A NASTY ACCIDENT.
KICK FROM A HORSE,
By Telegraph—Press Association. Invercargill, last night* Mr H. Irving, of Myross, met with an accident which shows that the popular belief is not to be relied on. He had taken a draught horse to a neighbor to have tho tail docked. In accordance with custom, one of the hind legs was strapped up to prevent kicking. Irving had drawn near to watch the operation, when the horse lashed out with the free foot, which struck him full in the face, breaking the nose and lacerating tho flesh. Fortunately the horse was not shod. Most horsemen are sound in the belief that a horse cannot kick while one leg is secured off tho ground.
