A Young Mans Hcroism Saved the
Life of Child.

Litc OF CntIu.
Bolton, Texas, July 23.--yesterday a
horse attached to delivery started on
East avenue two blocks from the public
square, running at a great speed: In the
wagon was the little son of Clarence
Walkin, or years old; when the horse
had nearly crossed the square young
man, Ed Coltcn. seeing the danger of the
little boy rushed out and caught the horse
and finally stopped him, doubtless saving
the life of the boy. 1t was daring and
heroic deed Tor the horse was very large
and the wagon heavy and his life might
have paid the forfeit OF a MISS step.
