Read More	High School Boy Accident Victim Victor Boos, 18, son of Henry Boos, and a sophomore last year in the Ritzville high school, was instantly killed Wednesday morning while working in the hay field at the ranch on Crab Creek. Death resulted from a broken neck, the result of attempting to halt a runaway team of horses. The boy and his father were working in the field hauling hay from the stack, when they stopped to scare away some cattle from the feed. The father started around the stack while Victor went in the opposite direction. The team standing nearby bolted and the boy must have tried to halt them. When the father reached the other side of the hay the boy was lying dead. It is presumed that he was knocked down and the wagon passed over his neck. A deep gash was also cut on his head. The team ran toward the house, passig through three open gates and came to a halt at the barnyard, the first intimation that the rest of the family had of the tragedy. The body was brought to the Haight mortuary here and the funeral will be held Sunday from the Zion Congregational church, with interment in the local cemetery. The accident is the second that the same team has figured in, the horses running away last year with Harry Herttemberger, a half brother of the dead boy, and breaking his ankle. The Boos family moved in 1932 to the J. I. Farrier ranch, where both runaways occurred. The surviving members of the family are the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Boos; two sisters, Mrs. Martha Elliot of Washtucna, and Beatrice and one brother, Calvin, the latter two at home; four half-brothers, Ben, Rudolph, Harry and Lawrence Werttemberger and one half-sister, Mrs. Fred Kechter.
