horses over the Jumps in Rock Creek

Colonel Mortimer prepared to take

nettIed and instead of going straight
over the obstacle, turned sidewise and
attempted a "slicing" leap. The top
bar caught his hoof. dismounting the
soldier, who a moment later was
pinned under the fallen horse.
I Quick as his friends were in rush

the animal who had failed his master
