riding around over his big ranch,
and while going through some
heavy alfalfa, his horse fell into a
large ditch, which was about four
feet deep, and entirely hidden by
the growth of alfalfa. He WAS
thrown under the horse in such
a shape that it was impossible to
get out.
The Captain was not only pin
ned down, but for some little time
was partly unconscious. When
he got over the Sworst of the shock
he cut the saddle girth, but this
failed to be of much advantage.
He then managed to cut the bri-
die loose, but this did little good.
Finally his old dog came up to
where he was and taking in the
situation at a glance, started bit
ing the horse on the nose. This
made the horse struggle, but not
sufficient to get free. Then the
dog went to the horses heels, and
kept making him struggle until
he was able to get to his feet.
Mr.. Davis then managed to get
up, and while pretty weak, he
managed to catch the horse again
and was mounting when help ar
rived. Mrs. Davis had become
alarmed and sent 81. Bailey to
look for the captain.
Had it not been for the dog,
the chances are very good that
the captain would not have been
found until too late, as the ditch
is an entirely bliud one with the
alfalfa covering it over and the
chances are that searchers would
have not found him for perhaps
several days.
DR.. Price went out to the ranch
and made a careful examination,
which failed to reveal any broken
bones, and while the captain will
be very sore and bruised for some
time, yet he is fortunate to get
out of a scrape like that with his
life, which he probably owes to
his faithful dog.
