FIRE HORSES
IN WILD DASH
Came Near Going Over the Bulk
head at the Foot Of High Street
This Morning.
JOHN DRIFTS GOOD WORK

John Drift, a member Of Eagle
Hose & Chemical Company and a
driver for A. F. Munoz, a local truck
man, had narrow escape from SER
ious injury shortly before 8 o'clock
this morning, when the Eagles team
Of spirited fire horses ran away and
came near going over the bulkhead
at the foot of High street
Mr.. Drift, this morning, thought
he would take the team out for a lit
tie exercise, as they had not had any
in several days He harnessed them
to truck at Mr. Munoz's stable on
Brighton avenue and was about to
start out when the horses gave a leap
and tried to dash from the yard to
the street. Mr.. Drift was thrown to
the ground and badly bruised, while
the horses were stopped through the
pole becoming fast against a build
ing.
Undaunted by the mishap Mr..
Drift took his seat and, in spite of
the fact that the team was excited,
drove them to the street. The horses
made break at once and sped down
Market street towards the park at a
terrific gait. Drift was unable to
sup bAGAls Jul 0Au ilOt AOSS HIS nCdA.
He guided them around the park,
down High street while he tried to
extricate his foot which had become
fast under the seat. 1t was so firmly
wedged there that he saw that he
would have to remove his foot from
the shoe. Giving the horses their
heads, with one hand he united the
lace and loosened his foot.
BY this time the maddened team
had reached Lewis Street and the
driver saw that unless he stopped
them they would plunge over the
blukhead at the foot Of the street.
Throwing all his strength into his
arms he gave a might pull and threw
both animals, only few feet away
from the waters edge.
When the team fell Mr.. Drift man
aged to hold his seat and escaped In
jury, other than the shock. The wag-
on was uninjured, but the horses
were scratched and bruised by their
fall After being quieted they were
taken back to their stable.
In conversation with a NEWS man
Mr.. Drift said that the runaway was
caused by the horses being too close
lily hitched to the wagon
Later Mr.. Drift discovered that his
gold Waltham watch was missing.
He searched along the route of the
exciting ride, but was unable to find
it. He has notified the police. Mr.
Drift had two badly bruised arms and
| injuries about the head.
