Mrs. M.C. Dean of Dove Creek was critically injured Sunday when a horse she was riding fell over a 15-foot cliff in the Dolores river canon.
Mrs. Dean was accompanying a party of young folks down the canyon when the accident occurred. The horse lost its footing and fell over the precipice and was instantly killed. That Mrs. Dean lives is almost a miracle, although she did receive fractured ribs and cuts on the head. She is being cared for at her home at Dove Creek.
