He was hurt while holding a string of relay horses for his uncle, Lawton Champie. One of the excited mounts kicked him in the abdomen, rupturing his liver. He underwent an operation today, but physicians held no hope for his recovery. The young cowpuncher is survived by his mother, Mrs. Emma Stockdale, two brothers, his grandmother, Mrs. Charles Champie, of Crown King, and two uncles, Lawton and George Champie. This was his second year as a contestant in the Prescott Rodeo. Transcriber's note: Mr. Stockdale is buried at the Mountain View Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
