While feeding his horses at o'clock
Monday night, George Mulertz was
overcome by stroke of apopleXy
and lay in the stable under the
horses feet all night. He was found
early Tuesday morning by his ~
year.old son who believed his father
had been kicked to death.
Mr. Mulertz was putting his team
away for the night when he fell to
the ground as a result of the attack
of apopleXy. He lay in the stable
through the night with the horses
stamping their heavy hoofs about him,
but not once was he kicked by the
animals. The animals seemed to
know that their master was in dan
ger and hoof marks around the sick
man showed that he often escaped
serious injuries from the hoofs.
Mr. MulertZ was taken to his home
at ll04 Blaine street where it was
found that his entire right side was
paralyzed.
