ELDERLY LYLE MAN KILLED BY SADDLE HORSE

The mangled body of Albert P. Dickerson, 69-year-old the High Prairie resident, was found near his home at Scotland Acres last Sunday morning. Dickerson, who had been dead less than an hour when found, had apparently been thrown from a horse and stomped to death. C.R. House, Klickitat county sheriff, who investigated the accident said.
Dickerson's horse, bridled and saddled, was grazing in the field nearby. Dickerson's body was discovered by Manuel Leonardo, of Dallesport. Leonardo immediately notified authorities.
According to Leo F. Brune, Dallesport sheepman who had employed Dickerson for many years, the horse had been broken to ride less than a year ago. The animal had not been ridden for nearly four months prior to the time of the accident, Brune said.
Dickerson came to Klickitat county in 1895 and had resided in the High Prairie section most of the time since. He was born in Virginia. Survivors include one daughter, Mrs. Etta Welch of Portland, a daughter in LaGrande, Oregon; and grandchildren in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Funeral services were held from the Chapman chapel Wednesday afternoon with burial following at the Hartland cemetery. Rev. C.E. Hanes conducted the services.
