many years chairman of the town, and
widely known and esteemed in this
county, met with a most serious and
distressing accident last week. He had
horse troubled with a sore neck and
one of the boys on the farm was taking
care of it. The soreness irritated the
horse and as Mr.. Kruel stepped by the
stable door he turned in to aid the boy
and as he came near the horse he struck
it gently on the hip just as any one is
apt TO do. The horse instantly kicked
with terrific force, striking Mr. Kruel
squarely in the mouth. completely
crushing the lower jaw and tearing the
teeth Of the upper jaw from their sock
cts. The bones were literally crushed
to splinters and driven into the flesh
making it a difficult matter for the ply
sicians to find all the pieces. For some
time Mr.. Kruels life was despai-ed of
but we are glad that later reports state
that his chances of recovery are good
