( ! BELIEVED MARION FARMER WAS KILLED BY ENRAGED ANIMAL Body of A. Kohler Found Dead by Neighbor Near Pasture Fence This Week Valley City, N. D., Jan. 5—A. Koh- ler, one of the prominent farmers liv- ing southwest of Marion, was found dead by a neighbor yesterday. The body was lying near the pasture fence, only a few rods from the house. One theory advanced as to the cause of death is he was attacked by a bull and in his struggle with the animal became so exhausted that he could not reach the house and perished from exposure. The fact that his coat, cap and one overshoe were found in different places in the near vicinity and the fact that there were several bruises about his head when found, lend color to this theory.
