Horses.

Published in the Waukegan Gazette, Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday, June 6, 1857

     Probably the greatest leap on record was made one day last week, at the Helena Shot-tower, Wisconsin. A horse, some twelve years old, jumped from the bank over a precipice of one hundred and eighty feet into the river below, and came out safe and sound, after swimming nearly half a mile to a suitable landing place. The water at the point where the leap was made was from 20 to 25 feet deep.
