YOUNG COUPLE ARE
HURT IN RUNAWAY
Buggy Strikes Hydrant, Hurting
Girl and Companion to
the Pavement
Suisun Hotelman Sustains Frac=
ture of Arm and Internal
Injuries

Following a wild ride behind a run
away horse for nine blocks down the
long Van Ness avenue hill south from
California street, pretty Miss Elizabeth
Whooten of 1908 Van Ness avenue and
Edward Mullin, proprietor of the Suisun
hotel at Suisun, were hurled 15 feet yes
terday afternoon with terrific force,
when their buggy collided with d hy-
drant at Golden Gate avenue. Both
received severe injuries, Mullin being
hurt internally and sustaining a frac-
ture of the arm.
The occupants of the runabout struck
the pavement within few feet of
each other Both were unconscious
when horrified spectators went to their
assistance.
Miss Whooten lay with the side of
her head badly gashed and bleeding
freely. She did not recover conscious
ness for more than an hour after
the accident. There were ugly lacera-
tions on the right side that may perma-
nently disfgure her face.
STRIKES STAIRWAY
Mullin struck jutting stairway in
his fall. Bleeding from many cuts and
bruises he was hurried to the central
emergency hospital, where Doctor Till
man attended him. He was bruised
and lacerated about the body and head
in addition to his other injuries.
The young couple had just left the
home of Miss Whooten and were on
their way to Golden Gate park when
the horse took fright at the sudden
opening of parasol by Miss Whooten.
Mullin, an expert horseman, tried TO
control the frightened horse, but the
animal started to kick. At this point
the parasol was carried from the hands
of Miss Whooten by the wind and the
horse, frightened to madness, ran wildly
down the hill. Three times the run
about Swerved to the sides of the ave-
nue., dangerously near trees and poles
and careened first on one pair of wheels
and then on the other.
GIRL TAKES LINES
Hundreds witnessed the runaway and
many sought to stop it. Near Golden
Gate avenue, when the strain of tug
ging on the lines began to tell on
Mullin, Miss Whooten reached for the
lines and turned the horse into the
sidewalk where the collision with the
hydrant occurred. The occupants shot
from their seats through the air to the
sidewalk.
Miss Whooten was removed to her
home and Mullin was taken to the
Mount Zion hospital Miss Whooten
is suffering from severe shock to her
nerves.

INSTINCT THAT SAVED A LIFE.
Thoroughbred Horse Refused to Step
on Body In Roadway.

Stories Of the wisdom of animals are
not few in the present day, when the
humane societies are doing so much
to promote the rights of our dumb
brethren, yet each new tale is not
without it's own peculiar interest.
The following true story concerns a
horse belonging to man living in
Worcester, Mass, writes Mrs. A. X.
Knowlton, in Our Dumb Animals.
Prince was thoroughbred, his nat.
urally fine instincts sharpened and
rendered more acute by his training,
for he had known life on the race
track, until some slight accident un
fitted him for that career and trans
formed him into a carriage horse.
He was being driven homeward one
evening in winter when dusk was fast
rendering even nearby objects invis.
ible. Suddenly he stopped short, trem'
bling all over.
In vain his driver urged him to pro
coed. Prince refused to stir, and the
quivering of his muscles increased.
At last the driver left his seat to dis.
cover the cause Of this unusual be-
havior. 1t was soon explained. Just
in front Of the horse-in fact almost
beneath his appraised foot-lay a wom-
an who had slipped, fallen and was
unable to rise.
To avoid doing her injury that
splendid animal had resolutely held up
his fore foot for more than a minute.
No wonder he trembled from the
strain of his unaccustomed position.

When he came to the ant-hill, he
found companions and honey alike

There he came upon Winthrope

way beyond, nervously bending

Blake brushed past without reply

the girl. AS she glanced up at him,
he held out the crimson blossom.

said, in hesitating voice
Instead of taking the flower, she

even for his strength. Yet he caught

The Eavesdropper Caught.

g. doubts of Blake, the girls
NJ modesty would have caused
her to think twice before repeating to
him the Englishman's insulting pro-
posal While she yet hesitated and
delayed, Winthrope came down with
a second attack of fever. Blake, who
until then had held himself sullenly
apart from him as well as from Miss
Leslie, at once softened to gentler,
or, at least to more considerate
mood. Though his speech and bearing
continued morose, he took upon him
self all the duties of night nurse, be-
sides working and foraging several
hours each day.
Much to Miss Leslie's surprise, she
found herself tending the invalid
through the daytime almost as though
nothing had happened. But everything
about this wild and perilous life was
SO strange and unnatural to her that
she found herself accepting the most
unconventional relations as a regular
consequence Of the situation. She
was feverishly eager for anything that
might occupy her mind; for she felt
that to brood over the future might
mean madness. The mere thought of
the possibilities was far too terrifying
to be calmly dwelt upon. Though
slight, there had been some little com
fort in the belief that she could rely
on Winthrope. But now she was left
alone with her doubt and dread Even
If she had nothing to fear from Blake
there were all the savage dangers OF
the coast, and behind those, far worse
the fever.

back upon him, she set out across the
plain after Blake.
