CHECKS RUNAWAY
HORSES, LEAP|NC
FROM MOTOR CAR.
Spectacular Feat by Traffic Of
6cer William Cameron
MAIN STREET STARTLED
Team Owned by White Creek
Farmer Runs Wild Over
New Concrete
MAIN STREET STARTLED

One of the most exciting runaways
seen on Main street in months took
place yesterday afternoon when a
pair OF horses hitched to a double
wagon and belonging to White
Creek farmer turned the new concrete
thoroughiare into a speedway. The
horses began t.le.r wild career at
some point this side oil the Cooper
bridge and were not halted until after
they had passed St Francis de Sales
church. How ii was possible for them
to cover such a distance at high
rate OF speed--for horses-~wlthout
damaging anything but their own legs
is one OF those uneXplainaSle but for
tunate things Glat sometimes happen.
AS the horses passed the corner OF
North and Main street the one on the
right was thrown heavily. The outtit
was travelling with suen speed. how
ever, that its pace was not checked
by the fall The horse lying upon
the road was dragged from the corner
to the entrance OF Taylor's Putnam
House garage where it scrambled to
its feet and continued its wild career
toward Old Bennington
Traffic Officer William Cameron,
who was on duty at Putnam House
corner, saw the runaway as 1t ap-
preached the square and did what he
could to clear the way. He then
called to Ronald Stafford OF the Put
nam House who picked up the officer
on the running board Of Ills car and
started in pursuit. The car hit better
than forty miles an hour before II
reached the running horses. Stafford
pulled his car closely to the running
animals and Cameron, catching his
hands in the harness, vaulted to the
back OF the nearest horse In reac1
ing to check the riderless horse the
oficer wrenched his shoulder but 9th
erwlse was not hurt.

Pilot Of Monoplane Was In Air More
Than 26 Hours.
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening.
Mineola. n. y, Dec. 30.-The Lar

Stinson. which this morning broke the
worlds continuous flying record of %
hours. l9 minutes and seconds,
descended shortly after Ills a. m,
after having been in the air 26 hours,
10 minutes and 80 seconds.
Stinson was forced TO descend be-
cause of a faulty oil connection with
which he and his mechanician, Lloyd
Bertaud. had battled since O'Clock
this morning. They still had gas
enough to have flown until sundown.
The pump used TO inject oil into the
lubricating system from the auxiliary
oil tank. went out of commission at
g o'clock. The fliers punctured the
tank, set UP temporary tube and be
gan feeding the lubricating system by
hand, taking turns at the controls of
the plane and at the oil tank.
Both men We're almost blinded by
oil when they descended. In addition
:hey were suffering intensely from the
bitter cold, for although the plane
was equipped with a cabin, Stinson
had not left his seat IN the open cock
pit since 1 p. m, yesterday and his
mechanician found little time to seek
warmth.
Three fingers of Stinsons right hand
and one on his left We're frozen. Ber-
