At onco tho an-Jmal an-Jmal lunged to his feet, only to be Immediately Im-mediately seized by. tho nearest rider. Hut the Dos Cabesas man lay still, his arms and legs spread abroad, his head doubcd sideways In a horribly suggestive manner. Wo hopped off. Two men straightened him out, while two more looked carefully over the Indications In-dications on the ground. "All right,1' sang out ono of these, "the horn didn't cntch him." He pointed to the indentation left by the pommel. Indeed, Ave minutes brought the man to his senses. Ho I complained of n, very twisted back. Homer sent one of tho men in after the bud-wagon, by means of which tho suffeier was shortly transported to camp, lly the end of tho weok ho wns again In the Biulillo. How men escape, from this common accident with Injuilcu so slight has always puzzled puz-zled me. Thu horse rolls completely over his ilder, and yet It seems to bo tho rarest thins In the world for tho latter to he either killed or permanently permanent-ly Injured. |
