ToTTENvILLE, Aug. IA horse
belonging to O'Gorman and Haffner,
milk dealers in Main street, who ped
die the Perth Amboy Milk & Cream
Company's milk, ran away from in
front of the store yesterday morning
"a few minutes before twelve o'clock.
The horse was standing In front of
the store when it became frightened
and started to run.
Edward Goodale. the driver, made
a grab to catch the horse and caught
the bride, but this gave way and the
horse lit out, leaving Goodale dunn
founded with the bride in his hand.
The horse turned from Main street
into the Arthur XIII road and headed
for Bentley street, In his mad run
the horse and wagon narrowly es-
capped hitting a steam roller at work
in the street, a sprinkling cart, and
several automobiles. The automo-
biles were only missed by two or
three inches.t
Entering Bentley street, the horse
headed for the ferry house and as
there was no boat in the slip at~the
time, the gates were closed. This
fact caused the horse to slow down
his gait and helped to keep him from
plunging into the sound. The gate
was badly damaged by the impact.
The horse was caught by Frank
Wood, the bridge man and 1t was
mainly through his efforts that the
horse was kept from leaping into the
water.
