Hose Wagon Driver,
Hurled from Seat,
Holds on to Reins

A thriving exhibition OF grit was
displayed Friday evening by Harry
Brown. driver of Hose 2, when he
hung to the reins over the backs of
the magnificent span of grays at
tached to the Hose wagon as they
dashed down Main street after the
heavy wagon had overturned Just
after it had left the fire house, until
they were stopped just opposite the
head of Appleton street. Mr.. Browns
escape from serious injury was pro-
vidential, for when the cart tipped
over, he swung clear and struck the
ground in a sitting position free of
the cart. Had the heavy vehicle
struck him it would no doubt have
been a fatality.
The gravity of the situation is in
creased by the fact that the alarm
which called the fire department out
was false one. It was rung in
from the corner Of West Winter and
Burleigh streets and last evenings
accident goes to prove that the ring
ing of the alarm might have meant
the death of man, therefore the
ringing of a false alarm might be-
come serious affair.
The combination chemical had al
ready left the house, as had the hook
and ladder team and when the hose
cart swung out onto the icy street
one wheel caught in the car track
and over it went. The horses started
on mad dash down Main street.
Luckily the driver, Brown, was not
injured and quickly sensing the stu
alton he chung to the reins. The
sight of the big grays galloping
down the street with the overturned
wagon and the driver not in sight
caused a great deal of excitement
and a crowd quickly gathered. all
shouting to the seemingly maddened
animals. The horses themselves
showed remarkable intelligence. as
they soon recovered from the shock
OF the overturning of the cart. and
listened to the voice of their driver
as he steadied them down from their
mad run. Many hands helped to set
the wagon upright again. when 1t was
found that the hind axle was badly

and the truck had already returned
Mr.. Brown. back at the fire house,
said that his first thought when the
horses began tosrun was the danger

stop them if he could hold on long
enough. He received many compli-
