H. J. Judd's Miracle of Survival During Mexican Rebel Attack

During a clash between Mormon colonists and Mexican rebels near Colonia Juarez, a group of scouts led by Orson P. Brown were fired upon from the camp of the enemy. The scouts were forced to flee on horseback over steep, rocky terrain while under heavy fire. H. J. Judd's horse stumbled and fell during this flight, which usually would have meant death for the rider given the proximity of the enemy, but Judd miraculously recovered from the fall and continued to escape.

Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 56, No. 2, 8 January 1894):

A party of scouts, under the leadership of Orson P. Brown, were fired upon from the camp of the enemy. The scouts were compelled to retreat, and in their flight over the rough and rocky ground, under a heavy fire, H. J. Judd's horse stumbled and fell, throwing his rider. It seemed almost certain that he would be killed, but he miraculously recovered himself and escaped.
