POLICEMAN STOPS
 DASHING RUNAWAY
Aided by Walter Campbell, Officer Moore Brings Frightened Horses
 to Halt at City Hall

Patrolman David Moore of the local police force and Walter Campbell, an employe of the Board of Public Works stopped a runaway team of horses which came dashing down West Main street this morning about 11:45 o'clock The team was attached to an ice wa gon belonging to the New Britain Ice Corporation.
 The man in charge of the team was in the office of the Russell and Erwin Co. and had left the team standing outside with chain on them while he was delivering ice within. The horses became frightened at some- thing and started down Washington street towards West Main street, turn ed the corner and came dashing down the street towards Main street.
 Officer Moore was doing duty at the traffic post in front of Wilson's Cloth ing store when he spied the frighten- ed horses in their mad gallop. As they came upon him, the office grasp ed the lines and started to pull the team up. The heavy wagon with its load of ice pushed the horses on, and broke the traffic sign to pieces as it passed. The officer was dragged off his feet and on account of the icy con- dition of the street, was unable to re- gain them. He stopped the speed of the outfit however and then Walter Campbell sprang to his assistance. Both men succeeded in halting the team just at the entrance to the Ly- ceum theater. The courage of the oa1- cer and the timely assistance of MT. Campbell. in all probability saved the lives of many of the people who were on the crosswalks in the center, and prevented the team from doing much damage to property.
