BULL GORES MAN TO DEATH
Claude B. Arisman, about 50, employee of the Broughton
Lumber company at Hood, was gored to death and mangled beyond recognition
early Sunday by his 3-year-old Guernsey bull in Arisman's pasture.
Worried by his absence, Mrs. Arisman investigated. Finding
his battered hat and a broken pitchfork, she called Cecil Jacox, a neighbor,
who found the body, with the bull, showing evidence of a recent battle, standing
guard 200 feet away.
John Lauterbach of White Salmon shot the beast.
The funeral was held Tuesday at the Gardner Chapel. Rev.
Rominger of Underwood officiated, and the remains were laid to rest in the
Underwood cemetery.

ANGRY BULL KILLS RANCHER AT HOOD
Clyde B. Arisman, 55, of Hood, met a terrible death Sunday
morning in a pasture at his home in a battle with his 3-year old Guernsey
bull.
Arisman left the house about six o'clock to do his morning
chores, and when he did not return Mrs. Arisman became worried and upon
investigating found his battered hat and a broken pitchfork. She called their
neighbor, Cecil Jacox, who found Mr. Arisman's body lying in the pasture
with the bull showing evidence of a recent battle, standing guard about 200
feet away.
The beast was shot by John Lauterbach of White Salmon.
Due to the absence of Coroner Linville, Atty R.M. Wright
was called to officiate in that capacity.
Mr. Arisman was well known in Skamania county, having
been a resident of the Underwood District for thirty years. He was employed
in the Broughton Lumber company planing mill at Hood.
He leaves a widow.
