Dana S. Miller, 31, farm manager, saved Elmer McDonald, 48, laborer, from an enraged bull, Butler, Indiana, August 17, 1912. McDonald was thrown down by a vicious bull, which gored him and broke four of his ribs and rendered him unconscious. Miller ran 800 feet, seized a pitchfork that the bull had knocked from McDonald’s hands, and thrust it through the bull’s nose, but the bull knocked Miller down and charged him with the fork sticking in its nose. It repeatedly knocked Miller down as Miller tried to rise. Miller tried to stab the bull with a pocketknife as it charged, but he failed. He finally seized a ring in the bull’s nose and clung to it until the bull was subdued. 9391-1208
