RAN TWO MILES ON TRACK.
Bridge over the River and Dark Tun.
mel Had No TerrOrs for Horse.

a most remarkable runaway occurred
Thursday when a horse ran all the way
from Winooski to Burlington, the mus
ual part of it being that the animal did
not select the highway for his perform
ance but came to the city on the Central
Vermont railway track all the way from
Winooski station to the Central ermo
roundhouse in the northern part of the
railroad yard in this city. The horse be-
longed to Napoleon Labounty of Winoo-
ski. While 1t was standing near the
freight yard IN that village 1t became
frightened at an approaching train and
started to run away. 1t separated itself
from the sleigh, then started down the
track. The animal passed safety over
the railroad bridge below Athletic Park
and kept to the track straight through
the tunnel. When II reached the Central
Vermont ~roundhouse II was seen by O.
man who Taught the horse and took 1t to
Collins livery stable. Although the horse
passed through a rather trying expert
ence 1t was unhurt and the only unusual
thing about its appearance was the alb
sence of two shoes. one from a forward
foot and one from "a hind foot.

FIRE AROUSES FAMILY.
BInzc Starting in Bathroom Works in
Partitions to Attic.

Fire was discovered in the home of
Mrs. Elizabeth Mulqueen at IS North
Winoosk avenue Friday morning
about six O'Clock and on account of the
start which it had gave the fremen a
lively fight, although it was subdued by
the use of the chemical.
Mrs. Mulqueen, her mother. Mrs. Mary
Carroll. and her daughter, Miss Nellie
Mulqueen, occupy the second floor Of the
building and the fire started in the bath
room in the rear of the apartment. Mrs.
Mary Carroll, who Is 81 years of age,
vas awakened by smoke and with a cry
of fire she aroused the remainder OF the
household. For a time IN effort was
made to fight the fire by the use of pans
of water, and because of this the blaze
got a good start. Finally. seeing that it
was beyond control. Miss Mulqueen at
tracted the attention of William Suck
storff, who lives across the street. and
he sent in an alarm from box 22l.
The fire had meantime gotten into
the partitions and worked its way into
the attic. The heat was so intense that
pipes in the bathroom melted and the
water in the tank was brought to a boil
ing point. 1t was necessary for the fire
men to cut a hole in the roof to get at
the fire in the attic. but the chemical
was sufficient to stop the trouble.
The building is owned by f. S. Spear.
The first floor Is not damaged to any
extent except where some of the chemi-
cal leaked through. As far as the re-
mainder of the building goes the damage
is mostly confined to the bathroom and
roof. Smoke caused n considerable dam
age to the Muloueen furniture and some
valued articles are destroyed. The insur-
ance is carried in the agency Of T. s.
Peck.
