Pasture Field, Last Saturday Even
ing, By Iniuriated Bull.
SHE HAD GONE FOR THE cows.

Not IN the history of the Coun
ty has an event occurred whose
details are traught with greater
horror, or the result of which has
awakened such universal sympa
thy for the suffering family, as
that which resulted late last Sat.
urday afternoon, IN the terrible
death of Allura Regina-almost
fourteen years of age-the beautl
full and happy daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. IL Scott Daniels, at
their home at Patterson s Run,
on the turnpike, four miles west
of McConnellsburg.
Mr.. Daniels is a son of the late
John Daniels, and was raised at
the "Brick House." on the pike
just west of Harris onvlIle; his
wife, Eliza, is daughter Of the
late 3. Frank Slpes, and was
born and grew to womanhood in
her tather's farm near where Pat
terson's Run emptles its waters
into Licking Creek four miles
south of the turnpike. The place
where Mr.. and Mrs. Daniels now
live will be remembered by the
older people as the Felmalee place
and later as the McDonald-the
late jacob Mcdonald, well
known hotel man, buying the
place many years ago, and erect
ing the present buildings with a
view to conducting hotel there.
The house-a large brown frame
outstanding to the left as one
appr 'aches the bridge across
Patterson's Rum. at the western
foot of Scrub Ridge, is a familiar
object to travellers over the turn.
pike in recent years.
Like prosperous farmer, as
he Is, Mr.. Daniels has quite a
herd of cattle, and IN this herd
was three-year-old bull, that
weighs about 800 pounds, with
sharp spike horns about eight
inches in length. Mr.. Daniols
has owned the animal for more
than year, and there was never
ANYTHING IN the appearance of the
animal that awakened fear on the
part OF himself, or of any other
member OF the family.
Mr.. Danlels'is one of the ad-
