While driving along the county road
Tuesday night, Mr.. Ernest Cherix met
with very severe and distressing acci-
dent. In the carriage with Mr.. Cherix
were two companions, and all were re-
turning home from the farm of his
brother. Mr.. Paul Cherix. The horse.
which they were driving. has a reputa-
ton as a kicker. As they were passing
over an uneven place in the road the
carriage wheel is said to have sunk down
in deep rut. This threw Mr.. Cherix
forward over the dashboard, some part
of his body or his arms striking the
horse. He began rearing. and before
Mr.. Cherix could be extricated from his
perilous position, the horse had given
him a severe blow over the left eye
with his hoof. The horse was unshod,
otherwise the blow would probably have
been fatal. Mr.. Cherix was brought to
Snow Hill, where he was given surgical
attention by DR.. Straughn. Wednesday
