Ranch Hand Killed In Fall Over Bank

Frank Nobili, a ranch hand employed by Nick Bettini on the La… Ranch, known as No. 7 in the …ton properties back of Inverness, was instantly killed last Firday when his saddle horse fell over a … bank.

The man was alone when the fatality occurred. His employer reported that he was sent out to drive a bull to a certain pasture. It is believed that in trying to prevent the bull from turning back to the barn, Nobili turned his horse sideways suddenly and went over the bank. An examination proved that Nobili’s neck was broken. He was 33 years of age, a native of Italy.

The remains were removed to the morgue here Friday night by Coroner .. Ray Keaton.
