vented a Terrible Accident
Two ladies' OF this city were saved

dent. Mr. Lee was leaving his home,
on west Grace street. and when near the
corner OF Laurel saw two ladies' In a
buggy. and the horse which drew IL run
ming fun tilt toward him ana completely
beyond the control OF the LADY who he'd
the reins. The other lady made sign
70 Mr.. Lee 10 stop tho horse but that
gentleman knew that IL would be folly
Tor him 10 run out into the street and
attempt 90 intercept "a runaway horse.
However Dee had 10 his hand a walking
cane with "a crook al the end, and u
occurred TO him that ne might use this
10 stop the horse and save the ladies'.
Tie. therefore. mOtiOned 10 tho driver TO
pun the horse in near TO the curbing,
which she dla, and. as the frightened
nulinN made q dash toward the side

say. succeeded at the gnme time in
hooking The cane into the relns. The
horao was stunned by tho blow ana stop
ped Ike ho had been shot This gave
Mr.. Lee time 10 pull the roins to him
