was passing over this section, Robert

which might have cost him his life, but
from which he emerged without so much

Robert out but lighting or his feet he
held to the reins. This frightened the
animal so that it plunged forward and
with breakneck speed dashed down a
small Tavine into the creek, a distance OF
80 feet or more from the street. Mr..
Walters got the frightened horse unhitched
rom the vehicle as quickly as possible

trip in daylight without killing the horse,
and the escape is much in the shape of a
miracle. 1t is supposed the lightning
flashes blinded the animal and turned
him off the road.
