THIEF RIVER FALLS, Mimi
July 15-Mike Kinney was saved
from being trampled to death by an
enraged bull by the courage and
prompt action Of his wife.
The animal took offense at the
Tapping Of Mr.. zimney's rain coat
and attacked him, throwing him to
the ground and breaking several
ribs and his collar bone.
Mrs. Kinney, seeing the plight Of
her husband, quickly secured a shot
gun and some shells. While she had
never attempted to use firearms Of
any kind she managed to load the
gun and shoot the animal, stunning
him sufficiently to enable her to drag
her unconscious husband out Of dan
ger. Mr., Kinney was brought to a
hospital here for treatment.
