Frightened by Auto Horn

While driving in Belleview avenue
early in the afternoon the horses be-
came frightened and ran away. The
singletree was broken at that time.
Danger tied it together with a piece of
wire and continued making deliveries.
About 6 o'clock he reached Broadway.
His wagon at that time contained six
cases of extracts. AS he reached the
corner of Second street the horses be-
came frightened at the footing of an
automobile horn, suddenly reared, then
dashed down the street. Danger clung
to the lines and sawed on the bits but
was unable to stop the team.
The crowds which filled the street at
that time scurred for shelter from the
fear-maddened animals which Danger
guided between street cars and around
wagons, several of which he narrowly
missed striking.
At last the team crossed Fourth
street, and Danger could see ahead of
him an even more crowded route than
the one through which he had just
passed. Looking ahead, he knew it was
impossible to save his wagon from be.
| ing dashed to pieces against one of the
| approaching street cars At glance
he saw large pile of bricks on the left
side of the street, and toward them the
young driver turned his horses heads.
Into the pile the horses rushed, and the
wagon was suddenly hurled high in the
air and alighted on it's box, having
turned completely over in it's passage.
The horses tore loose from the wreck
and dashed madly down the street.
A crowd at once gathered and many
words of praise We're uttered for the
young man, whose GOODNESS and bravery
probably had saved a number of pedes-
trians from injury if not death.
