Fatally Kicked by a Horse.
GORHAM, Jan. 15, 1883:
No hope was written on the kind physician's face after an examination of the wounds inflicted upon the body of Payson Birdseye caused by the kicks of a horse. On Friday last deceased went to his barns as usual to do the chores, and upon entering the horse stable saw that one of the blankets had worked back on one of the animals. He stepped into the stall beside the horse, and in replacing the blanket the horse resented the treatment. As the stall was narrow the horse had the deceased at a disadvantage, and commenced kicking; and in his endeavors to protect himself and get away Mr. B. received injuries resulting in his death. He walked from the stable, and soon after he entered the house he sat down and drew off his boots remarking: "I guess that I am hurt badly, worse than I thought," speaking to his wife. He soon gave evidence to his anxious wife that such was the case. She hastily summoned a physician, but without avail, for already the shadow had come and settled on his brow. The angel had done its bidding. Oh, how sad! God help the widowed one, for she is all alone. Other bereaved ones can sympathize with her, but what avail is human sympathy at such times? The deceased was 44 years of age.
