♦ HORKIBLE DEATH OF A VICTORIAN SETTLER. (By Tkleqbafh. | (Our Own Correspondent.) [PKB S.S. TALTINB AT THE BLUPP. 1 Melbourne, 16th August. Nelson Wiedman, aged 69, a native of Switzerland, and a Victorian colonist of 44 years' standing, was gored to death by a bull in the presence of his wife and daughter at Balwyn last week. Wiedman went with a young employe to bring the boll from the paddock. Wiedman struck the animal with a stick, and the bull shook its head. Wiedman then struck it a violent blow on the nose. The young man warned Wiedman to run to a fence which was only a few yards away, as he could see the bull intended to make a charge. Wiedman started, but the bull charged, tossed him up in the air, and mangled hiß body. The bull was afterwards shot.
