A most distressing accident resulting in the death of a well known citizen, Irving A. Patridge, occurred Sunday afternoon. He went into his pasture to look after the cattle, among which was a bull, not generally considered vicious though he had before shown signs of an ugly temper. The animal attacked Mr. Patridge, who was wholly unarmed except with a partially decaying stick This was broken with the first blow, and the bull born his master to the earth, goring and stamping him in a few minutes almost out of the semblance of poor humanity. When rescue came the infuriated beast had done his horrible work, his peer, bruised, bleeding victim was past all aid of surgery. He was borne to his home, and at 2:00 Monday morning, died. The body had begun to mortify before death came, which rendered necessary a early funeral. This occurred yesterday
afternoon, and was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends, who thus showed their respect to one of God's noblest creations, and honest man.
Mr. Patridge was a man universally respected and esteemed, and the tragic scenes of his untimely death intensify the sorrow felt for him.
