Every- body welcome: R. Mi Holtby Hurt by Bull One day last week while Mr, R. M, Holtby, "of Manchester 'was leading his Holstein bull to the train prepar- atory-to shipping him to show at Lind- say Fair, the 'animal turned on. him and knocked him down in the field. Mr. Holtby managed to get hold of the ring again and led the animal to the ferice,. where he intended 'to "tie him to'a post. * Indeed he thought he had tied him, but was evidently mis- taken for upon examination there was no strap or other evidence of the bull having broken loose. ~All Mr. Holth knows is that when he regaihed con- sciousness, he was lying onthe other side of the fence with a broken arm: The trouble arose because of the fact that the leading stick was broken and an attempt was made to lead the animal (which had always appeared to be quiet) with a strap, an attempt that very neatly cost Mr. Holtby his life, It is very evident that "these animals should never be trusted.
