HENRY AMSLER KICKED BY HORSE.

Henry Amsler, aged 72 years, was kicked and badly hurt Sunday morning by a horse which he had just turned out in' the barn lot at his home on North Weston street; The horse’s hoofs struck him in the back, just below the left shoulder blade, and broke two ribs square off. In falling his breast struck a post which fractured two rib? in front. He was in a very serious condition when the doctor reached

him. the broken ribs pressing in on the lungs and he suffered from hemorrhage. The doctor straightened up the fractures and he soon showed a marked improvement, but it was thought tyest- to have a Chicago surgeon examine him, and accordingly his local doctor summoned a surgeon here Monday evening who examined the injured man and pronounced him doing all right, and unless pneumonia should set in he will soon be about once more, his rugged constitution carrying him through.
