KINGMAN, Aug. 24-Just when the
streets were most crowded with teams
and people here yesterday the cry of
RUNAWAY" was heard, and a tine team Of
horses hitched 10 light spring wagon
came tearing down the street In the
seat sat little child, erect and seeming
~ all unconscious Of its danger. Four
hOrsemen headed by John Arlington, a
cattleman, turned into the street at this
time and seeing the lone child occupant
put spurs to the.r horses III endedvOr
to catch the runaway.
They came at breakneck speed Ar

horse trying 10 blockade the team, Dat to

horse out of the way TO Keep from being
struck down. = The runaw4ys dashed

after them. For one solid block did he
put his horse down to trying to Overlake

this only seemed to put "a fresh impetus
to the frig htened team just At the cor
ner of Sherman street, Arlington was
along side of the team and with a grasp
he had the of horse by the bit.
While his rider was coming down the
other side under full spur, closing the
gap between him and the team. AIRING

two reasons, one that If he aid he was IN
danger OF being dragged from his sad
die, and another, that It would have made
the team take a sudden turn and caused
a wreck. They were now almost on the
bridge, which seemed to be full of teams
and people.
The crowd rushed into the middle of
the street for blocks in the wake Of the
runaways. People held their breath; a
collision with bridge ratings, posts,
telegraph poles and other vehicles seem
ed certain. just as the team, with Ar
riugion still hanging to the bit Of one
horse. reached the bridge, his man was
