TWO MEN HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
IN RUNAWAY

I. Edelstein NJ the Brownsville Mcr.
camille company and Chas. Baker had
a narrow escape from injury with a
fractions horse yesterday morning about
III o'clock while driving along Eleventh
street.
A bolt came out of the shaft and while
Edelstein was on the ground hunting
for the bolt, after having dropped the
lines on the ground the horse for some
unknown reason took fright and started
to run down the alley. Chas. Baker
thinking Of nothing but safety first
lost no time in throwing himself from
the buggy and when he picked himself
from the ground the horse was several
hundred feet away making a Nancy
Hanks pace down the alley on Monroe
street between 10th and 18th streets.
The horse finally colIided with a tclc
graph pole and not being satisfied. with
pulling the weight Of the buggy left the
vehicle at the pole taking only the
shafts with him in his mad flight. Mr..
Edelstein had some money i'm a small
wallet and this was scattered about the
alley but all was recovered. Neither
Mr.. Edclstcin or Mr.. Baker were in
jured. The horse was stopped several
hundred yards from where he started.
