CAPT. CRAFTS HAT MISTAKEN
 FOR BUNCH OF HAY BY HORSE

Mobile, July 31.--(Special.) )--Captain John Craft was bitten by horse to- day while walking near the curb line on Broad Street. MT. Craft was wear Ing at the time a fancy Panama hat which has a striking resemblance to we'll dried hay in which there is sprinkled much clover" The ener- getic President of the Commercial Club also wore a summer suit In which there is a shade of green.
 MT. Craft approached the animal from the rear and 1t. is thought by many Of those who witnessed the oc- currence that the horse got a hasty glance at the Panama hat and thought 1t small hay stack floating by. Wheth- CT 1t was the horses anxiety to get a good nouthful before 1t should be be- yond reach or whether Mr. Craft moved too suddenly perhaps will never be clearly explained. The Captain is quite aware however, that the horse got him on the arm and that he was obliged to have this member of his anatomy dressed at drug store.
 What makes the horses mistake all the more remarkable is that MT. Craft is the President of the Humane Soci- ety here.

Governor Lea sent detach- ment of fifty soldiers to arrest the man who threw the brick and then despatched officials to pacify tHe en. ragged soldiers. Finally quiet was re- stored but not until more than a score of persons had been injured.
