Boy Killed By Horse’s Kick
Pembrook Perkins, 7 year old son of George B. Perkins of Kentfield, was kicked by a horse Thursday afternoon and died as a result of the injury that night.
The little fellow with some companions, it is reported, approached a horse owned by Herbert F. Mann, which had been tied near the Perkins home, when the animal lashed out and struck the boy on the side of the head.
The father, employed by he Frisco Railroad System, with offices in St. Louis, was notified immediately. There are eight brothers and sisters of the little fellow, besides the mother and father, to mourn the sad death of the boy.
