CLLNG.S TO RUNA WAY TEAM.
POLICEMAN STEERS HORSES, WHICH
HAD RUN DOWN A CAB IN CEN
TRIAL PARK WEST, INTO A
LUMBER PILE.

Rearing and plunging like Western broncos.
a team Of big bay horses attached to double
truck loaded with trunks, dashed down Central
Park West last evening for nearly three-quar-
ters of a mile, causing terror-stricken pedes-
trians to flee. But for Policeman Frank Wander
pool. of the bicycle squad, the maddened ami
mails would have injured many persons and
caused considerable destruction to property.
John Kengergern. the driver. Of No. 1.OI9 ST.
Marks-ave. Brooklyn, had left the team stand
ing in front OF house at One-hundred-and-
ninth-st and Central Park West while he was
delivering a trunk there. He had been in the
house only short time when the team became
frightened. and started on their wild gallop.
With their heads high in the air. the animals
gripped the bits between their teeth and dashed
down Central Park West. Motormen Of cars
that were speeding al ng came to standstlll
and passengers stood up in their seats and held
their breath while the team dashed by within
few inches of the cars. At Ninety -third-st John
Brooks twenty-eight years old, of No 626 Sew
epth-ave. was driving a hanson cab. He
chanced 10 turn around hearing shouts from all
sides but before he had time TO swerve his morse
out OF the way one Of the hubs of the truck
struck the hub OF one of its wheels. and the cab
was sent crashing its side TO the curb. Brooks
was buried under the cab but when he was
picked UP by several passersby it was found
that he was not seriously injured
The team continued down Central Park
West. At Ninety-second-st. Policeman Van
derpool deserted his bicycle and as the team
came dashing by. he reached out and grabbed
hold OF OF the brides. He was jerked from
his feet but Re still clung and tugged at the
lines 10 bring the horses TO stop. Despite his
efforts the horses dashed on.
At Ninety -frst-st and Central Park West
there are number OF apartment houses being
erected. and on the street and sidewalk are piled
quantities OF lumber. ceveral heavy beams were
raised on the walk about three feet. and the
policeman. seeing the incline, tugged at the
bride and managed TO steer the horses straight
for the beams. II his only chance, and
when within a few feet from the buildings the
horses swerved 10 the right and dashed up on
the lumber The momentum OF the truck was
too great, however, TO bring the horses 10 sud
den stop. and the pole OF the truck was driven
through a watchman's shanty that adjoined the
lumber pile.
Both horses became entangled in the wreck
age or the shanty, which demolished. The
animals kicked to get free. The policeman who
had held on to the bride. not once letting go his
hold. escaped injury. After considerable trouble
the horses were extricated from the wreck,
