the Main street fish dealer, got fright
ened early Friday forenoon and figured
in a lively runaway. The horse bolted
along Main. in the direction of Bridge
street. Mr.. W. G. Gagne stood in the
middle of the street and made a plucky
attempt to stop the horse. He succeeded
in catching a hold of the harness and
steeTed the horse in the direction of the
sidewalk. He could not retain the hold
on the harness and the horse continued
on his mad run, aiming directly toward
the Presumpseot hotel door. The big
tree in front of the hotel prevented the
horse from going through the hotel win
dow, and In a second the horse had fallen
to tha ground. Two young men stand
ing in a store nearby made a quick leap
to the spot and pouneing on the horse
prevented the animal from arising and
continuing the race. The harness was
quite badly broken and the horse was
scratched and bruised in several places.
