city, in Fairfax county, was attacked
on her farm yesterday morning by mad
bull, and received injuries which it is
feared will result fatally. Her es-

miraculous.
The infuriated animal made a savage
rush at her, and gored her badly. He
plowed his horns into her side and
arm, causing several frightful wounds.
Mrs Makleys twelve -year-old daugh-
ter came to the rescue of her mother,
and bravely fought the animal, driving
it away from her mother. Mrs. Makley
was picked up in an unconscious con-
dition.
