HORSE TRIED TO KILL HIM.
Runaway's Deliberate Attack on q Man
Who Stopped It-Likely to die.

George Lane Of 101 Leonard street, Will
liamsburg, while trying to stop a runaway
horse yesterday afternoon, after he had
saved number of children from being
trampled on, was probably mortaly in
iured. The horse belonged to Newman
Bros. horse dealers at Harrison avenue
and Rutledge street, and was sent out in
charge of boy to be exercised.
The boy was warned not to ride the
horse. At jackson and Union avenues
he got on its back. The horse threw the
boy to the pavement and ran along
Johnson avenue.
At Lorimer street it knocked down three
men and woman who were coming out
Of house. A crowd started in pursuit
OF the horse, which ran onto the sidewalk.
At Montrose avenue and Lorimer street
1t bowled over several children.
AS the horse was tearing down Mont
rose avenue toward Union avenue, a
number of children who were crossing
day school were seen by Lane. He
shouted to them to get out of the way
but three youngsters seemed too frightened
TO move. He ran toward them, and
throwing his arms around them carried
them safely to the sidewalk.
The horse dashed past, followed by a
large crowd, with Bicycle Policeman Pas

Union avenue to Broadway and up to
McKibben street, where it dashed into
another crowd and knocked several men
down. The horse kept on, turning into
Leonard street and back to Montrose ave-
nue.. While going down the latter thor
oughfare, a crowd OF boys with sticks and
stones ran toward the horse from the di-
rection Of Union avenue and the animal
turned and ran along the sidewalk
Lane, who was in front of 70 Montrose
avenue, caught the horse by It's name.
The animal swung around, and after
knocking him down it seemed to deiber-
ately trample him He became insen-
sible and the horse, running back to the
roadway, was surrounded by crowd OF
Its pursuers.
1t broke through them and ran TO Lor-

car. The motorman leaped over the dash
board and held the horse down until as

HOW THE HON. WILLIAM HErs HONOR WAS SATISFIED

b. contrasted with the present, the diameter
OF life cycles may be computed, and by
counting the stairs Of achievement one
be creased,
1t may entertain the reader to take him
away from the dusty campaign in New York
on little journey to the early home of the
Hon. William Hep, whose life, begun hum
bly, in the West, seems now to be rounding
to it's golden fulness. He is chairman Of
the executive committee Of the Greater
New York Democracy. On the word Of the
Hon. John G. Sheehan he is a sound man,
aye, even to the bass pedal. When Mr..
Sheehan and Jacob A. Cantor organized
their party there was demand for reso-
nant, six syllabled three worded name.
Then it was that the Hon. William Hep
burst upon New York politics.
Hannibal, a prosperous Missouri town,
lies hard by thu vest bank Of the Mississippi.
Il is in Marion county, but close to Pike
county. which gave to fame the citizen who
framed the original expression. 'I'm from
Missouri. You've got to show me-" After
that motto had been taken up by most Of
tho people of the State an eastward move
ment started among other residents. In
New York. according to Missouri opinion,
you don't have to show much.
At the time Of this narrative Hannibal
had two newspapers, the Hannibal Clipper
and the Hannibal Journal! The Hon.
William Hep, then known simply as Hep
Russell, was the editor Of the Clipper. Jim
Hayward was the editor Of the Journal.
Naturally they fell to controversy, for if
It serves no other purposes it sometimes
