FINE hoRsEMANsHlP
Made Horse Stand ON Hind Legs to
Let Car Pass.


Let Car Pass.
A very thrilling exhibition of superb
horscmanship and brute sagacity was
witnessed on the BrightwOOd road
near Washington. A young farmer
from Montgomery county was driving
home from the city, the horse attached
to his buggy being a magnificent anil
NAL, about three years old. When
about opposite the car sheds at Bright
wood one of the old wornout cars
came down the track and reached the
spot at the same time. There was q
fiat wheel attached to the car and 1t
made almost as much noise as n loco
motive, added to which was the hum
ming of the motor. The fine young
thoroughbred pranced and paved the
earth as the car approached, but re-
fused to advance.
Just at the instant the car was
passing the driving outfit the now
thoroughly frightened animal wheeled
around OH the track and directly in
front Of the car. At the same instant
the horse made dash for the track
the young man handling the reins gave
a mighty pull on the reins and almost
instantly drew the frightened animal
UP Ou lCESs hCAC hC
stood paving the air, not more than
foot from the car, and in that posi-
ton he remained until the grinding
conveyance. crowded with shrieking
women and astonished men, swept by.
During these thrilling seconds the
driver in the buggy kept his seat. and
in the most matter-of-fact way allow
ed the horse to place his forefeet upon
the earth when all danger was past.
Had the driver wavered for an in.
stant and allowed the animal to be
hit by the car. it would have thrown
the magnificent brute off his hind legs
and undoubtedly smashed the buggy
and more probably killed the horse.
An assistant Chief of the Fire De-
partment and several of the men at
tached to the Brightwood Engine
House witnessed the incident, and
were loud in the praise of both driver
and animal. Several Of the passengers
in the front of the car were badly
scared as they realized the Importance
of the horse staying in the air and
not descending upon them with his
forefeet.
