Andrew S. Anderson, Candidate for Governor of South Dakota, Is Gored to Death by Animal
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Aug, 11.—Andrew S. Anderson, Democratic nominee for governor of South Dakota, was gored to death early today at his farm near Beresford, S. D., 30 miles south of Sioux Falls in Clay county.
Details of the tragedy are lacking, but meager telephone reports to Frank Olds, county coroner, indicated that Mr. Anderson had gone to the pasture to take care of the stock when one of the bulls In his herd became enraged and attacked him.
Mr. Anderson came into politics in 1910 when he won a seat in the legislature from Clay county. In 1912 he was re-elected and again in 1914 defeating the latter year, Carl Gunderson, now republican gubernatorial nominee, whom he would have opposed for the governorship in November.
He was nominated by the Democrats in 1916 as lieutenant governor and polled more votes than any of his running mates. He declined the democratic nomination for governor in 1922 but accepted It this year.
