MURPHY BEATS HIS
MINUTE RIDE
Jamaica Policeman in PerilOus
Crash in Front Of Train
When Team Bolts.

Policeman Charles II. Murphy, OF the
Jamaica precinct. better known as
"Mile-a- Minute Murphy" because or a
daring ride he took several years ago
behind Long Island Railroad tram
bad a narrow escape last night while
exercising the patrol wagon horses.
Tho horses are new. and as there was
little work for them Yesterday Murphy
decided 10 take them for drive. On
Smith street they bolted.
As they crossed Jamaica avenue they
Just missed hitting a couple Of trolley
cars. on they went toward the Long
Island Railroad tracks.
Murphy. straining with all his might
upon the reins, was unable to cheek
the frightened animals. but did sue
coed in keeping them in the middle OF
the road But as the team neared the
railroad tracks he was Mortified to see
the gateman lowering the gates.
At the top of his voice ne yelled for
the gates to be left up until he had
got over. But the gateman did not
hear. and down the gates went.
Murphy heard a train approaching.
He was considering the advisability,.o o.
steering into 2 tree and taking the
chance of being injured to save crash
ing into the railroad gates and possibly
being killed.
Before he could decide the horses hah
plunged into the sates.
4 train was about one hundred teet
away and coming at express speed.
Murphy murmured a prayer, sure the
next second would he his last.
The horses, however, never siackened
their speed Crashing through the
gates. they galloped across the tracks.
They were smashing down the second
gates. which were also lowered on tho
other side Of the tracks, when the eS-
press dashed by. Murphy felt the wind
of the train as II whizzed by.
Two and half miles further the
horses went before Murphy, weak as
kitten and with beads Of persplrstlon
all over his face was able TO stop
them.
