His horse bumped into another and knocked a boy off and then started to rear up and Eddins jumped but failed to clear him enough to be out of the way as he came back over nn him. Death was instantaneous. The body has been sent to the home at Kerrville where burial will be held Thursday. A firing squall of nine men has been sent by the college to conduct a military funeral. P.
