The mare, Betsy, became unmanageable, reared and fell backward upon him, injuring him internally.

He was picked up and carried amid great excitement to the house of a neighbor.
I at once set out with my horse at the top of his speed for my father, and informed him of Samuel's mishap.

He took the horse and returned immediately.

When I arrived at Mr.Burns' house, where my brother was, I found my father, mother and sisters there, all weeping bitterly at Samuel's bedside.

A physician, after examining him, pronounced his injuries to be of a fatal character.
