Rufus Barrett was kicked to death as a result of a runaway accident on his uncle's ranch near Rockford on Sunday. The unfortunate young man was the nephew of Bert Barrett and since the death of his parents both he and his sister resided at the Barrett ranch. On Sunday morning some feed was needed for the horses and Rufus hitched up a team to a farm wagon in order to haul some bundles of grain from a neighboring field. After he had been absent from the ranch for some time, his sister happened to look out the window and saw the team, still attached to the upturned wagon standing on the hillside a short distance from the house, hastily called her aunt, Mrs. Bert Barrett, she pointed out the team and with a ranch hand, who was working there at the time, started out to ascertain what had happened to her brother. After a short search in the grain field they found the object of their quest, injured and unconscious and evidently dying. Everything was done for the unfortunate boy, which the love of his sister and aunt could devise. With the assistance of MacDonald he was carried to the house and the doctor telephoned for from Rockford. He died, however, before medical attendance arrived and upon an examination being conducted by the doctor, it was ascertained that a large blood clot had formed over the lungs and heart and the bruised condition of the body indicated that he had been kicked to death. He evidently had loaded the wagon with bundles and had started to climb in over the dashboard; the bundles slipped and he was precipitated onto the heels of the horses. The sudden impact frightened them and kicking viciously at the falling boy they started on the run and only stopped after upsetting the wagon and running up the steep ascent to the ranch. The deceased was also a nephew of Mrs. Fred Hanna and was liked and respected by all who knew him. At the time of his death he was fifteen years of age. The funeral took place Monday. Fergus County Argus, Lewistown, MT, 5 Nov 1902 -- Parents: Henry "Harry" Barrett and Clara Emily Thompson 1900 Federal Census, living with uncle Bert Barrett and aunt, Rose, and sister, Caroline, at Rock Creek, Fergus county, MT.
