GEORGE YOAKAM KILLED
Found Dead in the Pasture Near His House
"News was received by telephone, yesterday evening, that George Yoakam, of Coos river, had been found dead in the
pasture about 200 yards from his house. Later particulars
received this morning are to the effect that the body was
badly bruised, and there is no question but that he met
with a violent death. It seems that a neighbor's bull had
broken into the pasture, and about 2 o'clock Mr. Yoakam,
who had been informed of the fact, started to drive
the animal out. Nothing more was heard of him until 5
o'clock, when his son found him dead in the pasture and gave the alarm. Everything points to the conclusion, that
while attempting to drive the bull out of the pasture,
the animal turned on him and gorged him to death.
Mr. Yoakam was a highly respected citizen, and his sad
death is sincerely regretted by the entire community. He
was 51 years old, and leaves a wife, three daughters and a
son, besides his aged mother and numerous relatives and
friends to mourn his untimely demise."
