Fred Sparklin, 12 years old, son of Mrs. Samuel T. Harris, of Easton, was kicked in the face by a young colt on the farm of Jackson Williams, in Landing Neck, on Tuesday. The boy was brought to Easton Tuesday evening by William M. Elliott, and taken to Dr. Dunning's office. Dr. Dunning called in Dr. Councell, and the two made an examination. They found that there was a compound comminuted fracture of the lower jaw. The fracture was reduced and the laceration was stiched, and the injured boy is now doing well. It was necessary to remove several pieces of bone from his jaw. Drs. Dunning and Councell pronounced it about the worst case of the kind they ever saw. The lad says that he was kicked at noon: and Mr. Williams washed his face and took him to Dr. Johns, who could do nothing for the him, and when he returned to the farm Mr. Williams made him plant corn all the afternoon. Finally, he says, the pain was so great that he started for a drugstore to have some laudanum put on the wound, when Mr. Elliot met him and brought him to Easton. He is now resting comfortably at his mother's and a number of Easton gentlemen are seeing that he receives every care and attention.
