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.
