   Tragic Death at Fair Grounds
   
   Early Monday morning, Banks Burrow, the 14 year old son of Maj. B. M.
   Burrow, deaceased, in company with his older brother, Ganri(or d)and
   other boys were training young colts at the fair grounds. Banks was
   riding at full speed with the other riders slightly behind. The horse
   that Banks rode was not able to turn the short curves, and he stumbled
   and fell, throwing his rider to the ground with terrible force. The
   inertia of the animal sent him rolling over the unfortunate boy,
   brusing and crushing him in a shocking manner. Poor Banks was carried
   home bleeding and unconscious, and in a few hours he was dead. The
   body was buried in the Catholic Cemetery in Corsicana the following
   day.
