Bull Fatally Injures Aged Weber County Farm Patient-Frederick W. Robins Found In
Manger of Barn At Infirmary-Bunted By Animal-Death Comes While Preparation Being
Made For Trip To Hospital
Wandering into a corral Thursday afternoon,
Frederick W. Robins, 71-year-old inmate of the Weber county infirmary at Roy,
was butted into a manger by a Holstein-Friesian bull and received injuries from
which he died an hour and a half later.
According to Martin D. Harris,
superintendent of the infirmary, Robbins, who had been a cripple and invalid the
greater part of his life, wandered into the corral after 3 o’clock.
Shortly
after 4 o’clock, Superintendent Harris found Robbins, conscious but badly
injured, in a manger. He said the bull had butted him there.
PHYSICIAN
CALLED
Dr. Junior E. Rich, county physician, found Robins to be suffering
from a fractured femur, hip and pelvis. While the physician was preparing Robins
to be removed to Dee hospital the injured man died. An accident early in his
life, it is said, broke many bones in Robins’ body and left him uncurable
invalid. This accident is declared to have left Robins more susceptible to
fractures than ordinarily.
Superintendent Harris, believed the bull did not
attack Robins viciously but more in a playful bunting manner. There was no
indication that the bull had trampled on him.
BORN IN OGDEN
Robins
was born in Ogden on December 5, 1857, the son of Edmund and Ann Douglas Robins,
