had narrow escape from death Satur-
day before last. Upon going to his pas
ture for his cows he was attacked by a
two year old bull, and though he made a
sharp fight with Il cane. was knocked
down, and then rolled OFT Il bank by the
Infatuated animal, which last was proba-
bly, the only thing that saved him from
being terribly gored, if not killed. Once
down the bank he crawled about a rod,
made his way through fence, and kept
crawling until assistance came. For sew
eral days Col. Sayre was unable to help
himself at all, except move his arms, but
is now convalescent.
