The Constitution, Atlanta March 22, 1906
Commerce, Ga., March 21-
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.

Additional Comments:
Prior H. Wright, July 10 1823-Oct. 10 1910, is buried in the Hebron 
Presbyterian Church cemetery in Banks County.
