Contributor: Julia Kinsey (48922386) • [email protected]) Big Timber Pioneer, May 2, 1912 Overtaken By Tragic Death Roy Olson Victim of Fractious Horse Bruised And Battered In Trying to Mount Is Partially Thrown and Dragged By Frightened Animal Roy Olson died at the home of his parents in this city last Saturday at noon in consequence of injuries received about 6 o'clock the evening before on the ranch until recently owned by his father several miles beyond Melville. At the time of the accident, he was preparing to go after some horses and had saddled and bridled another horse he intended to ride. The animal was young and high-lifed and more or less trouble had always been experienced in mounting it. After several attempts, the young man succeeded in getting one leg partially across the saddle, but before he could gain his seat the horse began to buck and jump sidewise. This caused the rider to slip forward and the leg of his chaps caught in the horn of the saddle leaving him suspended with his head downward. Mr. Olson made repeated attempts to recover himself but was unsuccessful, and the horse started to run. Attempted Assistance Fails Roy's father and a couple of other men who were near tried to catch the horse before it had gained much headway, but in this they were unsuccessful. Once Mr. Olson senior secured hold of the bridle reins, but they were jerked out of his hand by the now thoroughly frightened animal which broke into a mad run. It had proceeded only a short distance when the rider's head was observed to strike the ground and he gave utterance to a short explanation as though in pain, the only sound he made. After running several hundred feet the horse brought up at a bridge where it was secured and the young man released. Failed to Regain Consciousness When relief reached him Roy was found to be unconscious. He was carried into the house and a telephone message sent to the city for Dr. O'Leary. Securing the services of Sam Solberg and his auto the doctor immediately left for the ranch where he arrived in about an hour afterward. Young Olson, whose scalp was torn and head bruised and battered was still unconscious. All efforts to revive him failed. Realizing the seriousness of the case the doctor decided to remain overnight and directed the auto to return to town. No change in the patient's condition manifested itself, and it was decided to bring him to town in order that he might secure the better care and attention that could be given him at home. It was about 11:30 o'clock when the wagon conveying him arrived at the house. He was placed in bed in a dying condition. The end came half an hour afterward, without a moment's consciousness having been permitted him. Was Native Montanan Roy Olson was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore T. Olson. he was born at Robinson, Mont., Nov. 9, 1891. the greater part of his life was spent in this county. he attended school in this city from which he graduated but did not enter the high school. He was of exemplary habits, studious and gifted with rare brightness of mind. His ambition was to become a civil engineer, an ambition that was on the eve of being realized his father having but lately sold their ranch and plans made to send the youth off to school, there to prepare himself for the profession he had chosen. The horses he started to round up were included in the sale and it was for the purpose of making delivery that he was going after them. In his sad death, the family was deprived of a loving son and the community of a young man whose life was full of promise. The sorrow felt is widespread and sincere and the sympathy that is extended the bereaved family profound. The funeral took place Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence. Services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Engelstad, pastor of the Lutheran church. Albert Esp, Telmer Esp, E. L. Rostad, Ronald Halversob, Oscar Solberg, and Elmer Arneson, former schoolmates were the pallbearers. The floral offerings were many and of rare beauty. Conspicuous among them were a harp from the Sunday school of which the deceased was a member; star and crescent mounted by the confirmation class, a large wreath by the Woodmen, and a bouquet by the Royal Neighbors. Interment was in the local cemetery. Contributor: Julia Kinsey (48922386
