One was waiting for John Big Dog, who would never ride by night or day again. This animal the robbers divested of saddle and bridle and set free. They mounted the other two with the bag across one pommel and rode fast and with. dis cretion thru the forest and up a primeval, lonely gorge. Here the ani mal that bore Bob Tidball slipped on a mossy boulder and broke a fore leg. They shot him thru the head at once and sat down to hold a ceunctl of flight.
