Hummel bull kills owner

Lately, as Mr James Smith, a Farmer in the parish of Fintray, was driving home his cattle, a large humle Bull, which he had bought for a breed, suddenly attached him, and killed him on the spot, his head being driven in between two stones in a dyke, and literally shattered to pieces; a man who came to his assistance was much bruised, and narrowly escaped the same fate by shutting himself into a barn - and such was the ungovernable rage of the infuriated animal, that every attempt to secure him proved fruitless, so that it was found necessary to shoot him, for the safety of the people collected on the melancholy occasion.
