Ollie VotaW, who lives near Wright,
had an experience Saturday that he
will not care TO have repeated. He
was loading loose straw onto a wagon
and some colts in the field were both

fork to drive away the trouble-makers,
but one of them was too fast for him
and before he could hit it, the colt
kicked at him and struck the pitch
fork handle, driving it against his
face with such force that it knocked
out seven or eight teeth. All but
three of the teeth were broken off
and Mr. fotaw has been suffering
severely from the accident.
