STOPPED RUNAWAY HORSE.
Policeman Prevents Serious Acct
dent

BY presence of mind of Policeman J. S.
Miller of the ninth precinct station this
afternoon in stopping a runaway horse
death or serious injury TO four small chill
dren was prevented When the flying horse
was brought to stop, while a large crowd
of people, with their hearts in their mouths
looked on, there murmur of applause
and then all rushed up to the officer to
thank him for the brave rescue.
The horse of John Hurley OF HyattSville,
Md. was being driven into the city this
afternoon by twelve ear-old Henry Thomp-
son, with three smaller children in the car
riage, when the horse became frightened
near the corner of ith and + streets
Officer Miller standing al the corner
of 4th and f streets, when he saw the dash
up the street and saw the imminent danger
that threatened the young occupants of the
wagon. He sprang toward the rig and
managed 10 jump into the back of the
wagon. Climbing over the seat in hurry
he grasped the reins and then began to
climb forward over the horse. In few
moments the horse realized that stronger
hand was on him and he soon slackened
his speed and was brought to stop. Not
one of the children was hurt and the officer
came out of the experience with only few
scratches.

PERILS OF ARIZONA DESERT.
Men Wandering Around Crazed by
Want of Water.

From the Arizona Republican.
Con Harrington came tn town yesterday
morning and Informed the authorities of
two men whom he had seen near the cross
ing of the old Mcdowell and the Camp
Creek roads the day before He was at
tracted by their peculiar actions. and. hay
ing watched them for some time decided
that they We're locoed and were burrowing
in the sand for water.
As he approached one of them ran away
and disappeared In the brush. Mr. Har-
| rlnSton found the other man almost crazed
Tor want of water. MIR Harrington relieved
him from his canteen and brought him
around so that he could travel. He gave
him directions where to go. and having
looked around for a short time for the
other man without seeing anything more
OF him, came on to Phoenix. In his opinion
the other man is beyond relief.
william Black came In yesterday morning
from his mining camp a few miles from
Nlckenbufg. He said that a day or two
ago a stranger came To his camp early I'm
the morning. He had been drinking heavily
and was horribly nervous. RE was so near
~ gone for lack of water that at first h,,
was unable to talk. Later. having drunk
cautiously and having had his breakfast,
he said that he Was going across the couu-
try toward Yuma He fingered about the
camp for short time and then started on
MS JOuIHeA- MT Black Sifd mat the
chances were many to one that he would
never again be seen alive.
The other night when Deputy Sheriff
Cunningham was on his way to Goldhed
he came late at night on two men campcd
by the roadside. They asked for water
They said they had left Mesa along In the
afternoon and took with them only what
water they could carry in a five pound la I'd
pail. They had long since drunk all OF that
and were now very thirsty and felt too
weak to travel. Mr.. Cunningham gave them
what they could drink and allowed them
to fill their bucket. They resumed their
journey. If they had waited until morning
and then set out in the brniling sun with
out water they would have reached no
where.
A good many inexperienced travellers OF
the desert have misunderstood the roseate
reports brought in by cowmen ard others
of the condition of the country. 1t is care
lessly stated that there is feed and water
everywhere" That is true within the cow
mans meaning, which Is that there is wa
ter everywhere that any ever existed be-
fore; that is. in all springs and water holes.
But at best for man on foot these water
stations far apart. and even though
they might be near. the inexperienced trav-
eler would not know where to find them.

Lo, the Poor Millionaire.

From the Boston Herald.
Bernard Shaw has been looking into the
case of the poor millionaire, and he finds
1t really pathetic. Looking over the adver-
tisements of the manufacturers he finds
that everything is produced for the million.

wholesale. That there are societies for the
relief of all sorts of comparatively happy
people, from discharged prisoners in the
first rapture of their regained liberty to
children reyeling in the luxury of unlim-

to the millionaire except to beg" While
he can have the best in the market. he is
no better off than the possessor of mod

thing that he can order on a scale of spe-
cial expensive pomp is his funeral.

How Mark Twain Saved.

Mark Twain in his earlier days did not

his career. In a conversation with Villain
Dean Howells on one occasion the subject
of literature vicissitudes was preached by
the humorist.
MY difficulties taught me some thrift"
he observed. But 1 never knew whether
II was wiser to spend my last nickel for a
cigar to smoke for an apple to devour.'
II am astounded," observed Mr.. Howells,
that a person of so little decision should
meet with so much worldly success"
Mark Twain nodded very gravely

said. lis worthy of cultivation. When 1
couldn't decide what to buy with my last

The Pace That Kills.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
The microbe of hurry. hurry. useless
hurry is in the air: so much so. in fact,
that it Is almost impossible for a city
dweller no matter how well balanced he
may be. not to become inoculated with It..
Wine, women and song are not the only
influences that go to make up the pace
that kills" The average life of the business
man or the society woman hurries people
to catastrophe fast as does that of the
FOUNDER or 'dissipate.
Did you ever do anything on this order
rush your meals, rush your play, make q
fool of yourself running half block for
a car already crowded to the guards? You
plead guilty. do you? Then you are going
a pace that kills just surely as the more
widely heralded pace.
