A distressing accident occurred near Bates
City last Wednesday week. Aaron q
Youngest son Of MIR. Alfred Ktng, aged about
II years, who had just arrived home from
school, about dark, on horseback, was sent
to the pasture to drive up the other horses.
About fifteen minutes thereafter the horses
came up to the lot gate and with them the
one on which Aaron had been riding, but
with the saddle empty. Immediate search
was made and the boy was found near Ly
but inse nsible. He was carried To the house
and everything possible done to resuscitate
him but he never spoke after being found
and died almost Immediately. 1t is supposed
that the horse, which Was old and clumsy,
stumbled and threw the boy and perhaps
fell upon him. although but slight bruises
could be discover upon his body. Or pos
sioly he may have been thrown OF, striking
his head uoon the ground. producing con-
cussion Of the brain. The parents have the
sympathy OF a large circle OF fri, nds In
their severe affection.
