He was in the act of removing a halter from a Jersey bull when the animal suddenly attacked him. Mr Dixon was severely gored in the back. He is now in hospital. Lost Wallet Found. During the progress of the show at Carterton a police officer picked up a wallet containing money and valuable papers. It vzas ascertained from the papers inside the wallet the name of the owner. Inquiries were made from a Carterton motor firm as to the identity of the owner of the wallet and an employee of that firm verified it. The owner of the wallet was an employee at the Lower Valley, who was then an inmate of the Greytown Hospital suffering from injuries as the result of an attack by a bull. The owner was considerably relieved when informed that the wallet had been found with everything intact, and would be handed to him on application to the police authorities at Carterton.
