The Georgia Enterprise April 30, 1891
     Mr. Joel Hight, who was so seriously gored by a three year old Jersey 
bull, not long since, has about recovered from the injuries received. The bull 
formerly belonged to Messrs. Warren & McCord and was not vicious in the least 
when they had him in town. When friend Joel was attacked he was giving his 
cattle salt, and all at once the bull made a rush toward him and threw him in 
the air and then on a shed. Had it not been for a Negro boy, Mr. Hight would 
doubtless have lost his life. After the assault Mr. Charlie Hight killed the 
bull by shooting it with a Winchester Rifle.
