Pennington, Pa, Nov. Backward Able,
a farm hand employed by Theodore Tins
man, near Bloombury Hunterdon county
narrowly escaped being gored to death by
a vicious bull yesterday. He was attack
ed by the animal and rendered unconscious
before he could call for assistance. Miss
Sallie Reifenrath, while passing near the
place, heard the bun believing, and was
Mortified TO see the mad animal tossing
Able in the air.
She perceived that delay in calling for
help would mean death to Able so she
procured a pitchfork and attacked the an
imal. BY the time the plucky young wo-
man reached Able the bull had tossed
him against the hub of a wagon wheel.
The brute backed away a few feet, and
was coming at the helpless man head
down and with terrible force, when Miss
Reifenrath met the charge with the pitch
fork and saved Able from certain death.
After considerable difficulty, the young
woman succeeded in driving the mad brute
away from his victim. Able's collar bone
was broken, and he was otherwise seri-
ously injured but IL is thought that he
will recover.
