RISKS HIS LIFE TO
SAVE CHILDREN IN
RUNAWAY PATH
Nest Orange Man Hurt Bring
ing GaIloping Horses to
a Stop.

AT the risk of his life, Francis
Connolly. Of Washington street,
West Orange, stopped a runaway
team of horses yesterday on Lake
side avenue, that. town. lie was ON
his way home from church when the
runaway occurred and as result
he is suffering from a deep cash over
his right eve and many bruises.
Connolly was walking east on
Lakeside avenue, and was just about
to cross the Erie Railroad track
when the cries of passersby made him
turn his head and look up toward
Valley road. He saw a team of
horses hitched to a wagon belonging
TO Francis j. Purssell e. Co, cater
srs, of Orange, on a dead gallop, ap-
preaching on Lakeside avenue.
There was no driver on the seat,
and just below Watching avenue,
where there is a colony of Greeks,
D number of little children were
playing in the street Connolly ran
into the street and grabbed at the
bride of the horse nearest to him.
The impetus swung him off his feet,
but he managed to retain his grip on
the bride
With his free hand, Connolly, who
Is an exceptionally big and strong
man, grasped the horse by the nos
trils and shut off it's wind. The
slowing down of one of the animals
caused the other to slaclIen its pace.
Just before the team came to a
stop, Connolly, in some unknown
manner, swung in between the horses
and the pole of the wagon struck
him over the eye, almost tearing off
the eyebrow Despite the blood that
nearly blinded him, Connolly kept
his grip, and had almost stopped the
horses, just in time to prevent them
hitting one of the children playing
in the street, when Edward Malone
rushed out to his aid and caught the
other horse by the bride.
The horses had become frightened
at piece of paper that was blown
In front of them when they were
standing near Valley road and, when
their driver was in a nearby house,
had broken the weight strap which
held them and bolted. Connolly's
clothes were badly torn during the
accident.
A number of the mothers OF the
little Greek children gathered around
Connolly and helped him battle his
eye and bandage number of other
cuts and bruises. The women were
unstinted in the praise for his brav-
cry, and the husband of one of the
women, whose child was almost di-
rectly in the way of the on-rushing
horses, sent for an automobile and
took Connolly home After a few
hours rest Connolly said that he felt
aI right and returned to his work
this morning.
Connolly is well known throughout
the Oranges. He is a member of
