Demeritt OF upper Main street was
kicked by horse about 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon and thrown several
feet. He was taken to Heaton hospital
after brief examination by Drs. G. r.
Hunt and NJ. F. Mcclure, who were sum
moned, and an X-ray photograph was
taken this morning to determine if his
right leg was broken. The horse kicked
him about halfway between the knee and
hip and if the limb is found to be frac-
tured, as it is feared, Mr.. Demeritt will
be confined to the bed for considerable
length of time, he being about "a years
old. A boy had been cleaning the barn
and had left basket in the stall of
one of the horses. Presumably, the bas-
ket had caused the animal to become

to hitch up the horse he kicked violent
ly.
