KICKED IN FACE BY A HORSE

Elmer Humphrey, who resides on the Joe Larsh farm east of town, was kicked by a horse Friday evening and quite badly injured. Mr. Humphrey was contemplating selling the horse and had led it out of the barn to show to some prospective buyers. The horse was quite playful and Mr. Humphrey was trying to quiet it when it wheeled and kicked him, striking him in the mouth, knocking out six teeth and cutting his lips and chin quite badly. It was .a terrible blow. Mr. Humphrey fell to the ground unconscious and remained in that condition for some time.
