New York, 1895
Farmer Case So Hurt That He Will be Crippled for Life.
George H. Case, of Cutchogue, was attacked by a seven-year-old bull on his farm Monday and received injuries that will make him a cripple for life.
The bull was confined in a separate pen but managed in some way to get out. Case was feeding the cattle when he was alarmed by a terrific bellowing. Before he could ascertain the cause of the noise the liberated bull was upon him. The animal caught Case on his horns and hurled him over the fence, but was unable to follow.
One of the animal's horns had pierced back of Case's right leg, tearing it open to the thigh and revealing the bone. The tendons and muscles were ripped out of his leg, and he lay helpless on the ground. The doctors say he may lose the use of the limb altogether.
