  1. (continued from previous page)
    Now this is the local story of the Protestant Fall and there was supposed to be about 500 soldiers killed. This is a very doubtful matter at present, as it is hardly likely that the first horse did not know the danger as they have very good feelings in the dark, or that the first horse and man that went over the cliff did not give some alarm when they found themselves falling into space.
