The Agitator.: (Wellsborough, Tioga County, Pa.) September 9, 1836
Fatal Accident.— Mr. C. Essletine, of Herrickville, Bradford Co., having occasion to
go into his yard where he kept a bull, on the 25th ult., was furiously assailed
by the beast and thrown to the ground, and as he attempted to rise he was again
thrown down, and would undoubtedly have been gored to death on the spot by
the infuriated beast had not a grand-daughter of Mr. E. diverted his attention by
pelting him with stones, thus enabling Mr. E. to roll himself to the bars which
were let down by the girl, allowing him to escape. One of Mr. E‘s eyes was torn out,
and he was otherwise so badly injured that be lived but a few hours. Bradford Argus
