A MISTAKES IDEA.
[BY TYLECnAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Invbrcargile, Monday. Mr. H. In VINO, of Myross, met with an accident which shows that the popular belief is not always to be relied on. He had taken a draught horse to a neighbour to have its tail docked. In accordance with custom one o? the hind legs was strapped up to prevent kicking. Irving had drawn near to watch operations when the horse lashed out with its free foot, which struck him full in the face, breaking his nose and lacerating the flesh. Fortunately the horse was not shod. Most horsemen believe that a horse cannot kick while one leg is secured off the ground.
