Rensselaer Republican, Volume 14, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 March 1882 — Kicked to Death by an Ostrich. [ARTICLE]

Kicked to Death by an Ostrich.

Colonies and India. Ostrich farming is not without its dangers, as many a mau has learned to bis cost when sauntering among a flock of these birds without taking the necessary precautions against a sudden outslaught from a vicious member of the herd, but it is not often that we hear of a man being actually kickd to death by aq ostrich. Such a fatality occurred recently in the Distiict of JWctoria West, Cape Colony. The bird n&d strayed on to the public highway, and disputed the progress of tbe unfortunate man to such purpose that he was kicked and trampled to death.
