Lake Arthur, Nov. 24.-The mystic
ry in the case of the twelve year old
son of Joe ]. Boyd. who disappeared
last Friday afternoon and was found
unconscious Sunday morning at elsv
en- O'Clock, has been solved. He was
thrown by horse. The two little
nine and the other eleven years, have
told a complete story OF the Boyd
boys injury.
The O'Brien boys state that they
and the Boyd boy went down near
the river Friday afternoon and were
racing horses, wnen the horse tho
Boyd boy was riding stepped in a
prairie dog hole, throwing the rider
and knocking him unconscious. They
took the injured boy. they state. to
their fathers claim and kept the lad
in the shack there for "a hours, afraid
to bring him to town. They then
took him to the road, where they
knew he would be found, and return
ed to Lake Arthur Although 1t was
at first intended to bring charge
against the O'Brien boys, they are
now free of any accusation. Joe J.
Boyd, father of the injured boy, who
was out of town at the time, has re-
turned and he, with many others, Is
satisfied as to the truth of the story
told by the two boys.
The injured boy was slightly bet
ter today, although unconscious prac-
tically all the time. He partly opened
his eyes several times this morning
and others about the bed He was also
given nourishment today.
