Dashes Through the Streets ON q B0r
rOwed Horse.

rOwed Horse.
An insane soldier Of St. Elizabeth's Asy-
lum, whose name was stated to be Morris
or Morrisey, about twenty-five years OF
age, escaped from there yesterday fore
noon. and after being at large some time
took possession Of horse which he came
upon unguarded and made spectacular
but unsuccessful bareback ride for free
dom. He was overcome and taken into
custody after a desperate struggle by two
residents Of Congress Heights. who re-
turned him to the institution from which
he had escaped.
The owner of the horse is stated to be
man named John Ridgeway, who Is in bust
ness at the corner of I'd and II streets
northeast. Yesterday Mr.. Ridgeway drove
over to Congress Heights in a light vehicle,
with the intention of trying the fishing IN
the river at the ST. Elizabeth's trestle, be-
yond Wilson Park and not far from the
heights. He drove through the woods, and
after unhitching his horse tied the animal
In the shade Of a large tree. He then went
to the trestlework to prepare his fishing
tackle. He was subsequently notified OF
the occurrence by some young men of Con-
gress Heights. 1t was evident to the in
formants, who had heard the beat of the
animals hoofs, that 1t was going at ter
rife pace. and the next moment Ridgeways
white man In a soldiers uniform and cam
paign hat. He carried in one hand stick
about five feet in length. and as he swept
out the curve onto Nichols avenue he leaned
and threw his body entirely on one side of
the horse and went through other evolu-
lions of the skilled rider of the west. He
dashed down Nichols avenue nearly as far
as Anacostia, when he wheeled and rode
back again, with the evident intention Of
going into the country.
Numbers of people saw the wild rider, but
no one interfered with him until he reached
Congress Heights the second time. Then
Burton White, a weH-known resident in
tercepted him. having obtained information
OF the mans identity. Mr.. White took him
by surprise and managed to get a firm
grasp on him. The patient, we'll built and
strong. resisted still retaining his hold on
the halter Of the horse, but assistance came
to Mr.. White and the insane man was SUBJ
dued. He finally consented to return to the
asylum, but after his captors had started
to escort him there he began to resist once
more. He was overcome, however, by the
two men and was safely taken to the in
stitution.

The attention of the Commissioners was
invited by Capt Newcomer. assistant to
