JEWEL BARKLEY

July 8, 1909

Jewell Barkley, son of John Barkley of Tucson was seriously 
injured yesterday morning between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock 
near the home of his uncle, Frank Barkley, southeast of Mesa by 
being dragged under a running horse the result of the saddle 
turning.  It appears that young Barkley, who is about 16 or 17 
years of age, was riding a horse and leaning to one side while 
the animal was approaching a run.

While riding in this manner, the saddle suddenly turned under 
the horse, throwing the young man to the ground and rendering 
him unconscious. He is unconscious at this time and death is 
believed to be imminent.
