HAD A MARROW ESCAPE.
Herbert Windig Nearly Trampled "a
Death,

Herbert Windig, Of Cross street, had
a very narrow escape yesterday after
noon at about 3 o'clock from being
trampled underneath the hoofs Of a
team Of horses.
Windig was crossing Franklin ave.
nue. near the intersection Of Centre
street and was conversing with a
friend who walked with him. The
team Of horses was attached to a cab
and was being driven rather recklessly
by the cab man. Windig was so en-
crossed with his conversation that he
did not hear the cab and almost be-
fore he knew 1t he was knocked down
by the horses and lay for a moment
directly under their feet.
With rare presence Of mind, how.
ever. he clutched the lower portion Of
the harness and succeeded in raising
himself from the ground. The horses
in the meantime were plunging wildly
and the terrified spectators expected
every moment to see his brains dashed
out. He pluckily held on, however.
and managed to quickly pull himself
to half standing position out of dam
ger.
He was uninjured except for a few
bruises, but his clothes were about az
completely ruined as they possibly
could be. his overcoat being ripped
from bottom to top in two places.
