Young Saco Lad Killed By Pony
Hinsdale, May 30--William, the 5-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Abel, met death at a ranch west of Hinsdale Sunday afternoon. The little fellow mounted a horse that had on a side-saddle and the stirrup being too long, fastened his foot in the straps. The horse becoming frightened at something, threw the boy and in his fall his foot caught in the strap. At the same time a bunch of horses came running into the corral, then wheeled and ran out, the saddle horse following them with the little fellow dangling from the strap and dragging the body on the ground. It was two hours before the frightened and heartbroken mother found the almost lifeless child.
