Farmer Is Gored to Death.

Marion, Aug. 15. —George W. Lewis, nineteen years old, a farmer, was gored to death by a bull at his home near Gas City. Death ensued about five minutes after the animal attacked the young man. There were no witnesses to the tragedy. The body was discovered by E. E. Worley, the young man s stepfather, who readily guessed what had happened, as the bull was standing over his victim's body. At the bull’s head was a Scotch cqllie. which had accompanied Lewis to the field and was fighting the bull in an "effort to drive the animal away from his master’s body. Worley drove the bull away with a pitchfork and recovered the body. It was two hours afterwards before the bull was quieted- Lewis had been married less than two years.
