E.O. Stansberry, who lives So. of Milligan, had a narrow  escape from death on Fri. He has a two-year-old bull which he  keeps in a box stall. He went into the stall to clean it out and  the wind blew the door. The bull charged him, knocking him down  and goring him about the legs. He managed to regain his feet and  when the bull started at him he started at the bull and bluffed  him until a man who was in another part of the barn could open  the door. No permanent injury is likely to result, but it is an  experience that Mr. Stansberry would not like to repeat.
