Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

Milking When Wild Bovine Swept Down Upon him and Battled With Him for Hour.
Friends of James Monaghan, of Wauconda, were shocked Monday evening when news telephoned to the village that he had been badly hurt by a bull while getting up the cows for the evening milking.
The bull came upon his victim unawares, knocking him to the ground and repeating the attack when Mr. Monaghan arose, and had it not happened that the fence was near and the bottom wire high enough from the ground to permit of his escaping that way, it is more than probable the angry brute would have killed him. As it was two ribs were broken, one hand badly bruised and the whole body badly shaken up.
Dr. Fuller is attending him, and as he was not gored by the bull, it is likely he will shortly be around again, though it will be some time before he will be able to perform his usual amount of hard work. Jim’s friends sympathize with him, but many congratulate him that he was able to escape with his life.-Wauconda Leader.
