Kicked BY the Horse.

Mr. and Mrs. Byron Grim and
son, of Wa-Keeney, Kansas, are
here visiting their relatives Last
Saturday they had very dis
agreeable and exciting expert
ence while driving into town from
Harley Newcomers, north of
Bryan. When at the Lake Shore
crossing on north Main street,
the horse became heightened at
a passing hand car, and began to
kick. Mr.. Grim was driving and
by good horsemanship and a cool
head he managed with the help
of bystanders, to get out of the
rig and get the horse under con-
troll, but not till it had kicked the
buggy and damaged it and also
hurt his little six year old son,
who was sitting in front just be-
hind the dashboard. The little
fellow received hard blow from
the horses hoof, cutting his
head in front of the ear and re
quiring the attention of a sur
geon. Mrs. Grim was also bruis-
ed and badly shaken up but not
much injured. : Bryan Ohio

Walker. in explaining the ac- cident. said that he was washing his dog in the rear of the veterinary es- tablishment, and that he placed his revolver on either the table or the chair by the table. he did not remem- Der which. In some manner. which Mr. Walker was unable to explain. the revolver fell to the concrete pavement of the floor. one of the cartridges ex- ploding by the contact.
 The ball entered Mir. Walkers right leg below the knee in Q diagonal man ner, the attending surgeon being of the opinion that the small bone of the leg had been broken or damaged to a great extent. The wound. while be- ing extremely painful, Is not consid- cred as dangerous
