Killed By A Bull

Lindley T. Brown, one of the best-known farmers in Lanscaster County, Pa., met with a terrible death at his home, near Christiana, last Monday evening. He went to his barnyard and while there was attacked by a large and ferocious bull. The family became alarmed at Mr. Browns long absence from the house. They went to look for him and found his dead body with the infuriated bull standing over it. Assistance was sent for and several men with pitchforks worked for a time to drive the bull away. It was found that one of the bulls horns had passed entirely through Mr. Browns body. He was otherwise horribly mutilated. The deceased was 70 years of age and a prominent man.
