BEN HUR IN TOWN
With -Four Wild Cayusss BE Eclipses
the Famous Chariot Race.
GOOD Gosh. HOW THEY RAN


Ben Hur never drove In such a race
as was seen in the streets of Anaconda
yesterday afternoon shortly after
o'clock Four horses. maddened by
fright, were running as for their lives.
while the sturdy driver. from a peril
Gus perch in a huge hay rack, guided
them through the crowded thorough
fares without harm to anyone or dam
age to property.
William Calvert was the heroic
driver. He was standing beside the
wagon, at the scales, by Brownell's
stables, where he bad Just weighed the
empty hay rack Four horses, strong
and why beasts, were standing steady,
until two small boys riding a veIloci-
pede In pyramid style, came rafting
along over the sidewalk. In hash one
wheel, took fright and started all four
in Wild run up Commercial avenue.
Calvert ran after them like a deer
and caught the rear end Of the careen-
ing rack az they turned the corner.
He chung on and clambered into the
high crate. then ran along the loose
boards that were rafting on the poles
to where the lines were tied to the lad
der on the point Of the rack He did
1t all In less time than IT takes to read
this paragraph. AS the beasts gall
loped across Main street he threw the
VIII Jay u tie HTOunQs Dut lnt
horse sprang again and was on, adding
to the terror OF his mates.
The roadway in front Of them was
half filed with vehicles, and few
rods further. on the north side, a pile,
of brick stretched half way across the
street, but the driver guided his team
past the distractions safely. and was
lost to view in a cloud of dust. Every
one who saw them expected every mo-
ment to witness a wreck, and that the
driver would be killed or injured, but
the rattle OF the wagon grew fainter in
the distance and they knew the man
was still handling the reins.
On Elm street he wheeled them and
then back again on Park avenue, re-
tracing his route. The crowd on Com
mercial street had not dispersed and
was still specializing on the fate and
end Of the runaway, when the horses
were seen coming back down Park
avenue.
The lead horses had broken their
tugs and were running wild. Still the
Jehu dared not let them go, for the
ribbons were punched and they would
pull the lines Of the wheel horses from
his hands; so he held them and kept
the cayuses in line in spite of their flu
rious efforts to run into vacant lots
and building distractions. At last the
animals had begun to tire and by the
time Alder street was reached, Calvert
drew his smoking belathered steeds
into the sidewalk and several men
grasped them by the brides.
The driver jumped down, and
dropped the lines from his cramped
hands, with which the strings had cut
deep enough to draw blood and he
whipped his arms about This body to
relieve the pain of the ache in his
muscles. The sweat trickled in streams
down his cheeks. Dozens of men
crowded around CnnRrafIl1afa bfyx,
on his nerve and praised his horseman-
ship. while others more practical loosed
the horses and the outfit was taken TO
a shop for repairs. sf
