The horses at once braced themselves and the terrible 'leon del monte. with screams of rage, bit at the hide ropes and tore up the dirt in the most desperate manner. ' "I at once wheeled my horse to one side and my companion to the other, and there he was between us and unable un-able to reach either of us.'
