A cow-boy named James Boyd was killed about two weeks ago on O'Fallon creek. He was working for the "Capital B" outfit, whose ranch is on the Sandstone. When last seen alive, he had just turned over a bunch of cattle to a brother cow-boy. The horse he was on was not very bridle-wise and it is supposed that he fell over a bluff with Boyd into O'Fallon creek. The body was found about three days later after the fatal accident. Boyd was a first-class cow-boy and all who knew him, deeply mourn his loss as he seemed to have no enemies whatsoever.
