A large bull, which took high honors at the recent - Cleveland County Fair, came very near end ing the life of his owner. Otho Cline. Sunday morning at the Clint farm east of Shelby. Mr Cline, well known farmer was feeding the animal when it charged, threw him to the ground and began to gore him with the deadly horns Twice the horns nre-e thrust into Cline, both times strik ing his legs near the thighs..grad ually the Infuriated animal sfas working upward and another thrust or two would likely have proven fatal. About that time a negro man passed by. took in the critical situation, grabbed a large stone end hurled It at the bull. The blow, struck the bull on the head, broke off one horn Just at the head, . nd stunned the animal long enough for Mr. Cline to be removed to saf ety. Dr. Btn Gold, who wa3 called to the Cline home, states that patient received two very painful wounds in the legs and bruises about other portions of the body from thrusts which failed to pene trate, but that the injured man is not considered seriously hurt.
