horses attached 10 a lumber reach proved
himself to be but little less than a hero
yesterday.
When about midway of the square his
horses became frightened and as he had
but little room for seat and no place TO
brace his feet the horses were soon be-

and by sheer force managed TO guide the
runaways through the square without
coming in contact with any object, and
headed them up Broadway 10 Harris ave-
nue.. where he practically had the street
20 himself.
When near the Grove street crossing he
managed TO pull the horses down and be-
fore the team was out of sight the large
crowd that stood along the route saw
that he had succeeded in getting the ami
mails down TO a walk.
The scene at first was one of the most
exciting witnessed in the square for many
