POLICEMAN IS HERO
Battles With Runaway Horse Until
He Subdues It and Saves Wo-

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Imperiling
the 6 O'Clock throngs in Broadway and
threatening momentarily to hurl to
death the woman who occupied the
hanson to which 1t was attached.
runaway horse last night caused wild
excitement and panic in the vicinity
of Longacre square. That many per-
sons were not seriously injured was
due alone to Policeman Meyer, of the
traffic squad, who at the risk of his
life clung to the infuriated animals
nose after the bride, which he had
grasped, broke, and brought the beast
to a halt after battle lasting for two
blocks. He was applauded by thous-
ands who witnessed the rescue.
Driven by Thomas Madden, of 623
Tenth avenue, and owned by the livery
establishment of Joseph Daley, in East
Fifty-Second street, the horse took
fright at Fifty-second street and
Broadway. In the cab at the time
was a woman, her name unknown
save for her initials tx. T. r." on suit
case she had with her. With the driver
clinging with both hands to the roof
of the cab, with the woman inside
hanging to the doors and crying for
help, with reins trailing on the ground
and hanson careening from curb to
curb, the animal sped on, dashing in
and out between automobiles, car
riages and cars and driving pedestrians
in fright hurredly to the sidewalks.
Longacre square at the time was
jammed with vehicles. From a distance
Policeman Meyer, of the traffic squad,
saw the horse coming. Crying for all
to get out of dangers way, he planted
himself squarely in the path of the on
coming steed When it's breath was up
on him he threw himself at the horse
with all his strength. He grasped the
bride, and when it broke seized the
animals nose with both hands, and
after a desperate struggle brought the
horse to stop.
Without word of thanks to the man
who had saved her life, the woman ran
to hanson close by, got in, and with
a cry to the driver, Five dollars If
you get me away from this notoriety at
once" she disappeared around the cor
ner of Forty-fourth street, while the
policeman. unheeding the cheers of the
crowd, returned quietly TO his post of

PORT JARVIS, N. Y, Nov. H.
George Nearing and Samuel Degraw,

haunt of bruin. The pen was COM
pleted Friday and the hunters were
vending their leisurely way home when
they heard a racket in a tree.
In the top of a large beech were an
old bear and two cubs. The surprised
hunters were somewhat "rattled" at
first. but recovering their wits pro-

only with axes. The work of chopping
had not progressed far before the old
bear becoming nervous, decided to
reach the ground. In doing this she
fell, striking Degraw on the back
The cubs followed the parent bear
and there was a mix-up of bears and
men. Nearing buried the blade of his
AK in the head of one of the cubs. De-
graw regained his feet and as the old
bear put up a good fight the two men
retreated. They made a record fight
through the woods and later returned
with lanterns and found one of the
cubs dead The other two bears had

NEW YORK, Nov. lit is not
known how long Jack" and "Tabby"
kept watch over the baby. 1t is GER
tain, however, that the vigil was not
relaxed until more skillful hands took
charge of beautiful boy about four
hours old, who was found early yes
terday morning in the hallway of the
house at No. 632 East Sixteenth street.
Tenants heard Jack, the fox terrier
mascot of the Ixion club, the Tam
many organization OF the Eighteenth
assembly district, barking at intervals
i'm the hallway. There was a business
like note in the bark that finally led
Mrs. Anna Ward, who was visiting
friends on the second floor, to investi-
gate. She whstled to Jack. but he
replied as plainly as dog can speak:
Come"
Mrs. Ward fastened down stairs and
in the dark hallway dimly discerned
Jack stationed at the foot of a baby
carriage belonging to one of the ten
ants. That was all Mrs. Ward could
see at first, but Jack, observing her
about to depart, barked insistently.
Mrs. Ward retraced her steps and
peered into the carriage. Nesting on
the pillow was a new born baby boy.
Smuggling so close as to furnish ample
warmth was big white cat. Tabby
was purring soothingly. and as If lulled
by this strange song the baby slept.
Mrs. Ward drew off her shawl and
wrapped the infant I'm its folds Jack
ceased barking and trotted out of the
door. Tabby followed with matronly
dignity.
News OF the discovery OF the found
ling spread through the tenement. A

Word was sent TO Bellevue hospital.

had attended to her duties so we'll and
Jacks summons had been so prompt
that the baby had not suffered in the
slightest from exposure in the cold
hallway. The child was taken to

SIGNALING THROUGH THE SEA
Submarine System to Be Installed

Ships
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Nov. lit has been
demonstrated beyond doubt that the
new submarine signaling system which
the Cunard Steamship company in
stalled recently on the Lucania Is sue
cessful, and it will be put on all Of the
companys transatlantic steamships
within a short time. The trial of the
new invention was made on the last
eastward trip of the Lucania. The big
liner came into port last week, and yes
terday Capt. j. B. Watt made a report
to the officers of the company. His
report also included the experiments
that were made as the ship came into
this harbor.
The submarine system is the simplest
of all wireless communications between
vessels at sea. 1t consists OF two
sixteen-inch tubes. one on each side
Of the bottom of the ship. These con-
tain a delicate apparatus. The tubes
are connected transmitters. They send
as we'll as receive signals. From the
tubes there is a wire running up to the
bridge of the officer on watch. He can
put over his head the same kind Of
receiver as telephone girls use In the
central office.
If vessel is approaching another
and both have the system working
each can locate the other without at
mospheric Interference, as is SO often
the case in the use of the wireless
telegraphy system. Water is a better
conductor than air. At present the
lightships at the approach to New York
harbor are fitted up with the system,
as are also the ones In Liverpool harbor
I'VE got the first signal on this trip"
said Capt Watt yesterday, "abou ten
miles from land. 1t was very faint on
the port side. Then we swung around
about two points and got a better result
on the starboard side. That proved be-
yond all doubt that the system Is a sue

GRATED RABBIT TO HORSE
Bunny Takes to Treatment Kindly
and Aids Materially In

Special to The Herald.
CHITTENDEN, VT, Nov. 11.-Elmer
Purday, a local farmer. who is also
something Of a horse and COW doctor,
has just succeeded in perfecting cure
which is attracting considerable atten-
tion hereabout The method used is not
new, but so far as known 1t has never
been applied to a horse.
Several weeks ago a valuable roam
colt belonging to Purdy ran into a
barbed-wire fence and lacerated its OFF
shoulder. The wound did not seem to
be serious and the usual methods for
healing were applied. For a time the
wound got along we'll enough, but later
developed into a running sore and the
colt went lame. Some Of the shoulder
muscles were affected and 1t looked as
though the animal would have to be
killed.
Purdy tried all the remedies he knew
of. but they did no good, and finally
he determined to graft a live hare onto
the leg over the wound. He therefore
set a box trap in the woods, baited 1t
with popple bark and carrot and
caught a lively jack rabbit. Purdy
then undertook to etherize the bunny,
for fear that the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals. which
is particularly active in Rutland coun-
| ty, would step in and make things dis
agreeable for him. Not being an ex-
pert in administering ether, he killed
the hare.
Later on he caught a second rabbit
and was more successful, etherizing IT
properly When this had been done "A
slit was made in the skin along the
side and the fur pulled back far enough
to cover the sore on the colts shoulder.
The wound was then bathed with a
solution of corrosive sublimate to ster-
lize 1t and the rabbit bound In such a
way as to completely cover the same.
The skin was then stitched to the
horses hide and the colt WAS swung

Details reached here this week
of the shooting of Bully Neuby by
Wash Farmer, a negro tenant liv-

Olive Branch, which occurred last
Thursday.
From information received it
seems that Farmer had taken up
a COW that belonged to Neuby,
and which the latter was allowing
to run at latter. Newby armed
himself with a shotgun, it is SAID,
and started out to release the ami.
NAL. He went to Farmers house
and an alteration took place. In
the fight that followed Farmer
got in the first shot, emptying the
contents of a shotgun into his op.
ponent's face, inficting a wound
that destroyed Neuby's eyesight.
