NEW GLOVES FOR BRAVE COP

Fruit Peddler Bhows His Gratitude to Milwaukee Officer for Baving His Property. Milwaukee.—A pair of white gloves. This is the reward Traffic Patrolman Rohde received for risking his life in stopping a runaway a few days ago. “1 am satisfied," said the patrolman as he looked at his gloves and smiled. William Horowitx, a fruit peddler, was getting on his wagon at Seventh and Vilet streets when the horse shied and ran toward Chestnut street. Patrolman Rohde noticed the horse on the left side of the street, and as he sped past Chestnut street grabbed one of the lines. Hie horse dragged the patrolman. Rohde clung to the lines and soon stopped the horse. When Horowitx came to the scene a few minutes later the patrolman’s gloves were tom and soiled and he was bruised about the face.
