,
One evening last week, as Mrs. Sa-
rah Reeder, of Georges valley entered
the barn yard she was attacked by a
bull of known ill temper. The bull
had at different times chased persons,
and among others several women, but
fortunately all managed to get away
{ from the animal.
Mrs. Reeder is a lady of fearless dis-
position and thought she would be
able to take care of herself in case of
an attack. When she entered the
barn yard on that evening the bull |
made a charge, and upon his first |
plunge one of his horns struck her |
right leg close above the knee, cutting |
a deep gash lengthwise across, seven |
or eight inches long, ripping the flesh |
almost to the Fortunately at |
this stage a man was near, who saw |
the situation and drove the animal off

Hard to Determine,
Many juries have found themselves
in the position of the one in Delaware
county last week. When the jurors
retired they were unanimously of the
opinion that both the plaintiff and the
defendant had lied when on the wit
neds stand. “The question that puz-
zled us most,”’ remarked two of the
Jurors afterward, “was to determine
which of them had lied the most.”
