Killed by Bronchos

While leading a pair of bronchos to the drinking fountain in Beloit
Saturday, George Moffitt was instantly killed. It seems that he tied the
two halter straps together and when the bronchos became frightened over the
approach of a street car, began to run, and in some way crossed the leading
straps around Moffitt's body and dragged him to death. He was kicked and
pounded by both horses and paving stones till all semblance of a human
being was nearly obliterated. No human aid could be rendered the
unfortunate man till the animals were finally corralled.

Mr. Moffit was a man of forty years, and leaves a mother, five brothers and
five sisters.
