"A Laborer Terribly Gored To Death
on the Belle Monde Farm

Somerville, N. j., Oct. 30.-Jacob
Swartz, farm laborer, at the Belle
Meade stock farm of Charles Howell
Cook, was gored to death by an infuri-
ated Holstein bull. Swartz had entered
the bulls pen to care for it when the
animal tore from its nose the ring by
which 1t was fastened on account of it's
vicious nature. With a mad plunge
the bull pinioned Swartz to the side
of the stable with it's horns. Farm la
borers rushed to the rescue, but were
unable to beat off the maddened beast.
Drawing back it repeatedly attacked
its victim until it forced his body
through heavy board partition into,
the adjoining pen. Swartz was dead
when picked up. The bull is the largest
of his breed in the country and was
formc ly the property of Senator Nc
Pherson. Swartz is the third man the
animal has killed.
