1000 ARMY HORSES STAMPEDED.
Run for Miles From scene OF the British
ManRuNres.

.SDeclW CdOe DsSpueH SUS
LONDON, Sept. A strange incident
has marked the British army manouvres
that are now proceeding in the south Of
England. Between and O'Clock this
morning a veterinary at the Southampton
camp went to the horse pickets to shoot
an animal whose leg had been broken.
The sound Of the shot stampeded thou
sand cavalry horses, which galloped madly
in various directions, some going through
Winchester, twelve miles distant. Two
hundred dashed seward and plunged into
the water by the harbor.
The maddened brutes dashed themselves
against masonry and plunged through
barbed wire fences. Some hundred OF
them are still missing, Miraculously, al
most, no men in the camp were killed, but
several were injured, one Of them seri-
ously.
A majority OF the horses recovered are
probably useless. Many were found eI-
hausted by the roadside. Others were
so frightfully injured that they had to be
killed

PATERSON. n. j., Sept. 4.-Patrick Lucy
and Bernard Kane Of Brooklyn came to
this city to-day for the purpose Of having
arrested David Wilson, . former member
OF the Paterson Ribbon Ticker Company.
They made complaint before Justice Cohen
on them bearing the forged signature Of his
father, a retired coal dealer Of Paterson.
The complaint could not be entertained,
as Wilson's operations occurred outside
Of this State. Lucy and Kane returned
TO Brooklyn, saying they would make oom-
plsint there.
Wilson has left his home and cannot be
found. He has a wife and three small
children. His father refused to-day to
make good the $50 represented by the
checks held by the two Brooklyn men and
advised them to have his son arrested.
The checks were drawn on the Citizens
Trust Company OF this city.
Young Wilson is college bred, but his
father has been unable to keep him at any
business. He has written several short
stories and other articles for magazines.
