    the night he stood there bellowing and howling, but the man continued to dig and at length reached the gold. He filled it into a bag, but was fearful to go outside the ring of the fort lest the bull would gore him. So he decided to stay there until daylight came. Towards morning when the crock crew the bull suddenly disappeared and then the man brought home his bag of gold.
    Joseph Neville got this story from his uncle.
