What might have proved a
serious runaway accident hap
pened to Mr.. Closner and Miss
Demere last Wednesday afternoon
while out driving behind Mr. Clos
ner's ''San Antonio" horse. While
going at rapid rate a few blocks
above the Court House square some
part of the harness gave way and
the horse became unmanageable.
With rare presence of mind Mr.
Closner reached down and unfasten-
ed the traces, allowing the animal
to 60 free. Such was the momentus
of the buggy that, when the vehicle
so suddenly stopped, it tipped over,
throwing the occupants out. Fort
unately, neither of them were in
jured. The horse, after running
mile or two and jumping a wire
fence, was finally caught; the bug
gy was almost recked.-Hidalgo

WORK OF FIRE WARDENS.
Supt. Fox Thinks the Forestry Law Is
Admirably Drawn.

ALBANY, June l8.-Col. William F. Fox.
the Superintendent Of State Forests, thinks
that the State and private owners Of Adiron-
dack camps and cottages have been FORUM
ate In the small losses sustained by the
forest fires.
He said to-day that he thought that the
Forestry law Of the State, 30 far as 1t re-
lates to the methods for the prevention
or suppression Of forest fires, is admirably
drawn and we'll adapted to the various
requirements which 1t is designed to meet
The New York law provides for the ap-
pointment OF fire warden in each town,
who in turn divides the town into districts
and appoints district fire warden in each.
They have the power In case Of forest
Are to call out citizens, who are required
by law to go promptly to the place Of danger
and work until the fire is out. Any citizen
who, upon being ordered out to fight fire,
refuses to comply may 1e arrested and
fined.
Col. Fox says that In every town where
there was a fire, without exception, the
town Are warden, his deputies and posse
OF men we're promptly at work as soon as
the first smoke appeared.
The fire law OF the State might be i'm
proved by providing that the railroads
In the Adirondack Park burn petroleum
and that a sufficient number OF patrols
be employed to prevent the fires caused by
fishermen and farmers.
