drop the rope like hot cake when the
horse suddenly put his head down and

Thomas didn't last long. He suffered
when he struck the ground, but he did
not linger in the vicinity to ascertain
the extent of his injuries. He started
for the top of butte close at hand, and

Looking back from his position of
comparative safety, he could sec that
both animals had become entangled in

away they went in opposite directions,
