FATAL
Injuries Believed To Have
Been Sustained
By Martin Horn vino Was
Kicked By Horse
Breast Bone Crushed By AMI
mails HOOf

Bladensburg, Ohio, August 29---Mar-
tin Horn, an aged farmer, residing ab-
out three miles north of here was
kicked upon the chest by horse
Thursday afternoon and was perhaps
fatally injured. He was working in
the stall near the horse and had just
stepped to the rear Of the animal
when it kicked him. His condition is
now very critical.
Mr. Horn had been accustomed to
working with the horse and did not
fear that it would iDjure him. He
did not pay special attention to the
animal while in the stall previous to
the accident and the blow by the
horses hoofs came entirely unexpec-
ted. He was struck upon the chest
and upon the right hand which he
threw up to protect himself when he
saw the animal start to kick. He was
hurled violently backward against the
stable wall and was for time uncon-
scious. He was discovered by other
members of the family shortly after
he had been injured and was taken to
the house short distance away.
DR.. Eley of Howard was called in at
tendance and it was found that the
breast bone was broken and that there
were probable internal injuries.
Mr.. Horn is one of the Oldest res
idents of this section of the country
and is very well and favorably known.
He is nearly ninety years of age.

able for a Decoration day program.
This club of singers and soloists have
just completed a tour over the entire

Taxpayers League Object to His Side

The Taxpayers League, at its next
meeting will hit City Commissioner
Roy L. Bone from new angle This
time it will be from the standpoint of his
using his office in the city hall to carry on
a business in the sale of bonds while at
the same time he insists upon the employ
ment of a city auditor to do the work that
members of the league claim that he
should be doing.
w. H. Kemper, a member of the league,
said today: Mr.. Bone told me that he
was carrying on bond business. He said
mat the law stipulates the amount of time
that the mayor shall spend in his office
but does not do SO in connection with the
commissioners; that it is perfectly legiti-
mate for him to conduct this business
Now the city pays Mr.. Bone as COM
missioner a salary and he finds it neces-
sary to hire some one else to do his work
at the expense of the city,

PICG RESTING EASY.
Hotel Clerk Who Leaped From Fall
ing Taxicab in No Danger.

Ransom Pigg, day clerk at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, who was the victim of
taxicab accident near Fourth and Day.
les streets early Tuesday morning, is
reported to be resting comparatively
comfortably at Christ's hospital this af-
ternoon. He sustained a fracture of
both bones of his right lower limb.
P1gg was being driven IN a taxicab
at o'clock in the morning by Robert
Quarels a driver. to the home of a
friend in the country, he said. The
machine, as a result of the failure of
the front lights to burn, ran down a
20 foot embankment into Biddle creek.
In jumping from the taxicab Pigg was
injured. The driver who kept his place
was not injured. The machine belonged
to the T. Lawless garage.

AFTER MOTORCYCLISTS
Chief Hughes Believes Owners Are
Switching Numbers.

Chief of Police ]. w. F. Hughes is
now going after motorcycles, who are
using fictitious numbers on their ma
chimes. He has found that the use of
any number except that designated is
in violation of the new city ordinance,
and he promises to make it interesting
for a number of motorcyclists who
are not using the right numbers. Out
of four he followed last night he
says, one had the right number. The
others were using numbers to which
they were not entitled. No arrests
have been made, but they are prom
ised
The trouble has come about through
the transfer of machines from one
owner to another, and the failure to
re-register. One machine the chief
traced through half a dozen hands
records of the changes of ownership
were made, and the number stood
charged to the original purchaser.

HE FAVORED Topeka.
Professor Picken Voted for This City
in Teachers Convention.

William S. Picken. principal of the
Western Normal school of Hays, Kan,
has asked to have his name withdrawn
from the list of applicants for the posi-
ton of superintendent of city schools
of Topeka. He has written to the board
of education stating that he has procur-
ed a position that suits him better.
The statement has been made in this
city that Principal Picker worked last
fall against Topeka as the meeting
place for the State Teachers associa-
ton, but he writes the State Journal
that this is not true. He said:
II had the honor to preside over the
Sixth district caucus in which the pro-
position for a removal of the associa-
ton to Hutchinson received but one
vote in its favor. The chairman did
not vote. 1 can find a score of men
and women from the Sixth district who
will testify that in every instance when
the subject was under discussion I ar
gued for the retention of Topeka as inc
permanent place of meeting
