A BRAVE. ACT

A runaway team came rushing up State street at Edwards street last evening at about 7:15 o'clock and was attached to wagon laden with fruit in baskets. As the horse passed from Ed wards to Bishop streets several chil- dren narrowly escaped being run over by the frightened animal. As the horse passed Bishop street James Cannon, proprietor of the fruit and newspaper store at the corner of State street and Hine Place, darted after the runaway and after rapid run seized the bridle of the horse and stopped the animal
 The daring act was most cleverly and skilfully done and received enthusiastic applause from the ladies and other spectators in a passing street car who had witnessed the runaway and Mr.
 Cannon's timely act. The horse being brought to standstill, crowd of ur- chins at once appeared and surround ing the wagon and began sampling the apples with shouts and,yells of joy.
