Berkeley

On Monday Evening Last, Charles, son of Wm. F. Gayer, of this city, had ridden
one of his father's horses to a pasture field to bring another horse home. The
little fellow had secured the horse and had started back, leading one and riding
the other, when it is supposed the horses took fright and ran off, either
throwing him off or the led one pulling him from the saddle head downwards, his
foot catching in the stirrup. In this condition he was dragged several hundred
yeards, the horses trampling him between them. He was found in the road near the
toll gate on the road leading to Walker's Mill, in a horribly bruised condition
with the scalp of the head torn entirely lose from the scull. [missing]only a
moment after Mr. [missing] others arrived. [missing] and promising lad and
although [missing] 12 years of age, his father could always [missing] the utmost
confidence in him. -- Statesman, 3d.

Additional Comments:
[missing] is for a hole in the original-- those places had no text readable.
