LITTLE BOY DRAGGED
TO DEATH BY PONY
Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy f. Tyler
Receives Fractured Skull.

Edward Stokes Tyler, aged ten
years, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Royal E.
Tyler, residing south of Lexington,
was almost instantly killed at 4:3O
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, by being
thrown from his saddle and dragged
for distance of quarter of mile.
The little boy had just returned
home from school,. when he was sent
on his pony to take the stock to the
pasture. He had to ride out along
the road, and in making a run to head
off some of the cattle it is supposed
the pony made a sudden turn and
the boy was thrown from the saddle.
Ills foot held in the stirrup and he
was dragged for distance of at least
a quarter of mile before the strap
broke and released him. The acci-
dent was witnessed from a distance,
and Mr.. Tyler saw the boy running
after the stock from the field where
he was working, but did not see him
fall from the saddle.
The pony was new one on the
place, having been brought there a
few days before, and while the animal
seemed perfectly we'll broken, it evil
IDENTIFY became badly frightened when
the boy fell. Mr.. Tyler rushed out
and picked the boy up and carried
him to the house. 1t was found that
his skull was fractured over the right
eye,, and the body was covered with
bruises from head to foot, indicating
that he must have been struck fire.
quently by the hoofs of the horse.
Whether the fracture was caused by
kick from the horse or by impact
when the boy struck the ground,
could not be ascertained. A call was
at once put in for doctor, but the
lad lived but about a half hour after
being carried to the house.
Edward was the Oldest child of the
family and his sudden taking away
comes as very severe shock to the
parents. Funeral arrangements had
not all been completed last evening,
and the burial will likely take place
at Lexington on Friday, awaiting the
arrival of some of the relatives of the
family from a distance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tyler are very CRATE
full to their friends and neighbors
for the great assistance they have
been to them in this hour of grief.
They have proven themselves friends,
indeed and words cannot express the
heartfelt thankfullness of Mr.. and
Mrs, Tyler.

EXHIBITS FINE
WOOL FLEECES

Jack Hynd, of Cecil, has on ex-
hibition at the First National bank
in this city, three clips of wool that
have been of much interest during
the week. These clips are the result
of some experimenting on the part of
Mr.. Hynd, and he feels well satisfied
over the results obtained. While none
of the wool is classed as fine wool,
being of the coarser grades, yet 1t
cannot be considered altogether in
the coarse wool class. 1t is of very
long staple, very clean and of ex-
cellent fiber, showing that the sheep
from which the clips were taken, had
wintered well, and Mr.. Hynd says
that his entire clip of wool shows up
after this fashion this year.
The finest fleece is from half
blood Lincoln eve, the result of a
cross with a full blood Ramboulette.
She is six years old, and the fleece
weighs III pounds. A fleece from
this same eve brought $3.50 at
Portland last year.
Another is from lamb of this eve,
bred back to a Lincoln buck. The
fleece is from a yearling and weighs
19 pounds.
The third fleece is from a half
inl, q
16h pounds.
Mr. Hynd has just finished shear
ing 1900 head of half blood Lincolns,
getting an average of IL " to 12R
pounds to the fleece. He has finished
with all his shearing at the Cecil
ranch, and states that his clip Is
exceptionally fine in quality and
cleanness this year.
