HORSE N SPECTACULAR
DASH DOES DAMAGE
Unknown Young Lady Has NARROW
Escape, Buggy and Automobile
Suffer.

At 1890 yesterday afternoon .
horse belonging to Liveryman N ].
Crufi and hired ythe Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company
made a spectacular dash down Seventh
Street into Main. where he was cap
tured and brought back by the traf-
fic officer stationed at Seventh and
Main.
The animal was being fed in the
alley behind the telephone company's
office, when It became frightened in
some unknown manner and ran away.
Turning In the narrow alley the horse
scattered the contents of the buggy
to which he was hitched and raE
out into Seventh Street. Circling
aroun an automobile standing at the
curb the animal almost tramplsd en-
a young lady who was passing and
whose name could not be learned.
The next obstacle in the way was
another automobile, a Fec. In trying
to pass around this the hcrse ran
on the sidewalk and the buggy vas
caught between the car and teIe-
phone post, was overturned ara
broken loose from the horse. The
animal galloped down to MafE, where
the pain of cuts on its legs inflicted
by q broken shoe brought it to a
stop. The buggy and harness were
badly broken and the back OF thu
automobile was also damaged 20 some
extent. The owner fthe machine
did not appear but the license num-
Der was d 90 Va.

WHATEVER RESULT,
TO APPEAL THAW CASE

New York. June 1s.-Hary K
Thaw's fight for liberty will begin on
Tuesday before Justice Hendrick in
the Supreme Court. Thaw will then
be tried before jury to determine
whether or not he is now a sane man.
John B. Stanchfieid will represent
Thaw and Frank A. Cook, deputy at
torney-general, will represent New
York State, which contends that
Thaw ia still insane
Whatever the results of this trial,
1t will undoubtedly be carried to the
Court of Appeals OF this State. but
in probability the decision on appeal
of the appellate division Of Supreme
Court will settle Thaw's fate. since
the question at issue Is one of the fact,
not of law. There is thought to be
practically no chance of the case going
to the United States Supreme Court.
The trial is expected to last about
ten days. The burden of proof rests
on Thaw. to show that he is now
sane.
If the jury decides Thaw Is now
sane and this verdict is sustained on
appeal. the slayer of Stanford White
will be free man.
