MILBURN's BRAVE ACT.
Though Suffering Pain, the Mounted
Officer Stops a RUNAWAY.

re- - La
u Patrolman Milburn, yesterday.
celebrated his return to duty after his
painful accident of a week ago, by making
q daring capture of a runaway horse and
preventing a serious accident. He did it
at the expence of great pain to himself
as his injured hip still bothers him con-
~siderably.
DR.. Valentine drives a very spirited
horse. He was speeding a long the
Boulevard yesterday afternoon, when at
the corner of Stuyvesant avenue, the
horse reared and kicked, threading to
oyerturn the buggy. DR.. Valentine with
difficulty managed to retain possession of
the lines. In its struggles the horse got
its right hind foot over the shaft. This
frenzied it and it went tearing down the
Boulevard on three feet while it's i'm
prisoned member continued to kick at
the dash board and threatened each
moment to upset the buggy and injure its
occupant, who retained his self possession
and vainly endeavored to regain the
mastery.
Patrolman Milburn saw the accident
from a distance and FASTENED to the
scene. His intelligent horse needed no
urging to get in it's best work. It was
soon abreast of the runaway. Little by
ntsle Milpurn.s beast edged up to the
lnfurlated and struggling animal until the
patrolman was within reach of the bride
rein. Milburn seized the bride and
tugged hard at 1t, but the runaway would
notstop. Milburn, never needing the fact
that his injured hip was being pounded
repeatly against the .fianks Of the run
away, held on for nearly a block and
nnaily brought the runaway to a halt.
Then he dismounted and released the
Imprisoned foot.
HI harness and wagon were damaged.
put luckily DR.. Vanentine escaped injury.
HE was profuse in his thanks to Milburn
who accepted his words of praise with
becoming modesty.
