Kicked by a Horse.
Saturday at the noon hour JOHN A. GANTZ, a prominent farmer of Blackhawk township, met with quite a serious accident. He was coming in from the field and after reaching the barn-yard, some colts bothered his team. He drove them away and returned to unhitch the team; and one of them thinking the colts were still in close proximity kicked MR. GANTZ in the face with the result that he lost four of his teeth and was unconscious for two or three hours. MR. GANTZ will continue to work, however, and the injury will not result seriously.
