Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

George Devine, teamster and scavenger, lay in a field on Eleventh street beyond the west side car line from 9 o’clock last night until 7 o’clock this morning, a fallen horse on his leg and with the member broken below the knee and giving him excruciating pain that at times caused consciousness to flicker out.
Devine was found at 7 o’clock this morning by men who assist him in the scavenger business, the ambulance and physicians were summoned, and now he is at the hospital, where every effort is being made to overcome the effects of his long exposure.
The man had, it seems, gone into the field, which is not far from his stopping place, at which several men kept house alone, and had there found one of his horses fallen and unable to get up. Alone, he tried to get the animal to its feet. Enraged, the horse made a lunging attempt to rise and Devine, close, was caught by the resultant second fall. His leg was imprisoned beneath the animal’s body, and there the two lay, equally helpless, all night.
