Richard Clemmons, a 10 year old colored boy, was killed last Friday afternoon

which he was riding slipped and fell. The boy was riding one mule and leading 
another when the accident occurred. Being rendered unconscious by a fracture 
at the base of the skull he remained so until he died at about 10:30. With his 
mother, Mrs. Josephine Clemmons, the boy was living on the J. R. McKinney 
ranch and attending the Fruitland school, having come here from Boise some 
time ago. 

The Funeral services were held from the McKinney home at 2:30 Saturday the
