Bird, the eight year old son of J. E. Wilson of Texmo started to lead a horse to water on Monday last, May 17, 1909.

Not thinking of the danger, the little fellow tied the halter rope around his waist.

The horse becoming frightened, started running, dragging the child to death.

Bird was born about 1901 or 1902.
