Patrolman's Brave Act.

A New York patrolman of the East 126th street station, sent thrills up and down the spines of several hundred persons in Third avenue the other afternoon when he leaped for the head of a runaway horse, mi&sed the bridle, fell sprawling, and then picked himself up in time to get a grab at the end of the flying wagon. Such was the speed at which the outfit was moving that the policeman, to the admiration of onlookers, was hoisted into the wagon. He found it impossible to stop the horse, but calmly sat in the driver’s seat and waited until the animal was halted by a string of street cars at 138th street. The horse had run more than three miles.
