KILLED BY ANGRY BULL. -
Miss Clara Clark, of Prince William, Fatally Injured. One of the most distressing accidents that we have ever been obliged to record was the sudden death of Miss Clara Clarke at her brother's farm, near Minnieville, on Saturday last.
Her brother, Mr. William Clarke, had gone to Pennsylvania on a visit and on the morning of Saturday, Miss Clarke attempted to drive out of the field surrounding the house, a bull which had intruded from the pasture.
It is supposed that she laid down a pitchfork which she was using for the purpose and was attempting to repair the fence, when the fatal attack was made upon her. Her cries were heard at the house, where the occupants were Mrs. Clarke, the mother, over 80 years old, Mrs. Chamberlin, a visitor from Washington, a small girl about 10 years old, and a colored woman employed in the house. The latter succeeded in driving the enraged animal away, but his victim was just breathing her last when she was reached. Miss Clarke was badly trampled and mutilated.—Manassas Journal.
