SHOWS FALLS

A most painful accident occurred here
last Wednesday night which, for n
while, seemed possibly to have fatal re-
suits. James l.. Suckles has, for some
time, been caring for an injury done to
his horses head last winter by falling
tree, and on that evening went as ususl
10 the stable TO wash aud dress the
wound. As he did not return for some
time his family went out 10 investigate.
Entering the stable they heard him moan
aud found him lying on the floor bleed
ing profusely from nose and mouth.
For some time he could not speak but
finally recovered enough TO tell that the
horse kicked him, striking with fell force
on the side Of the neck just below the
jaw. His escape from serious, u not
fatal, results seems almost miraculous.
Owing to the great swelling IL cannot
yet be told how badly he Is hurt, but II
Is not thought any fractures have been
made.
