E.W. Fite In Precarious Condition After Being Gored By Bull, July 31, 1921

Man Gored By Bull In Precarious State

Little improvement in the condition of E.W. Fite, who is at St. Peter’s hospital following an attack by an angry bull Thursday morning, was reported Saturday night. Mr. Fite rested fairly well Friday night, it was stated, but his recovery continues doubtful. Physicians are giving him every attention in an effort to save his life.

Mrs. Fite was tending a herd of cattle in Irwin’s pasture, in the western section of the city, when an infuriated bull made an attack upon him, goring through the intestines. His recovery is considered possible unless complications set in. The herd of cattle belonged to the W.C. Owens dairy. Mr. Fite, who is 55, had been in the employ of the dairy only four days.
