A Horseman Hurt.

ATcH1soN, February 6.-J. w. Moore, pro-
prietor of the Arlington hotel in this city,
who is the owner of number of fast horses,
was exercising a young trotter to sulky
yesterday afternoon and leading stallion.
A wheel of the sulky broke down and one of
the horses kicked Mr.. Moore squarely in
the mouth. The kick turned inward all the
teeth in his upper jaw and fractured the jaw
bone SO that it was necessary to extract sew
eral pieces of the bone. The horse ran to
the hotel, and encountered fre-plug, when
he became detached from the sulky and
harness. He was captured, and Mr.. Moore,
not realizing the extent of his injuries,
hitched him to another sulky and completed
his course of training.

would entirely prohibit the traffic, even

hibitionist to work as well as vote for
the prohibition of the traffic in this
county. He closed with some remarks
on the line of straight-Out prohibition
work at the election in November.
