Gustof Swenson, a 17-year-old inmate of the Caswell Training school for the feeble minded at Kinston was killed Wednesday by a bull of the school dairy herd.
Young Swenson, who took great interest in assisting around the dairy had been warned to keep out of the lot where the animal was kept, but on this occasion he went in alone and was stamped and pawed to death before he could be rescued.
The boy’s father, a Norwegian, last heard of in Asheville, and his mother, last heard of in Florida, could not be located to inform them of the death of their son.
