Kicked And In
stantly Killed
Volunteers to Assist in Cutting
Out a Bunch Of Young Bronch-
oes and Receives a Kick Just
Over the Heart.

Last Sunday morning Beach
i. Williams, whose parents live
about two miles east of Sentinel
Butte, met death at the Wagner
ranch by being kicked by horse.
Young Williams had taken a
team and gone some twenty or
thirty miles north of Sentinel
Butte for the purpose of cutting
hay and Sunday morning learned
that branding was being done at
the Wagner ranch. Evidently in
terested to witness the work of
actual branding he rode over to
the ranch, and found the men
busy cutting out a bunch Of hors-
,es in the correll. They were ex-
periencing some trouble and he
volunteered to assist them and
to this end got down into the
correll and in attempting to cut
out a two year old gelding receiv-
ed violent kick o nthe left
breast just over the heart, which
felled him to the ground. He
made feeble effort to regain his
feet. uttered a slight moan and
expired, very probably never
realizing that he had been injur-
ed
Coroner Walker of this city
was notified and went to the
scene of the accident and held an
inquest, Harry E. Fillder. Smith
Wright and Thomas Phillips
E. A. Stone and u. u. Martin
serving as jurors. while Ed Cook,
were the witness examined. The
verdict was that:
Beach L. Williams came to
mis- death while in the act of
catching horse in the correll of
Frank Wagner, located on Sec
ton 4, township az, range l03,
said horse kicking said Beach l..
Williams just below the heart,
causing death"
Mr.. Walker then brought the
body to this city to prepare 1T tor
burial, notifying the parents of
their sudden bereavement while
passing thorugh Sentinel Butte.
r The funeral services were held
at Sentinel Butte at 10 o clock on
Tuesday morning, after which the
body was placed on No. 2 and
taken to Sioux Falls. S. OAK,
for interment. The remains were
accompanied to their final resting
place by Mr.. and Mrs. A. N. VIII
liams, parents of the deceased.
Beach Williams was about Fl
years of age, unmarried and we'll
spoken of. His death is a severe
bereavement to his parents, to
>whom sympathy is extndd.

basin, on the floor Of which after
time there grew the first for
est. Then there came from some
of the volcanoes. probably those
to the north, an out pouring of
ashes, mud flows, and other ma
terial which entirely buried the
forest, but so gradually that the
trees were simply prostrated. On
the raised floor of the basin, aft
er a time. the next forest came in
to existence, only to be in turn
engulfed as the first had been,
and so on through the period rep
resented by the 1000 feet or
more of similar beds. The whole
history of the manner in which
these forests were fossilized is
not fully understood, but it was
undoubtedly dependent on or at
least greatly facilitated by the
presence of volcanic and hydro
thermal activity. which was
doubtless then, as it is to some
extent now, a marked feature of
the park region. The fossil for
ests are surrounded by matrix
that is known as an acidic lava
that is, a siliceous lava-which
contains abundant silica in SOL
ution. The first part of the pro-
cess of silici6cation may well
have been that silica would be
deposited in all the cells and ves-
sells Of the wood. making an &C.
curate cast of all open spaces.
Then, while the slow process of
decay went on, as each particle
of organic matter was removed
its place was taken by the silica.
until, finally. all the wood sub
stance had disappeared and its
place. atom by atom, had been
taken by silica"
