GUY, MALE
(9 Nov 1904, Wednesday, Elk City Record, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Seven Year Old Boy, Near Samville Meets Death at His Pony's Heels.
A seven-year old son of a Mr. Guy living near Samsville was killed by a
pony, November 8.  The father of the unfortunate boy had gone to Foss to
meet his father-in-law who was expected to arrive from Kentucky.  The
father had left his son to herd some cattle, riding the pony which seems
to have become unmanagable, throwing the boy from the saddle, his foot
holding in the stirrup leather.  He was found by Henry Berry, who keeps
the store at Samsville, in a mangled condition, with his skull broken in
and otherwise bruised and mangled.  No one witnessed the sad tragedy and
the poor boy's body was found by accident not long after it happened.  We
are indebted to S. H. Knox, a neighbor of the people who names appear in
this notice, for our information.
