COUNT sALA's BRAVERY.
His Leg Broken In an Attempt to
Stop a RUNAWAY

WASHINGTON, July Count Sala, first
secretary Of the French legation and we'll
known to many persons of prominence in
this country, had his right leg broken this
afternoon while stopping runaway horse
which was dashing towards some women
and children only short distance away.
The horse was attached to one of the han
som cabs at a public stand at corner of Yer
mont avenue and First street. He took fright
Arlington Hotel, and turned into Adison
Place, on which Secretary Blaine resides.
The horse was in front Of the Secretry's
residence, and it looked almost certain that
he would run over some women and children
in the street, when Count Sala pluckily
rushed out and grabbing the reins, attempted
to check the animal. He was thrown to the
ground but succeeded in stopping the horse
and averting the threatened accident.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Please allow me to thank you and the good
people Of your beantifal city for the grand
