.GORED THE CORPSE
Daniel Woodbury's Body Left Elk
posed to 0nslaughts Of an
Infuriated Bull.
An Ancient Rule the Cause Coro-
ner Says Law Was Unneces-
sarily Stretched.

A survival of the ancient custom, which
required leaving unmolested the bodies of
such persons as have met violent death
until the arrival of the coroner. had a
painful illustration last night in the case
of Daniel Woodbury., who was gored to
death by an angry bull. For three hours
the mans body was left exposed to the
onslaughts of the Infatuated animal and
had not death resulted from the first at
tack. fatal outcome was insured by re-
gard for an antiquated tradition.
woodbury., who was so years of. age,
left his house about s o'clock to feed the
bull, which was kept In a pen near by.
Shortly afterward a r,eighbor heard cries
for help. and Fastening to- the pen. saw
the old man lying beneath the hoofs of the
animal. Surprising that the man was
dead, those first on the scene at once
summoned the coroner.
While awaiting the arrival of the cor
oner, the body was left In the pen with
the bull, because the men around believed
that 1t would be illegal for them to re-
move. It. The animal repeated Its attack
several times until the horrified bystand-
ers thrust boards, In to cover the body to
KEEP the animal from doing 1t further in
jury.
Il have never insisted upon the OBJ
4servance Of the old law which requires the
bodies to be left alone until the coroner
1T is not necessary, unless in cases
where the cause of death is questionable.
In case of railroad accidents, I do not
object If the body is removed from the
track so as not Ito interfere with traffic.
If the body Of Mr.. Woodbury. was left in
the pen with the bull until the arrival
of my deputy last night, think that the
bystanders stretched the law further than
necessary, especially if the animal con-
t1nued to mutiate the body.ssAll that is
necessary is for people to exercise good
common sense in these matters

Judge John H. Steele this morning

as result OF his argument new trial will
be granted his client and possibly an ac-

charging strangers exorbitant prices for
barbering met a severe setback in munich
pal court this morning. C. Swanberg and

assault and battery III. Barnet testified
that the men, who have barber shop in

tried to charge him SO cents for shave
and when he refused to pay. assaulted
him. The men were found guilty but the
case was continued until tomorrow in

appears that similar things have occurred
before, the men will probably receive
straight workhouse sentences; otherwise
they will be let OFF with fine.

made on the motion of County Attorney
F. H. Boardman, who said the evidence

extortion and perjury. The bills were a
direct result of the Norbeck trial.
The cases against Harvey have been
considered as strong as, if not stronger
than, any of the municipal cases and the

Harvey feloniously demanded and re-
ceived $40 from Peter Berg for recovering
