Special Correspondence of the Standard
Bozeman, July 14.-Stanley Koch, the
younger son of Peter Koch, cashier of
the Bozeman National bank, met with
quite a painful accident yesterday. He
has been helping Professor Fortier OF
the Agricultural college measure the
water in various irrigating bitches in
the vicinity of town, and started out
yesterday about II o'clock in the morn
ing to carry some instruments out for
the professor to ranch a few miles
west of town. AS he mounted his horse
the animal ran away with him, and
owing to having one hand engaged In
holding the box of instruments, was
unable to restrain the horse. After
running some distance the horse put
his foot in a hole and fell, throwing
Stanley, and probably dragging him
some distance, as he has, it is thought,
a dslocated shoulder, besides being
bruised from head to foot. When found
he was unconscious, but soon revived,
and was carried home for medical at
tendance. He is now swathed in band
ages and hoping he may get wgll
enough to go on the contemplated trip
with Mr.. Koch and Elers Koch to
Granite mountain the beginning of next
month.
