POLICE OFFICERS SAVE
CROWD FROM TRAMPL|NG
Heroically Stop Runaway Team
Bearing Down On Those
Watching Fire

Two police officers, Henry Shook
ana August Dreyer, connected with
the flying squadron OF the central sta
ton, held thousands OF people spell
bound this noon when they struggled
with a team OF runaway horses on
Cadillac-sq. The horses had become
frightened by the bells and whistles
OF fire engines responding TO an alarm
from the Schroeder Paint & Glass
Co.'s store, Nos. 47-55 Cadillac-sq
and the officers were dragged for
more than half block by the terror.
stricken animals before they were
brought TO stop.
Just as the flying squadron swung
around the corner of the Burns ho-
tel, Officers Shook and Dreyer saw
the horses, which were attached TO a
dump wagon, start racing across the
square. The thousands who had gath
cred iE anticipation of witnessing a
confiagration. blocked the square and
hundreds stood in the path OF the
horses -
The officers leaped from their ma
chine and wound their arms abouT
the necks OF the animals. The horses
were eating at the time the alarm was
sent In and their halters had been re-
moved. This made II all the more
difficult for the officers TO stop the
horses. The animals. leaping high in
the air. dashed across the wide ex
panse OF pavement and bore down
upon part OF the crowd that was
hemmed in by the fire apparatus In
front OF the Burns hotel. Shook and
Dryer succeeded in stopping the team
few feet away from the crowd.
The cause OF the alarm was the dis
covery OF small blaze in the rear OF
the paint and glass store. 1t was sooil
extinguished.
