HEELS AND HEAD
Sesous Injuries Inflicted by Playful
HnrSe

Horse
Emile Deconet, proprietor of the
Model Dye works at No. 406 East Sixth
street, was seriously injured about 4:30
yesterday afternoon by being kicked in
the face by a horse. Deconet led the
animal out of the barn and into a vacant
lot next to his place to allow the animal
an opportunity to Craze Just how the
accident happened no one seems to know
but few minutes afterward Deconet
was found lying unconscious, blood
streaming from terrible wound on his
chin.
The patrol wagon was called and con-
veyed the injured man to the receiving
hospital, where he was attended by Drs
Hagan and Hagadorn. The iron-shod
hoofs of the horse had evidently struck
Deconet fair on the point of the chin,
cutting circular cash four inches long,
fracturing the jaw bone, cutting the
lower lip completely in two and knock
ing out nearly all the front teeth. The
shattered bone was wired together and
the wound dressed, the patient being
put to bed for the night.
Deconet had no idea of how he was
hurt, and did not know what had hap
pened. He will be laid up for some
time. and will probably be sent to the
county hospital today.
