He rushed upon the man on horseback, threw the horse and rider, and, with his horns, tore the entrails out of the horse and killed it. The man was wounded, but escaped.

The bull came thundering behind me and actually touched my horse, which nearly sent me over its head as it kicked out viciously to defend itself. Happily Bracewell was close behind, and coming up presented the muzzle of his pistol at the bull's head. The next moment I was safe. In the meantime Guy had been pursuing a third bull. I had heard him fire twice.
He did away with the Biscay billow of the leading article Bull's favourite prose bardic construction of sentences that roll to the antithetical climax, whose foamy top is offered and gulped as equivalent to an idea. Writing of such a kind as Rockney's was new to a land where the political opinions of Joint Stock Companies had rattled Jovian thunders obedient to the nod of Bull.
The wealthy citizens vied with each other in bestowing costly presents upon them, bonfires were lighted in the streets, and till morning the town gave itself up to revelry and rejoicing. A month elapsed before the Danes recovered from the blow which had been dealt them and resumed the assault. Part of this time had been spent in manufacturing great shields of bull's hide.

He was so rotund and so covered with thick layers of fat, that he slipped about under the fearful cutting hoofs. He struck out viciously, laying open one of the bull's forelegs, but without avail.

Suddenly, from out the bushes near at hand, charged another bull moose, bellowing frightfully as he came.
Two troops of the Eighth Cavalry under Captain E. G. Fechet were to be stationed on the trail part way to Sitting Bull's camp, in readiness to support Lieutenant Bull Head, if necessary. The Ghost Dancers had been guarding Sitting Bull's house, for several nights; but this night of December 14 they had danced until they were tired out.
Before it recovered from its surprise little Pax brought the paling down on its nose with such a whack that it absolutely sneezed or something like it then, roaring, rushed at Pax. As if he had been a trained matador, Pax leaped aside, and brought the paling down again on the bull's head with a smash that knocked it all to splinters. "Don't dodge it," shouted Phil, "draw it away from her!"

Now I dunno whether you'll believe it or not but to tell the truth and be plain with you, Bull, I didn't kick you." "I don't believe you." But Bull's tone was not confident. "I wouldn't expect you to under the circumstances.
Oswald called to him. He said, 'Bull! Bull! Bull! Bull! because we did not know the animal's real name. The bull took no notice; then Oswald picked up a stone and threw it at the bull, not angrily, but just to make it pay attention. But the bull did not pay a farthing's worth of it.
