A HINT FOR JOHN HAY.-Here's chance
for John Hay, theauthor of "Jim Buldsoe,"
to try himself. Last Friday, when the
Floyd Hill and Georgetown coach, with six
powerful horses, had stopped at Fall River,
the driver got down for some purpose,
leaving an invalid on the box to hold the
reins. During the absence Of the driver the
horses started on runaway expedition, and
the man on the box was took weak to hold
them. The coach was filled with men,
women, and children, and the frantic beasts
dashed along through the canyon with such
desperate speed that every cheek was blanch-
ed with the fear OF obstruction that seemed so
imminent. In all this danger, though, there
came hero. D. NJ. McCurdy, who is a
commercial traveller for J. A Cooper q Co.,
manufacturers and wholesale dealers in
boots and shoes at Kansas City, was in the
coach, and he clambered out through one of
its narrow windows and gained the box and
the lines while the now thoroughly terrified
horses were fairly flying over the fearful
road, bounded with awful declivities and
iutting rocks. Selling the lines and bend
ing against them with all the strength OF his
arms, and forcing an almost superhuman
weight upon the brake, he checked the
maddened steeds in their wild career, just
on the edge Of precipice that would have
been the end OF all the crew OF the coach
had it gone over. That's al.-Denuer
NeES.
