Mrs. H. G. Nash of Granville, the
daughter of A. L. Taylor, a well
known Granville farmer, was kicked
in the face by a colt Sunday after
noon and her injuries necessitated the
removal of her left eye. She is at
Christ hospital and is doing as we'll as
possible under the circumstances.
She is a sister of Mrs. George Nc
Entyre of 704 South Taylor street.
It is thought that Mrs. Nash had star
tied the colt when she was walking
behind him in the barn yard. Her
husband, who was nearby, did not see
the blow but heard the sound and
saw his wife stagger to her feet. He
