SAVED THE HORSES LIFE.
On account Of the thoughtfulness OF
Mr.. T.. b. Palmer. conductor on the
Perry-street car-line, a horse belonging
to Mr.. Thompkins was saved yesterday
from almost instant death. The horse
was hooked to buggy, and when first
seen by the conductor was coming at
break-neck speed down the other track
of the line, and almost on the brink Of
the trestle near the park. He instantly
saw the danger and with great presence
OF mind also OWNED the only means by
which the horses life could be saved.
SO while his car was still in motion, he
jumped down and ran ahead, and though
he could not stop the animal, he fright
ened 1t from the track to the woods.
In turning away from the car-tracks, the
wheels of the buggy barely missed the
ravine. A pine tree on the roadside and
the vehicle were soon I'm close embrace
and the horse was brought to a stand
The conductor then caught the animals
bride, and at this time the negro driver
was seen coming over the hill with his
hat In hand and painting from his chase
The horse was uninjured, and only slight
damage was done to the vehicle. The
negro driver was very profrse in his
thanks. and said his charge had broken
from him.
