Newspaper Tidbit: Killed by a Ram (1884)

Alexandria Gazette (VA)
10 October 1884

KILLED BY A RAM

Mr. William Bell, while salting sheep on the farm of Sheriff George Tansill, of Prince William county, near Occoquan a few days ago, was attacked and so badly injured by a ram that he died from the effects of his injuries.  When assistance came to Mr. Bell he was unconscious and was lying seventy-five yards from where he was first attacked, having been butted that distance by the infuriated ram.
