A sad accident which resulted in the death of Perry McCarthy, the 12-year-old son of C. J. McCarthy, who formerly resided at Washoe, occurred at the ranch of George Thomas on Dead Ox Flat, Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock. The boy was kicked in the abdomen by a horse which he was trying to handle in the barn. The little fellow died of his injury late Monday afternoon.

The boy was making his home with the Thomas family, attending school, his father having gone to Montana to work in the harvest fields, was located at Higham, Montana, where he was advised by wire of the death of his son.

Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Langley, grandparents of the boy, had the body brought to the undertaking parlors of Wood and Spaulding in Payette, where it was prepared for burial and from which place the funeral took place at 2:30 Wednesday afternoon.
