 Patrolman Russell. long accustomed to pushing pedals and grasping the handle bars, had been known to fre- Quenuy express a desire to ride once as a mounted patrolman so that he might demonstrate the true principles of horsemanship. The genial patrol man. it had been asserted. was no.rle- vice on horseback and it had even been hinted that he had been a trick rider ln his time.
 The long wished for time arrived Wednesday night when colleague Troy MuPrell was indisposed thereby failing to report for duty. The bicycling Rus sell was assigned to take care of "Old Hawk" He was to ride in company with Murrells companion. Joe PartIh.

The animals were turned and soon they were at the extreme end If South Perry Street.
 Suddenly old Hawk" grew restless and an instant later he darted in a portherly direction at break neck ~need. The sudden jerk destroyed the e1uilibrium of the bicyclist Russell, te 1,tterly forgot that he was on a horse and began to act like he was astrlde a bicycle.
 The horse was uncomfortable. He was running away Russell applied inc reversible brake. His feet whirl- ad around and around while his hands, instead of pulling the reins in, threw tbe brides to the front in order that more force might be secured for brakes.
