90 the last notch and the big car dashed
up the hill in pursuit Of the runaway. The
frightened horse was passed near tho top
OF the hill. AS soon as he had passed
the animal Capron stopped his car, sprsng

As the horse came up he made a spring
for it's head got a grip on the bit and
after being dragged some distance sue

the horse or the buggy 10 which II was
attached was injured.
The OUTFIT was turned over to Patrolman
