aways said TO a Sun reporter:
4 was IN one OF the biggest retail
houses on Sixth avenue, shopping. when
| the salesman. to my establishment
asked me If the runaway of few min
nfes previous had done any damage
I asked him how he knew there was
n runaway. He said he heard it and
that he saw II. And when questioned
| him he told me he had missed max
| ing a sale in order TO see the runaway
and said It was the first one he had
seen since he had come TO New York
Il seemed to timber him up. He kept
talking about it as long as I traded
and said. as was leaving, he supposed
it would be in the papers
and the runaway item has a good
show for place, generally speaking

that il rarely has a genesis. The mar
who first tells Of II. the policeman WHIT
makes a report Of it and the reporter
who writes it seldom enlighten thu
reader as TO the cause of the runaway
The paragraph usually says that thu
horse started from a certain point
but not often does it tell what started
him. This is not the reporters fault
He simply doesn't know. Nobody
