ATTACKED BY A BULL.-Mr. T. c.
Chandler, prominent citizen of Caro-
line county, living near Milford, had a
narrow escape from death last week.
In field near his home was herd of
cattle. In the herd was bull sup
posed to be of a kind disposition. Mr..
Chandler walked out in the field
among the cattle, and was unconscious
of danger until he saw the animal ap-
preaching him at full speed. He had
not time to get out of the way before
the beast was upon him. He was
knocked down and pinioned to the
ground between the brute's horns. Elf.
Chandler had sufficient presence of
mind to grasp the animals head and
hold himself so close as to prevent
from being trampled to death. Loos-
ing one hand, he felt for large knife
which was in his pocket, but was un-
able to reach it. At this iuncture Mr.
Chambers situation was observed by
some of the farm hands, who hastily
approached, accompanied by dog
which Immediately attacked the brute's
hind legs. The animal raised his head
quickly, with Mr.. Chandler still grasp
ing it, and threw him distance OF
25 feet, when he fell on his back stun
ned and bruised. Had it not been for
the timely appearance of the dog, Mr.:
c. would have been terribly injured, If
not killed. He was at court Monday
a 'rlittle disfgured but still in the
ring"
