RUNAWAY ON THE BOULEVARD

There seems to be any amount of rum
Always on the Boulevard lately, the rate
being one a week for the past two
months. Yesterday afternoon about five
o'clock a small bay horse hitched to a
light grocery wagon. owned by Charles
Harris. of West Tenth street, Bergen
Point, got frightened at a freight train
coming over the tressle of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad over the Boulevard in
Bayonne, and getting the bit between his
teeth he dashed madly down the Boule-
ward through Greenville. The young fell
low who was driving could do nothing
with the frightened beast. He tugged
frantically on the reins and pulled for all
he was worth, but could not stop him.
At Stephens avenue and the Boulevard,
after the horse had run about two miles,
he suddenly switched off into Old Bergen
Here the mud was so thick that
running for about half a block he stopped.
One of the shafts of the wagon was
broken and the hind wheel was sprung,
where it came in contact with a tele-
graph pole at McAdoo avenue. Otherwise
the rig was uninjured. After turning
the horse around out of the mud the
young fellow who was driving foolishly
started to whip the horse, to make him
wonder that more cyclists do not get
urt in these runaways, for there were
over a hundred riding along that section
