Sunday night, December 9th, from
~concussion of the brain.
He received a fractured skull Fri
day evening when a horse kicked him
a vicious blow over the left eye, cut
a deep cash in The flesh, and rendered
him unconscious until death. He was
taken to the hospital where every care
possible was taken to restore him TO
consciousness, but he slowly sank un-

The exact circumstances of the ac-
cident that resulted in Mr.. Martens
death will never be known. He was
alone when he received the fatal kick.
Christmas night about six O'Clock. he
saddled "A horse and rode to his
brother Herman's ranch to feed and
care for his stock, Herman having
left home on a short visit. Mr.. and
Mrs. Otto Martens. the former a broth
er ~ the deceased, rented Emils ranch
some time ago and the three have been
living together. When Emil failed to
return within a reasonable length of
time they concluded that he had visit
ed one of his n%eighbors and would be
home later In the evening. He failed
to appear as the hours passed. Final
ly, Otto and Mrs. Martens became wor-
ried over his disappearance. and taxi
Ing "A lantern went to investigate. They
found Emil lying In the far corner
of the barn. back of the horses with
his head OF a sill. He was unconsci-
u and had a deep cash over the
left eye. One hand was mlttenless
and badly frozen. The other was UNI
der his body and had been protected
from the cold. Both feet were slight
ly frozen, though Thursday night was
warm compared to some of the previ-
GUS ones when the thermometer regis
tered between sixteen and twenty de-
grees. They carried him out of the
barn and into Herman Martens house
and called the doctor. They took him
to the hospital Saturday still ~liseless

Those most familiar with the cir

must have kicked Emil while he was
