Steve Fisher, driver on Nuckolls
S fuckers meat wagon played the
part of hero last Tuesday in
novel way. His team hitched to
one of the heavily loaded wagons
took fright at the cracking of a
brake in going down Union avenue
near Royal park and skipped out,
going pell nell over the viaduct.
At the foot of the grade on B street
stood a small boy who strange to
say did not see nor hear the ap-
preaching runaway team and would
have met instant death beneath the
iron shod houfs of the frightened
/ horses had not the nervy driver
risked his own life by swinging
them off the straight course on to B
street, and the wagon was upset and
smashed just as he expected it
would, and he was thrown violently
to the ground and was picked up
| bruised and bleeding; but he saved
/ the boy. Such acts of simple her
oism are at least deserving of public
/ commendation.
