NOSE RING BROKE WHILE he WAS
STALKING ANIMAL IN FIELD
FOUND INJURED BY MOTHER
Barking Of His Dog Attracted Her
Attention and She Went to See
What Was Cause Of His Barking

Roy Fisher, son OF Mrs. John Fisher,
OF Rock Cut, was so badly injured by
the big Holstein herd bull last Satur-
day evening that he died about nine
o'clock that night. He recovered con-
sciousness sufficiently TO be assisted TO
the house and told his folks Just how
the affair happened. From the very
first there was scant hopes for his re.
covery as the injuries he received
were seen to be deep seated although
there was no punctu-e.
According to the story told, Mr..
Fisher had taken the bull TO water,
leading him by means of the nose ring
and a stick. After he drank Roy de-
cided TO stake him out in the field fo-
the evening and It was while he was
engaged in this work that the nose
ring broke freeing the animal from the
)control which alone made him manage
able.
The bull was a mammoth Holstein
of known vicious tendencies as it is
reported that he had made an unsuc-
cessful attack upon Mr. Fisher some
time previous to the fatal attack.
No sooner was the animal free than
he charged his owner, knocking him
down and paving him with his front
feet. The animal had been dehorned so
the victim was saved from goring but
the punishment administered to the
young man by the animals front feet
was sufficient to cause frightful injur-
les.
A dog that was with Roy at the time
attacked the bull and succeed In at
tracing the animals attention long
enough to allow Roy to roll into a
place where the bull couldn't get at
him any more. The animal continued
to fight the dog.
The accident happened about sup
per time and Mrs. Fisher. Roy's
mother. was expecting her son to
come TO his supper. When he was de-
layed she wondered and that taken to-
gether with the. barking of the dog so
long in one place caused her to go and

and Mrs. Fisher Immediately spread
the alarm. Word was sent to Crystal

farm but the young mans condition
was such that nothing could be done
He had several ribs broken and was
badly pounded about the abdomen and
on the back. The other members OF the
family were summoned and they came
but the victim was beyond human aid
and he died later on In the evening.
The deceased was the second oldest
son and was born In Crystal Falls

When the family moved to the farm
Roy went with them and vas very
much interested In agricultural work.
After his fathers death several years
ago he stayed with his mother and
worked the farm.
He was a diligent worker. faithful
