OMAHA, Nov. 2.-Bitten by a green

that color. To-day he was taken TO the

CALL BUREAU. HOTEL BARTON.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 2.--President
Roosevelt had an escape from death
so narrow that it was almost miracu-
lous by being thrown from his horse
while he was riding through the coun-
try near Washington a week ago last
Sunday afternoon. The accident did
not become known until to-day. The
President was approaching a high
fence at top speed when his horse
stumbled and fell. throwing Roosevelt
off forward. He struck squarely on his
head and was so severely stunned that
he was unconscious for some time. but
how long he does not know. as he was
riding entirely alone. When he re-
gained his senses he found his horse
standing near him.
The President tried to mount, but
he was so dizzy from the shock that
he could not stand 1t was some time
before he regained the full control of
his legs and arms. He then remounted
and rode at slow pace to the point
where his orderly was waiting for
him.
