Headline:  FRANK O'BRIEN FATALLY HURT TAMING HORSE

Frank E. O'Brien, 42, succumbed Monday afternoon to injuries received
Sunday when he was thrown by a bucking horse near his ranch in
Escalante canon (SIC).  The horse started bucking as soon as Mr. O'Brien
mounted, and at each jump the saddlehorn struck the man, inflicting
numerous internal injuries.  O'Brien finally fell from the horse, but
managed to drag himself some distance to the road, where he was found
in a critical condition by Horace Richards.  Richards brought him to
his home in North Delta where he passed away at 2:30 the next afternoon.

Mr. O'Brien was born in Leadville September 11, 1893, but has lived here
for a number of years.  Mrs. O'Brien and their six children have been
living in North Delta to give the children an opportunity to attend school,
but he lived on the nationally famous Capt. Smith place in Escalante.

No funeral arrangements have as yet been made awaiting word from his father,
J. E. O'Brien of Craig, Colo.   The Delta Memorial Chapel is in charge.

Left to mourn his death are his widow, six small children, and his father.
