Kick by Horse Causes Death.
Clarence Ludwig, aged 30, son of Geo. Ludwig, residing just east of Granger, was kicked by a colt on Tuesday afternoon resulting in injuries which caused peritonitis from which death resulted at about 8:30 Wednesday morning. The deceased was watering a team of which the colt was one, preparatory to going to the field, and stepped behind them to go to the well house for a drink when the colt kicked him in the abdomen. But little attention was paid to the matter at the time and the young man intended to continue work but was later attacked with severe pain. Dr. Tierney was called and could not determine the full extent of the injuries and was later recalled, and in the morning Dr. Kessell was called in consultation, but all to no avail.
The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at the Florenceville Church.

The friends and neighbors are in sympathy with the bereaved family, as was shown by the funeral on Sunday afternoon. Despite the bad weather and very bad roads, the M.
