Read More	Great Falls Tribune (MT), 31 Oct 1922: Kick From Saddle Horse Kills Belt School Girl Della Viola Dawson, 18-year-old high school girl of Belt, died early Monday morning at the Columbus hospital as a result of being kicked in the head by a horse Friday afternoon. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.A. Dawson and lived on a ranch 2-1/2 miles east of Armington. Miss Dawson was born near Raynesford and her parents have lived there and in the vicinity of Belt for the last 25 years. The accident was unusual in several respects. The girl had just ridden back to the ranch, following the closing afternoon session of high school in Belt. Her father met her and suggested taking a calf down to the chicken house from the barn, a distance of not over 50 yards. The lead rope of the calf was attached to the horn of the saddle and Miss Dawson started to lead the horse. Feeling the rope against his side, the horse began to remonstrate by turning in a circle and maneuvering until one hind foot was over the rope. The girl attempted to pull the animal around straight. Horse, girl and rope became entangled. As the girl felt the rope brush against the back of her head, she ducked to let it clear her and the horse kicked, the shod hoof hitting her squarely in the forehead and making a bad cut about an inch and a half in length. Her father came to her assistance at once, but the girl did not seem to be badly hurt nor did she lose consciousness, discussing the manner in which she had been injured. She was taken to Belt at once and attended by Dr. J.W. Greybeal, who took four stitches in the wound. He was of the opinion she would be able to attend school Monday. She was able to sleep comfortably on Friday night and it was not until late Saturday that nausea and increasing pain gave cause for alarm. Miss Dawson was brought to Great Falls Sunday morning and taken to the Columbus hospital, where an x-ray showed that the blow had crushed the front of the skull, making a hole through to the brain, and that fragments of splintered bone were sticking into the brain. She was operated upon and there was every indication that the operation had been successful. Sunday night she was feeling better and able to converse with her mother. It was not until 1 o'clock Monday morning that a hemorrhage set in, and she grew steadily worse until 2:15, when she died. The funeral will be held at the Methodist church at Belt. Interment will be in Pleasant View cemetery.
