FOUR OFF. C.. LEASURE'S
RIBS BROKEN BY A BULL

EX-County Treasurer J. Cal
vim Leasure sustained a fracture
of four ribs and other injuries
when he was attacked by a bull
on his farm in Green township
last week. Mr.. Leasure was at
tempting to drive the bull into
the barn, when the animal sud-
denly attacked him. Mr.. Leasure
was thrown violently to the
ground and was rendered un-
conscious and did not rally for
two hours. His wife, who wit
messed the attack, called the
farm hands to the rescue.
Although suffering from the
broken ribs and from the effects
of the shock, Mr.. Leasure's con-
dition is reported favorable this
week and the attending physi-
clan believes that his recovery
will be speedy. Misfortune has
been a companion of Mr.. Leasure
recently. About a year ago he
was seriously injured in a fall in
a local garage and was a patient
in the Indiana hospital for a
time.
