heroically leaped into the skidding wagon and, grabbing the dangling reins, brought him to a sudden stop in front of Neri's store.
 MT. Elmgren had just taken the wagon body from Thomas Pagan s house on Peck street when his horse got away for his mad dash. He grabbed frantically for the reins, but missed, and the equine tore down the road at such speed that he was unable to negotiate the turn into Main street He ran into Fitzsimon's lot, but immediately retraced his steps, Knocking down a few small trees as he did so. Then he made a "bee line' for the railroad bridge throw ing scares into all those who attempted to stop him. Just as he neared the bridge, the 10:1O New Britain bound trolley car came along and eyewit- nesses expected that he would break his neck by plunging headlong into the car. Motorman Rempp per ceved the mad equine. however, and put on enough speed to allow space Tor the turnout to pass. Right on sped the horse, almost striking Elmer R. Austin's meat cart which was turn ing in from Depot square and imme- dlately after sidesWpping telegra ph pole At this juncture, Gianna came upon the scene and made the daring stop.
 Among those who tried to stop the horse was Angelo Binardo. He was in chair at Lyons barber shop submit ting to the process of having his face scraped, when he heard the rumble outside. He leaped to his feet and dashed out into the road with a towel clinging to him and lather dripping from his chin. the astounded "Bilr Lyons following with his razor seem ingly determined to take no chances on having his customers get away from him.
