Lexington, Nov. 19—Julian P. Zimmerman, leading farmer of Arcadia township, about 10 miles from Lexington, is now expected to recover from injuries at first feared fatal when he was badly gored by a bull in his barn lot several days ago. At last reports he was not entirely out of danger but was improving satisfactorily.
Mr. Zimmerman, it appears, was leading the bull across the barn lot by a tether when suddenly the animal became enraged and pounced upon him, bearing him to the ground and goring him repeatedly. The farmer grabbed a ring in the bull’s nose, and although severely injured had strength enough to bring the animal to the ground and got on its neck. Realizing that his position was precarious, Mr. Zimmerman leaped for an opening in the enclosure and jumped and rolled to safety.
