SAVED A CHILD.
Had II not been for the heroic act OF
Thomas II. Bride. the bookkeeper at the
branch OF the Union Trust company. Jo-
seph the 2lh- year old son of MIR. and Mrs.
Michael Farrell of 81 Oak street would
have been trampled to death yeSerday
The little one had wandered away from
home and a search was being made Tor
him. He was crossing the street from
opposite the bank TO the east side or
Manton avenue. when he was knocked
down by one of the leaders OF a FOUR
horse team. and none who saw the acci-
dent ever expected TO see the little fei-
low come out alive.
Mr. Bride was among those that shout
ed to the driver, who was perched up on
q high seat and was not aware of the
fact that he had knocked the child down.
The horse that struck the child walked
over its body, and by this time Mr..
Bride unmindful for his wearing apparel
or personal safety fell fiat upon the
ground and as soon as the body OF the
child had been passed over by the horse,
he grabbed him. but not second too soon
for the safety OF the child or himself. as
the horses were walking fast and were
close upon them.
BY this time the driver knew that
team.
The child was taken in 10 the bank by
Mr.. Bride and DR.. T.. c. Murphy who
happened along went In expecting 10
find that the child was either dead or so
mangled that II would die. All were
pleased to find that II had only received
a slight scalp wound. The child was then
taken 10 the Tompson Fish market
where II had relative and was from
their taken home by its father.
Mr.. Bride was the hero OF the hour and
all commented upon his noble act for had
IL not been for him one OF the wheel
horses would have surely stepped upon
the child.
