rigan's efforts to stop him were fruit

Eller was on the north side OF One
Hundred and Twenty-ffth street. He
waited for the runaway to cross the
car tracks before he jumped for the
bride. The jolting over the car tracks
bounced Kerrigan off.
The big policeman got a one-hand grip

four blocks. when his weight brought
the galloping horse to a standstill. Half

The railway trains could carry John
