Show THROWN FROM A HORSE On Wednesday evening last, two young men, one of whom was intoxicated, were both riding horse, when the animal became restive. The youth who was sober, dismounted, but the other one was thrown violently to the ground. When picked up he lay on his back with his head thrown back and under his shoulders so far that his face was on the ground. It is a marvel that his neck was not broken. He was so stunned at first that he appeared to be dead or dying, but in a few moments he drew a deep breath, then commenced to curse and swear in a manner so vigorous as to indicate that the was not seriously hurt. |
