r. T.. McDonough, of Pike street, and
attached to one of his grocery wagons.
disturbed the quiet of Main street yes
terday afternoon, and caused quite a
Commotion while the exciting incident
lasted.
The horse took fright on upper Main
street and tore down the avenue at a
wild pace, dragging the wagon from
one side of the street to the other,
chasing To retreats of safety pedestri-
ans who feared that the animal in his
wild night might turn on the sidewalk
and run them down.
Midway in the block between sixth
and Seventh avenues. the light wagon
that was being carried along like "a
toy express cart bumped up against a
coal wagon with a bump that shook
every fastening in it's light framework.
Tho stout coal wagon sent it's weaker
brother i'm the air hut it came down
squarely. only to get second bump
an instant later against telegraph
pole in front of Mesen's saloon. The
force of this collision overturned the
wagon and somewhat checked the
speed of the sOrrrl runaway, which
continued, however. with the baN OF
the wagon sliding along the pavement,
the wheels i'm the air.
At seventh avenue, two men, Patrick
Eldnncry and John Wilson Ventured
close to tho struggling horse, which
was i'm u fearful miX-up i'm the loosen
ing harness. They succeeded i'm stop
ping the runaway but it was greater
task 10 free the kicking colt from the
harness which was tangled about the
hind logs in every conceivable twist.
After heap of pulling and Juggling
pnd excited orders and counter orders
from the heroes of the happening, the
painting horse was freed. Then ii was
that the real hero of the occasion,
Frank Mcdonald. was given a chance
to win the plaudits of the Interested
OnlOokerS. The colt was in the humOr
uf giving another wild exhibition and
started to make matters lively in its
attempt to make for the Pike. where
il gets its daily oats and hay. But
Mcdonald stuck like sticky flN-paper,
until you could hear the spectators eX-
claim. That's grit for YOU" and Mr..
colt gave up the struggle and put off
his supper hour for another while.
The wagon seat was broken and
scattered along the roadway, and
there are parts that will need the
wagon reparers' attention.
The horse took fright by being struck
with a board that fell from the wagon
while ii was being unloaded.
