TWO TRAINERS BARELY MISS BE-
ING TORN TO PIECES BY
CRAZED ANIMAL.
MEN In PASTEUR INSTITUTE
Brooklyn Fire Department Animal
Suddenly Becomes Savage and
Attacks Employes-Fall Is
Cause of Horses Rage.

New York-With their flesh badly
torn and their bodies covered with
bruises as the result of desperate
battle with a maddened fire horse,
Daniel Gallagher and Joseph B..
Campbell horse trainers attached to
the Brooklyn fire department, are
patients in the Pasteur institute, in
East Twenty-third street, where 1t is
feared Gallagher will die.
From Gallagher's left forearm a
large portion of the flesh was torn
away from the bone, there are marks
of the horses teeth all over his body,
and for a time it was feared he was
internally injured where the crazed
animal stepped on him. Campbell,
whose injuries were not so serious,
is improving rapidly.
That Gallagher is still alive Is due
to the bravery of Campbell, who at
the danger of his life drove off the
horse after the animal had thrown
Gallagher to the floor of the training
stable. in st. Edwards street. and was
about to trample out his life. Deputy
Commissioner Charles C. Wise, who
was in the building at the time the
horse attacked the two trainers, also
went to the rescue
Old Charley, the horse. was at
tached to Engine Company 10S. The
horse had been running with the en-
CINE for two years and always was
gentle. Recently while running from
his stall in response to an alarm.
Old Charley slipped and in falling hit
his head against one of the wheels of
the engine.
DR.. Edward B. Heard, veterinary
surgeon of the department, was called
and said the horse would be all right
within a few days. II is believed.
however, that the skull bone may
have been splintered, for the horse
suddenly became ugly. He attacked
one of the firemen attached to Engine
No. 10s and then it was decided to
take him to the horse hospital and
training quarters, in st. Edwards
street, for treatment.

to the stall on the second floor of the

miles, before the trainmen were able
to overcome him. When the train
reached here it required the efforts
of several men to remove the engi-
neer to a hospital.
Merksen had been sick and had not
worked for two weeks. He reported
for duty at Des Moines and was sent
out on his regular run. After leaving
Valley Junction, the fireman, Will
Robson, noticed that Merksen was
talking to himself. Finally Merksen
told the fireman a man was pursuing
him. trying to force him to take CO
caine. He kept up this harrangue
despite the efforts of the fireman to
quiet him.
After leaving Adair Merksen pulled
the throttle wide open and got the
train under terrific speed. The train
tore through the next town at
rate of miles an hour.
The fireman knew the train had
meeting point at Atlantic. 23 miles
distant, and tried to quiet the crazed
engineer without success. The trains
speed increased, and Merksen gave
no heed to the grades, going down
hills at speed that threatened to
dash the train into the ditch.
The head brakeman suspected that

tack on the latter. The horse fought
the two until the appearance of sew
eral men from the repair shop in the
basement, who had heard the sounds
of the struggle.
Mr.. Wise, Deputy Fire Chief Lally
and DR.. Heard also rushed upstairs.
The horse made a rush for the group
of men and for several minutes they
were unable to capture him. Mr.. Wise
then had one of the men call an agent
of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty 10 Animals. Before the man
arrived the firemen had succeeded in
getting ropes about Old Charley. The
agent of the animal society then
killed the maddened creature.
Gallagher and Campbell. who were
weak from their fight with the AMI
NAL, were examined by surgeon.

ward to the engine Seeing him start
over the tender. Merksen stepped
down from his seat in the cab. and.
grasping a coal pick, threatened to
brain the brakeman If he came into
the cab. The fireman took advan-
tage of the diversion to shut off the
steam. Then he clinched with Merk-
sen, who was a large and powerful
man.
Coming over the tender the brake
man took hand in the three-corner-
ed contest. Merksen fought like a
demon. and it was some time before
the two men were able to overcome
him and force him into a corner At
this moment the conductor came
scrambling into the cab, and the
two trainmen took charge of the
maniac, while the fireman took the
throttle.
The run from Adair to Atlantic was
an exciting one. The fireman d.
vided his time between the directing
of the movement of the engine and
shoveling coal into the firebox. while
the two trainmen struggled to pre-
vent the crazed engineer from break
ing away and jumping from the 10,

Atlantic was reached in safety,
however. and the engineer sent to
