Horse Kicks Henry Amsler And Causes Severe Injuries.

Henry Amsler was kicked by a horse Sunday morning at about 8:30 o’clock and sustained injuries that are severe enough to cause the local physician to call into consultation a Chicago specialist, who will arrive this Monday evening. Mr. Amsler had Just turned the horse out into the lot at his home on Weston street and the horse jumped up ' and kicked playfully. One or both hoofs struck Mr. Aifisler below the left shoulder blade, breaking one rib in two and cracking two others. Injuries to the left lung and diaphram seem also to have resulted and it is possible, that the specialist will decide that an operation Is essential to save his life. Mr. Amsler is an old soldier and about 70 years of age.
