There was no end or excitement at the
corner OF Westminster and Harkness
streets. at about o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. and that some one was not
killed was something wonderful
A yourg man was driving a spirited
horse attached TO a light carriage and
was leading by long halter young
green horse. which was also spirited. At
the place above mentioned the horse that
was being led. became frisl<y, and reared
up and when IL come down both OF his
forward feet landed In the rear OF the
carriage and he began to plunge and tear
about and In so doing upset the car
11age This threw the driver on top OF
the horse that he was driving which had
also fallen TO the ground.
The first man 10 60 TO the rescue OF
the young man was John c. Budlong,
the veteran letter. carrier OF the local
Office, who jumped for the head OF the
horse that was attached 10 the carriage.
Both OF the animals at this time were
down and were paving at a furious rate.
The one that was being led was the first
TO get upon it's feet and IL jumped com
pletely over the carriage. the other horse
and the two men who were upon him.
The flying steed in jumping just cleared
the mixup. but not an inch too much for
Mr. Budlong's hat was Knocked on by
one OF the horses hind feet.
BY this time there were hundreds OF
people gathered about the scene, and
they succeeded In holding the driving
horse down. The other horse ran through
Hardness street and was soon out OF
sisht.
The man in charge would speak TO no
one. and did not even thank Mr. Budlong
for his heroic act, but the crowd did.
for few men would care TO take the
chances that Mr.. Budlong did.
The driver was not very much injured.
though the wagon was pretty we'll
smashed, but not so badly that the fel-
low got in and drove off
