YOUNG LANGDON KILLED 

Was Thrown From Horse Skull Fractured - Operation of no Avail 

While driving some stock into town yesterday Mr. LANGTON(sic), the 16
year old step son of W.H. FERGUSON, was accidentally thrown from his
horse and in falling sustained a serious fracture of the skull from the
effects of which he died at 6:00 this a.m. 

Mr. Ferguson lives about four miles southwest of the city and they were
driving some cattle into the city and when near the Methodist church 
the cattle scattered and in chasing a refractory cow his horse collides 
with the cow throwing the young man. He fell on his head and fractured 
the skull. He was taken to the Caddo Feed Yard (where) medical aid (was)
summoned. After examining his injuries DR. BOYD called DOCTORS MITCHELL
and KERLEY into consultation and an operation was performed, a section
of bone being removed from pressing on the brain and also quite a bit 
of clotted blood. By examination after his death this morning it was
learned that the base of his brain had been injured and that the
operation performed was of little aid in prolonging life. The remains
will be interred today in the city cemetery. Everyone sympathizes with
the bereaved relatives.
