The Washington Republican Washington County Friday August 17, 1900 Killed by a Horse. Last Saturday young FISHER, who was working for Joe NUTTER in Higland township was thrown from a horse and killed. He was driving some other horses and mules from one pasture to the other and had dismounted to close a gate. When he mounted his horse again he was thrown violently to the ground, his head striking in such a way that his neck was broken. There was no one with him when he was thrown, but his horse was soon discovered loose without a rider and in about a half an hour the young man's body was found where he fell. He was about 20 years of age and his parents live in the south part of Nebraska.
