The Dalles Chronicle, Friday, April 28, 1893, page three At Bickleton (Washington), Mr. Watson's son, about five years old, was leading a horse, and it is supposed fell down. The horse stepped on his head, crushing it. The boy was still alive, but without any hope of recovery. ARLINGTON RECORD The Dalles Weekly Chronicle, Wednesday, June 12, 1901, page three Jake Prahl, who killed Dan Maloney in this city (The Dalles) some five or six years ago, was himself shot, but not dangerously, at Glenwood (Washington) last Sunday afternoon, by a young man named Billy McGrath. From the best information at hand it appears that the shooting occurred over a dispute about range. Prahl had a flock of sheep on the shares, and young McGrath, it is said, warned Prahl that there would be trouble if he brought the sheep on the lands of McGrath’s step-father any more. Prahl renewed the offense and McGrath fired at him with a shot gun loaded with buck shot, one shot taking effect in Prahl’s hip. It is said Prahl did some shooting himself, but whether as the aggressor or otherwise could not be learned. Prahl arrived at Goldendale (Washington) Monday evening, where an unsuccessful effort was made to extract the bullet.
