AUTO STOPS RUNAWAY
Regular Movie Stunt Pulled on
Eighth Avenue Sunday.

When a motor car dashed out west
on Eighth avenue Sunday afternoon
shortly after o'clock, witnesses who
thought the persons in the car simply
desired to be in at the finish of the
spectacular runaway team OF horses
preceding them in their mad career,
did not know that the occupants of
that car were using their speed for a
purpose.
Equal to any of the daring death
leaps in the movie shows was the
jump taken by Dewey Gregg. of 400
Harrison street, into the flying wagon
behind the team. The driver, man
past middle age, was unaware of the
arrival of Gregg until his two arms app
peared to aid the owner of the team
in pulling in the frightened horses
The team became frightened some
place near Eighth and Kansas avenue
and dashed west as far as Fillmore
street before they were stopped. In a
car driven by Earl Gregg, the Gregg
boys romped out in pursuit of the
team. Arriving alongside the wagon,
Dewey Gregg stepped out on the run
ming board and made the jump into
the wagon. His added strength was
sufficient to aid the other man in
stopping the horses.
