MACHINIST STOPS HORSE
AT RISK OF HIS LIFE
Eyewitnesses Declare His Act One of
Great Heroism.

A runaway horse came near causing
the death OF several persons last even
ing. and but for the presence Of mind OF
a young man. who proved to be Angus
tus Miller. a machinist, living at AZ
Seventh Street southwest, serious con
sequences would have undoubtedly re-
suited.
The horse was attached TO n two seat
carriage in which were an old lady
and two children. It mad become
frightended and was dashing down 1
Street, between Sixth and Seventh Streets
northwest. with the reins dragging on
the ground when Mr.. Miller ran into
the street. threw little child out Of
the path of the frightened animal. and
grasped the bride
Eyewitnesses say that Mr.. Miller was
thrown heavily to the ground several
times. but maintained his hold on the
bride. and finally stopped the horse
When he had quoted the animal he
gave the reins to the woman and left
refusing TO give his name.
The name was learned afterward. how
ever. by interested persons. who declare
it was enc of the most consummate
acts of herOism ever seen. The names
of the occupants Of the carriage are
not known.
