NARRoWLY ESCAPED.
Driver Of Express Wagon Heroically
Prevents q Collision.


A runaway team created a thrilling scene
on Pennsylvania avenue In trent OF The

ward on Pennsylvania avenue in q leisureiy
manner, when at the corner of 18th street
a strong wind descended with considerable
force, striking the wagon and reboundfng,
carrying the large cover of the wagon sky
ward with It, After going up in the air
about fifty feet the heavy cover OF the We
hicle descended to the concreted roadway
with a loud crash.
The two horses, badly frightened, dashed
forward, and the reins, which had been at
tached to the roof of the wagon, fell to the
roadway. Policeman Frank Emmert. who
is stationed at the corner mentioned, EN-
deavored to stop the team, but failed. Com
ing along the avenue, going east, was Dig
sightseeing automobile, filled with passen-
gers. The rushing team was heading FOR
the big vehicle when Driver Mitchell brave
ly sprang out upon the pole between the
horses and succeeded in throwing one of
the animals and stopping the runaway when
Ii was within less than five feet of the
crowded automobile.
Pedestrians on Pennsylvania avenue, who
had been looking on in awe for what SEEM
ed to be an inevitable collision between the
express wagon and big auto, applauded
vehicle were loud in their praises of the
courageous act which perhaps saved some
of their lives or limbs. Mitchell resides at

colored citizens should render special thanks
for freedom, and should try to live godly
lives They should pay special attention to
the instructions and timely remarks made
by Prof. Booker T. Washington, the great
educator of industrialism, in his recent
speech in Alabama. Let US show to him."
he said, that we heartily appreciate his ad-
vice and the great work he has done and Is
doing for our race"

address to about one thousand colored boys
who are making preparation to take part
in the Inauguration of President Roosevelt

selves like men"
