How Mr.. Pages Runaway Horse Was
Stopped.

Charles Page, Jr.'s horse ran away
with light sleigh on Benefit street,
starting from College street about 4.3O
O'Clock Sunday afternoon. The horse
ran down Benefit 10 India street and
went between two long lines OF freight
cars. When the horse first went between
the cars there was sufficient room to run
without any harm to the animal or
sleigh, but the nearer he came to the end,
the closer the cars were situated, and
when within few feet OF the end, the
cars were less than two feet apart. and
less than 80 feet from the river.
The frightened animal was found
wedged IN between the cars. aud it took
an hour or more TO get him out.
The horse was purchased by Mr.. Page
from the Bloodgood estate. and was
valued ut $1,000, but is now practically
worthless. The sleigh was q wreck.
