Patrolman Mccormack Comes to
the Rescue on City Hall
Lawn.
HORSE THROWN TO GROUND.
Narrow Escape for Mrs. ". b. Lee,
Who Was the Only Occu-
pant of the Car
riage.

Prompt action by Patrolnan Thomas Nc
Cormack, who fearlessly threw himself in
front Of a team of runaway horses yes
terday afternoon, doubtless prevented Mrs.
William H. Lee, wife Of the president Of
the Merchants-Laclede Bank, from sustain
Ing serious injury.
Mccormack, by a display OF remarkable
strength, succeeded In stopping the mad
dened animals, after the driver, E W. Bu-
bach, had driven them onto the lawn in
collision with the street cars and vehicles
that thronged Market street.
One of the horses had fallen, and as the
Der was rearing and plunging, It required
considerable nerve to brave the flying, iron
shod hoofs which struck wickedly in all
directions.
The vehicle in which Mrs. Lee was seated
was momentarilly in danger of being over
turned. Mccormack managed to prevent
this catastrophe and while the policeman
restrained the frightened horses a by
stander opened the door of the carriage and
liberated Mrs. Lee from her perilous situa-
ton.
Mrs. Lee was on her way downtown
when the accident occurred. While passing
the corner Oh LOCUST anu IWelIln StreetS,
shortly after l o'clock, the horses became
frightened at a steam hosting machine.
DRIVER WAS POwERLES.
The driver die everything IN his power
to check the crazed animals but they sue
ceeded IN getting the bits between their
teeth and tore down the wide thoroughfare
toward Market street at rapid rate of
speed.
The vehicle sped past Olive and Pine
streets with lightning rapidly. and by the
time the runaway team reached Chestnut
street the horses had everything their own
Agay and were leaping forward with long.
powerful strides that threatened the oc-
cupant Of the carriage with destruction.
When nearing Market street. Bubach
heard the warning cleng OF the street-car
gongs, and realizing that should the horses
turn either east or west on Market street
serlcus accident would certainly result.
he guided the animals onto the City Hall
lawn.
When N-s. Lee saw that the carriage was
headed for the curling, she realized that
when the swiftly moving vehicle reached the
abrupt ascent there would be correspond
ingly severe shock.
She accordingly braced herself by placing
her head against the soft cushion on the
seat in front OF her, and was little inccn-
venienced by the sudden jerk. that almost
unseate6 the driver.
