While so engaged she was kicked by one of the animals and her skull fractured. I pon the return of the family a search was instituted for the missing girl and later the neighbors were aroused to (help in the hunt. About nine o’clock that night she was found in the pasture, where she fell and in an unconscious condition. Dr. Besse was called and rendered what aid he could but advised taking her to the Lafayette hospital, which was done. Word from the hospital this morning is to t’he effect that the broken piece of skull has lifted and t'hat she is resting quietly.
