Details of Event
He was bringing his horse to the stables at the end of the shift and was followed by two other drivers, each with a horse. On arriving at the stables lie stepped to one side to allow the horses to pass. The first two passed quietly but the third struck out and kicked him in the stomach inflicting injuries from which he died in the infirmary on October 21st. The horse was not of a vicious character.
