May Die From Injuries.


Last Saturday Hedge Myhr,
who lives in the south part of
town met with a severe accident
that may yet prove fatal. He
was watering his horses when
one of them jerked him off his
feet and he stumbled and fell be-
hind the other one standing in
the barn. This horse kicked him
with both feet, one hoof strik-
ing him in the face and the 9TH
er in the body which drove the
sharp corks of the shoe through
his clothing in such manner
/as to draw him under the ami
mails hoofs so that he was bad
ly trampled besides the terrible
kicks of the horse. At least this
is the way the accident is sup
posed to have happened for Mr..
Myhra was unconscious when
found few minutes after the
accident and he has never fully
recoved consciousness since and
coupled with his advanced age,
it is feared his injuries may
prove serious, inded. The many
friends hope, however, that they
may not prove fatal and that
Mr.. Myhra will soon recover
