From the Pensacola (Fla.) News.
1t has reached the ears of the News
that Malcolm Anderson, eldest son of our
efficient mayor, is the nameless hero re-
ferred to in the below article, which, to-
gether with the little poem inspired by
the incident, we clip from recent issues of
the New York World. This is the roman.
tic story:
Margaret Cambeis, 13-year-old girl, of
No. 374 Seventh avenue, attempted TO
cross Broadway at Union square and Fiji
teenth street at 3 o'clock p. m. yesterday.
The Street was crowded with the car
riages of the shoppers, and the gay holt
day throngs moved up and down IN
dense procession
Just as Margaret got half way across a
carriage owned by Samuel Keyser, of
No. IA East Thirty-Sixth street, who is
metal broker, on Reade street, dashed
up, and before Driver John Mcnamara
could check the horses they had knocked
down the little girl. The driver refined
the team up sharply, and the horses be-
gan to prance as they got excited by the
screams of the PROSTATE girl and the
shouts of the crowd that had instantly
gathered around. The iron shod hoofs
of the horses struck the little one several
times before Policeman King, of the
Broadway squad, seized the reins and
forced the animals back. Mrs. Keyser
and her daughter were inthe carriage,
and became muchsexcited.' 80
The little girl was carried to the side
walk opposite Tiffany's and some one
telephoued to the New York Hospital
for an ambulance. Though the hospital
is only block and half away, no am
bulance responded for fully quarter of
an hour. During this time the little
sufferer was moaning with pain, while
the great crowd of promenaders surged
around and looked on in pity.
An athletic young man, dressed in per-
feet style, wedged his way through the
crowd and saw what the trouble was.
"It's an outrage to allow the poor
child to lie there on the street suffering
as she is, he cried" ''If no ambulance
can be had wen have to do the next best
thing, and before any one realized what
he was about he picked the injured child
up in his muscular arms and started on
a trot towards the hospital The crowd
broke out with cheer, and fully three
hundred Of them followed on the side
walk keeping up with the speeding young
stranger and cheering him all the way to
the hospital.
The young man dashed up the steps,
and in few minutes the wants of little
Maggie were being attended to- The
man who had acted as an impromptu
ambulance refused to give his name or
address to the hospital authorities or the
police
Policeman King, meantime, got on the
box with Driver Mcnamara and was
driven TO Jefferson market court. Mrs.
and Miss Keyser were still in the car
riage Justice Hogan paroled the driver
in the.custody of Mrs Keyser to await
the result Of the child's injuries Mrs.
Keyser drove back TO the hospital, where
she gave instructions to spare no expense
in looking after the girl. The injuries
the little one received were on the body
and limbs.
