Prior H. Wright, an aged and a large planter who lives near Banksville,
in
Banks county, was the victim of a merciless attack made by a ferocious
Jersey
bull last Sunday. Mr. Wright owns many cattle and while he was walking
among
them Sunday morning he was attacked by a mad bull, thrown to the ground
and
nearly killed. When found he was in an unconscious condition. The
bull was
still standing over him, pawing the earth. The body of Mr. Wright was
almost
covered with the earth that the bull had pawed up and thrown on him.
But for
the fact that the bull had been dehorned it would have gored Mr. Wright
to
death.
Mr. Wright has gained consciousness and it is thought that he will
finally
recover.
