Theodore Edgar, the little 8 year old son of Theodore Strom living between here and Swedeborg, was killed by a horse about 7 o'clock Wednesday morning. The child was riding one of the horses to the field as they went to work and Mr. Strom was leading the horse when the animal became frightened and gave a sudden jump, jerking loose from Mr. Strom and ran away. The child was thrown from the horse but his feet caught in the harness and was drug 'till the horse had exhausted himself. The child was horribly bruised and dead when rescued. The little body was tenderly laid away in the St. John cemetery yesterday. The sympathy of the many friends of the family goes out to them in the ordeal of this terrible accident. -Richland Mirror
