PreaIdent rhrown from Horse.

President Roosevelt had an exceed
Ingly narrow escape from a serious
accident while out horseback riding
in Rock Creek park, near Washington.
Mrs. Roosevelt was with the president.
The president was riding a new
horse, a young animal. The party rode
down through a cut in a bank, fOrded
a creek, and were ascending the bank
on the other side. The presidents
horse reared, the president leaned for
ward in the saddle and threw the reins
down in loops, so as to avoid pulling
the horse backward. Again, on reach
ing the top Of the bank, the horse
reared a second time, and the presi-
dent leaned forward again, but the
animal stood up straight on its hind
legs and then went over backward in
to the creek, with the president Feel
ing that he was going backward, the
president slipped from the saddle, and,
as luck would have it, fell into the
creek close beside the horse, which
landed on its back. The horse fell
on the down stream side Of the presi-
dent, who, realizing that he would be
in danger from the animals feet
should the horse turn towards him,
got out of the way as rapidly as pos
sible. The horse, however, turned
over from the president and got up.
He was captured at once, the presi-
dent remounted and rode for an hour
and a half before returning to the
White House. The fall from the
horses back to the stream bed was
distance of more than ten feet. The
stream was about two feet deep, with
an exceedingly rock bed. Neither the
president nor the horse received the
slightest injury.
