Young Man Kicked By Mule Brought to Home of Henry Amsler.

George Flint, the young man who was kicked in the face by a mule at Floyd Amsler’s home, 'northeast of town, last Friday evening, was brought to Rensselaer today and will be cared for at the home of Henry Amsler. He was badly injured and it became necessary to take a great many stitches in his lips to close up the wounds made by the mule’s hoof. He is unable to talk and probably will be some time in recovering. He Is only 18 years of age and has lived with Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Amsler for almost four years. He came here with his mother and stepfather, who are exteremely ignorant Norwegians, and was offered a home with the Amslers. His people later went to the northwest and he has heard nothing from them for three years. The lad had an unpronounceable Norwegian name and he changed his name to Flint. He has proven a fine boy and Mr. Amsler and family have taken a great liking to him and |he will be given every care during his recovery from the injury. Unless infection sets in, it is thought the lad will recover. His mind is active and he wrote the name and address of a person he wanted notified in case the accident resulted fatally. >
