Wheeling Register Newspaper, Oct. 1, 1895
Johnson Yoak, son of Robert Yoak, was kicked in the breast today by a vicious horse and received probably fatal injuries. He is being cared for at the hospitable home of Reece Blizzard, but no hopes are entertained of his recovery. Nipper, the valuable running horse belonging to F. N. Hayes of Gilmer county, collided with a buggy in act of crossing the race track at the Calhoun Fair and was killed. Nipper's time was 1:43.
