Injured by Bull.

While attempting to drive a young bull away from the barn door opening at his farm near Altamont Thursday afternoon, Leonard C. Crounse was quite badly injured by the animal. It was fortunate that he escaped death, as the bull had rolled him over and trampled on him. During a lull in the battle Mr. Crounse had presence of mind to get away from the infuriated animal and crawled on his hands and knees toward the house. Mrs. Crounse, seeing his predicament, went to his rescue and assisted him into the house. Mr. Crounse was covered from head to foot with mud, and was almost unrecognizable.

Dr. A. I. Cullen was summoned and on examination found one of his feet and an ankle quite badly bruised, with many minor injuries about the boy. Mr. Crounse will be confined to his bed for several days as a result of the shock and excitement.
