STAFFORD FARMER
VICTIM OF MAD BULL.
o. NJ. BOland Trampled to Death
AT His Home Saturday
Morning

The community was shocked
last Saturday morning at the news
that 0. NJ. BOland, known to his
many friends throughout the
county as "Dode" Boland, had
been trampled 10 death by a bull.
The tragedy occurred at the home
a few miles southwest of this city
early Saturday morning.
"Dode' made his home with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. f. Boil
and. A nephew, GuSta BoIand,
had been working for him, and
the two men got up Saturday
morning, prepared their breakfast
and GuSta went to the field to
work. "Dode" got the milk pail
and was starting to the corral to
do the morning milking as the
younger man departed for the
field. This was the last seen of
"DOde" alive.
The parents had not yet arisen
when the young men went to their
morning work, but not long after
ward they were aroused by the
persistent barking of the house
dog. The elder Mr.. Boland dress
ed and went out to see what was
the matter. He found the small
herd of cattle which the farm
maintained, gathered in the corral
in a group around the dog, being
kept at bay by his persistent bark
Ing. Near the faithful dog was
the body of his master, PROSTATE
and lifeleSS upon the ground.
The exact manner in which Mr..
Boland met his death will never
be known. 1t is supposed that
while he was milking one of the
cows a two-year-old bull which
was running in the pasture with
the cows approached him from
the rear and knocked him over.
probably rendering him uncon-
SciouS with the first onslaught.
His hat was found close to the
water tank, while the BODY had
been rolled at some distance down
the corral. A pocket knife, pipe
and other contents of his pockets
were scattered along the route be-
tween the body and the hat. and
the clothing was torn 10 shreds.
indicating that the bull had rolled
and trampled his victim the entire
distance. After help had been
summoned and the body removed,
the young bull manifested a con-
slant interest in the scene of the
late conflict and would return and
wander about the corral repeated
ly after being driven away. He
had never shown much diSposi
tiOn TO be quarrelSome, and had
never been known to attack any
of the folks at the farm. Lest sum-
mer, it is said, he "butted" a horse
which was being ridden by a boy
in driving the cattle, throwing the
boy off, but did not pursue the
attack after the boy was diSmount
ed. The folks could not permit
him 10 remain on the place, how.
ever, and had T. J. Cooper of the
Fulton Market, so out and bring
| him in.
The first person summoned TO
he scene Of the tragedy was a
brother, H. N. Boland, who lives
about mile and a half from the
hOme place. Later. Dr. Adams
